What about Mattycollector? If you haven't been able to get the product you want off of Mattycollector in the past year or so, then you're simply not applying any effort whatsoever to getting it. Most items have lasted at least a couple or three hours, and then been reissued not terribly long afterwards. Once again, if you didn't end up getting it (with a couple rare exceptions), it's your own fault. Contrary to what some people seem to believe, being a collector usually does require at least a tiny bit of effort.
If you're talking about Mattycollector's shitty customer service, that's a separate issue that has nothing to do with distribution. Beyond that, MattyCollector's level of sales will never match the money Mattel makes from retailers. It will always be a secondary effort for them.
Crazy Jetty gave a good explanation. The bottom line is that at most retailers for many lines, a handful of pegwarmers can gum up the entire system. The system doesn't care if those five DCUC figures it's tracking as still being in-store are 7 waves old. They just know "There's DCUC on the shelf so we're OK." We see the same thing with the Marvel lines, and especially with Star Wars (I swear to God most people will probably not see any "vintage" wave past the Episode I wave on-shelves this year...especially since retailers have been backfilling with leftover product from LAST year).
