I get information from a number of sources. Some of it so ludicrous, it can't possibly be true. That said, nothing in life should be a surprise, so expect the unexpected.
When you look at the number of stores each of the main retailers have, coupled to a bit of detective work here and there (not taking no for an answer and hassling customer service staff), you can probably work the figures out fairly accurately anyway!
Some stores, like Wilkinsons were remarkably open in the number of cases ordered and when and where they were going. They went and spoilt it by ordering 964 US case 999F last November! That's an additional 4,820 Finns unleashed on the UK populus!
I'm sure Mattel will release what they want to, so posting stuff like this makes no difference whatsoever. Sure, it could scupper advance information, but that is hit and miss at the best of times.
Much of this information is freely available in the US. Met on T5AD regularly posts this sort of information and there is no come back, so if Mattel UK objects, that reflects badly on them!
