Re: Does Masterpiece supply meet demand?
Depends on the character and so far the run has been limited in terms of mold selection but it is getting better. There's a ton of MP Primes out there it just depends on the version you want with the newest being the hardest to get. As for shelf warming I can say not too many have warmed real hard. I did pick up my MP Grimlock at TRU when it was out the week before Christmas in 2010 on sale, would that be considered shelf warming since it's release date? MP Skywarp at my local Walmart hit clearance for $25 that for sure warmed my shelves here and I still didn't buy it because I just wasn't into it.
I think it's a fine balance between supply and demand that yes is hard for the retailers and Hasbro to nail down because they do got to produce the toys so far ahead of being released for market. In my opinion I'm in favour of the retailers and Hasbro making/release smaller batches of toys more frequently than the mess we had with DOTM/Prime Bumblebee. Just have patience the toys will come.
