As a walmart employee, yes they are told.

The buyers for the store's distribution centers (More commonly known as Warehouse) have full knowledge of what they;'re buying. It's not like Hasbro packs up a bunch of random toys in a blank box that simply says "Marvel Universe."

The cases come marked with the date issued, what wave, what revision, just about every detail they can put on the box, save for what exact figures are in the box. Which is also information that is accessible (Just not on the box).

The stores themselves do not have as much control, no. But the company itself absolutely has control over what you're saying they don't.

And if you're talking about three bumblebees in a wave, versus one soundwave, then that is a different problem entirely and has nothing at all to do with distribution.
