Fair enough, and I can't comment on the larger scale lines because they admittely fly under my radar. I think the summary of my point would be reatiler side distribution isn't a problem. (Let's face itl the same stores all carry Barbie, another matel product.)

If they want to get us a a product they can. How many million copies of Modern Warfare 3 did they ship day one?
Yes distribution is breaking down somewehere between factory output and our greedy little hands but it may be the maker underestimating demand, the retailer deciding not to carry it or a host of other problems all being labelled distribution.
Either way I hope to see an increased prescence by Dc in retailers next year.
