Re: Post your questions for the Mattel Q&A

On the MattyCollector Facebook page, I remember someone mentioned they had contacted Walmart Canada.

Unfortunately, they were told that Walmart Canada will NOT be ordering that wave, as they are not carrying the DCUC line.

So, here are my questions...

1) Given that Hasbro's Marvel Comic lines (e.g. Marvel Universe, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Iron Man animated, Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine & The X-Men) sell reasonably well, why has Walmart Canada refused to carry DCUC since the very first wave?

They seem fine with carrying the animated Brave & The Bold line (which do sell) and the Dark Knight movie figures (which nowadays do not sell and have become pegwarmers...at least at the Walmart close to where I live).

2) Will the later DCUC waves be available at Toys R Us, as well as the newer 2-packs (Batman & Clayface, and Superman & Brainiac)?

3) When wave 7 (the Atom Smasher wave) came out at Toys R Us, why did it seem like most stores only got half of the wave?

I never found a single Aquaman, Blue Beetle or Booster Gold at any store (and trust me, I hunted around frequently). I can understand if they were shortpacked, but it was easier to find the reissued figures of Green Lantern and Batman (which I assume would had as much demand) than those 3 particular figures.
