In other words, Hasbro CANNOT give us a date since THEY don't even know. All Hasbro knows is a rough estimate for when the products are shipped from the factories to the retailers (based on order dates). It's all up to the retailers who bought the product from Hasbro to put them on the shelves. It was the same for Kenner, it's the same for Mattel and it's the same for most other manufacturers.

This is true. Unfourtunately true.
