Distribution

    I see people complain about this enough that I figured I might as well share my own thoughts: what the hell is Mattel doing with their MOTU Origins distribution? Obviously, you should just preorder from BBTS if you desperately want something and are willing to wait. Unfortunately, some releases are out of stock but I doubt they won't get restocked soon. As far as brick and mortar stores go, though, forget about it. I've only seen Masters of the WWE Universe in Walmart once, and it doesn't look like distribution has gotten ANY better. It's pretty unfortunate that Walmart has become such a well-known carrier for exclusives, since their stocking is inconsistent at best. The Lanard Alien toys are a pretty solid example of this. Hopefully this will be a Rainmakers 3-pack situation where a couple years later BBTS gets a case for retail. In the meantime, I don't hold out hope for Mattel, though.
