>>7373744I really wish I could answer that question, but I don’t have any info regarding whether or not Mattel is aware of the problem.
Although I have seen some misunderstanding regarding the issue, so lemme try clarify distribution issues vs stocking issues.
If an assortment or line never came to your country, or a LARGE area around you, that’s a Mattel Distribution issue.
If an item was on shelves for a very short time or in a very limited quantity and then never got restocked, or a single specific item that’s part of an assortment never showed up, that’s on the store/chain you’re shopping at and it's a Stocking issue. (either the chain isn’t buying enough stock to supply all its stores or the store itself doesn’t directly order more)
So Destructasaurs never showing up in America is Mattel’s fault, but not being able to find a specific Battle Damage figure at an American Walmart is Walmart’s fault. Both seem to be big issues in the community, but they often get put into the same pot when it’s not the same thing. Hope that makes a little sense and helps people understand the difference!
>>7373766There’s 2 plesiosaurs coming for Dino Rivals, but I’m not sure if there’s anything else. No new Sinoceratops planned, only the Roarivore one.
One picture left. I'm gonna head out for a few hours so get those questions in, and I'll answer whatever is here once I get back!
