Most toy manufacturers don't practice "just in time" delivery to the retail channel for product launches. Instead, they start shipping the product to retail and wholesale outlets 1-2 weeks prior to launch, and tell the reseller not to sell it until such and such a date.
TT has been getting more strict about the sell date and advertising date, which is why Death Quetz didn't even get advertised for pre-sale on eBay until this week.
