Why is it that at least one of the seekers is always a poorly stocked retailer exclusive?

Why is always a retailer known for damaged goods/ not being able to ship products/ have products in the first place? Target and Walmart are terrible for this but because they have money Hasbro gives them what they want despite upsetting buyers.
 
>Figure was supposed to come out in February
>A mis-assembly preventing transformation is found to affect every copy
>Recall every copy sent out
>Delay estimated release date until August
>Cancel it entirely

How do you fuck up retooling a figure this badly?

It was likely cheaper to cancel it entirely then fixing whatever mis-assembly issue the figure had.

Mark my words the cancelled items will eventually show up on nightmare scalper listings like that one helicopter technic lego set did that was also cancelled last second before release years before this became bizarrely common.
 
damn, i was putting off buying the hasbro release because of it, now i need to get to it before prices go up.
