What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?

Aren't the DCUC selling well at Walmarts and Targets and TRU? How can DC sell 6 inch figures at retail, but Marvel can't? Explain that to me, Lars.

Mattel is willing to up the MSRP, Hasbro wasn't. Also DCUC distribution is not great.

Because Mattel's online exclusives two-packs failed.

but matty collector is FULLL of online exclusives.... like he-man and ghostbusters... and those do well. also none of the marvel legends online sales have failed... so that's a dumbass reasoning.

MOTUC and Ghostbusters have small production runs. That Mattel has designed to sell through quick. DCUC two-packs failed because Mattel though that there was enough demand (being DC) for much larger runs than the Ghostbusters and MOTUC get. They were wrong. And the longer DCUC packs sat in the warehouse the more it cost Mattel.

so why couldn't the legends be a smaller run? and that still explains nothing about hasbro's reasonings.. consider all there online stuff has sold well.
