User blog:BeaNOwl/Frustration with MGA's Distribution

MGA! Why you scorn me so? I am not the only one who feels this way, I see countless people on Facebook extract their irritation with this company. Their distribution is terrible. I live on the West Coast, and let me tell you, whether it's Target, Toys R Us, or Wal-Mart, there's nothing but sloppy seconds on the shelves. Everything is picked over no matter where I go, all the merchandise is so old. They announce new products but it takes months for them to even reach the stores, and when they do, they do not supply enough for the retailers to properly keep in stock, everything's always depleted in a rush, and the next shipment takes ages to arrive. This forces people to shop online, and sometimes the prices go way high because outdated products are discontinued from retail so we're forced to succumb to outside merchants. Why can they not keep a solid level of distribution so stores can carry a sufficient number of current merchandise. I don't want Series 8 Minis when we're up to Series 11 now. It's outdated and it's not fair. How do they even keep sales up when they are so slow with their releases?
