WM seems to have stopped carrying BotBots entirely?

As far as I can tell Walmart is 100% done with Botbots in store. Online the just added the gumball and crane set.
TRU distribution is all over the place. I've seen series 3 and 4 5-packs. No 8 packs at all. I haven't seen any blind boxes since series 1 either.
I don't mean to be an ass but this way of selling product is hot garbage. It makes it almost impossible to buy online as you don't know which pack you are going to get.
My kids and I love to play with them but it's a hard line to collect, they are just too hard to get your hands on.
I don't get companies/stores that have people waiting to spend money and the product just isn't there.
The biggest issue with botbots (and to a lesser extent the regular transformers lines) is the first wave of a line is usually SOOOOO over represented in the stores and it makes it hard to find anything past that. Does it really make sense to find wave 1 Botbots lining every shelf considering they came out 1.5 years ago?
Wave 1 toys sell X amount but every store seems to order enough wave 1 to for XXXX amount of sales.
Frustrating.
