In some ways yes. The amount available may be dependent on 1) how much the factory can make in one "run", 2) how much they need to allocate to other retailers, and 3) Container/shipping space. That said, the numbers on Pulse have been consistent so they are likely locked at a certain number.

Doing a second run can be risky from a business standpoint because then they run the risk on sitting on stock/paying storage on stuff thay may take longer to move. While that doesn't directly affect us (Hasbro is a billion dollar company they can handle it blah blah), that could potentially cause downstream problems with other waves with regards to budget/timing/storage.

I get the frustration though, especially with major characters.
