online stores usually order the latest releases and once its sold out its gone from their stores. Go to any of these sites and look at any toy line with multiples series and you will find half of the items sold out.

Online stores are good for getting the newer stuff but if you dont get something when it first out and come back later for it you missed it because it will not be restock again.

This is probably why NECA functions like it does in that all their action figs are essentially limited editions. Once orders drop to a certain level they will stop the line.

Using an example of both TRU and NECA, i think last year some time out of nowhere TRU began selling one of the earlier Gremlin series again. Some one found some stock and they had the balls to put it out and sell it.

Like others have said, TRU has the ability to do things that other stores may not.

Zoids is coming back and i had the idea that TRU may pick up the new toys because the newer ones are even more kid friendly and they did sell Zoids back in the day. With TRU gone now the likeness of an American launch of Zoids is 100% dead.

BBTS and EE may probably sell a few but Dorkside will surely not. And like i said, they will only sell the newer releases and never restock. And that's a fact when it comes these types of toys because this is exactly what they do with Gundam kits.
