Kinda correct. Keep in mind that HASBRO has special liason's stationed in Bentonville Arkansas to serve as product lobbyists to the buyers. They would communicate to them which waves need to be purchased and distributed and why they will drive those numbers. They buyers consistently look at past numbers to predict future demand. Apparently... someone left STOSH alone with the lobbyist and he ordered a lot of the repack waves because the Hasbro liason made a great case for why customers would buy them up. Apparently, the collector is missed in this conversation.
