Something about the initial wave of people buying the figures would give them a false sense of demand and that only if they get the next wave will they have a chance of keeping that demand high.

Makes sense.
Sure does, GP. It's a vicious cycle: Excessive/old stock on shelves, slow sales, no new lines. Lots of other factors involved behind the scenes too.
Ultimately, they're sitting on the stock & if the majors don't change their attitudes towards product turnover, be it TF or any other lines, we'll see a lot more waves being skipped.
