All I know for a FACT is they have a licence to produce a product that there is a great demand for and are totally f@#king it up.

Except they're really not. We just got two new waves, working through revision cases now with shopping holidays coming up and another new wave about to hit. All fantastic figures too.

SDCC there wasn't much to say, we saw a few prototypes and they still have the rest of this years series to work through. There's still much to be excited about with the two three packs still coming besides the rest of this year's series with nova etc.

As for "what's really going on." No company tells you that. Just look at mattel and their constantly changing answers or refusal to answer. There are dates where they can tell you stuff and until then, they really can't say a word on certain things. Sometimes marketing data will change answers too and product we weren't supposed to see at all, has found an outlet before they could tell us about it.

The same is true for all industries. Even DC and Marvel themselves who constantly have to say "new project but can't tell you what yet." Just like covers can randomly change over at and they'll not want to talk about why, all industries have these little hiccups. Including having info and pics or prototypes they can't always show.

That's just part of the biz.

As for distribution. That's a mixture of Hasbro case assortment packing (which is getting fixed around the Jubilee wave) and retailer demands. It's middleman syndrome. Hasbro knows what we want, but a retailer imposes demands. The retailer is the one trying to tell hasbro what they think the consumers want... Which yeah never works out right, but the retailers are the ones ordering the cases so hasbro has to listen. The same is true for all toy companies.
