So the trend for the last 2 toy lines is TRU gets the first wave, then never or finally gets the later waves, while Walmart gets new waves, one after another. I don't understand how TRU just keeps getting stuck with the first waves and nothing new after, or not until a long time passes.

I have a feeling TRU tends to overestimate demand for the first wave, orders a huge amount of it, and as a result it shelfwarms, and that has an adverse effect on any decisions to stock subsequent waves, under the impression that the line as a whole is "not popular".
