Disney Pixar Cars - Mattel's Distribution is Confusing

After two years of collecting, I still don't get Mattel's method of distribution. New Cars come out and it seems like they are scattered all over. For instance, a quick look on Ebay searching for the New Oversized die cast toys, and I see the states of Colorado, Kentucky, New York, Texas, Missouri and Ohio with people selling them. I also found that people in the UK and Australia are selling them. It makes no sense how Mattel distributes these darn toys! It seems to take months for me to find the newest releases here in Orlando. Anyone have any idea about this?


As the ship is chugging along from China, does it chuck a load to the Aussies, then head over to England for some tea? What the heck happens once the ship reaches the United States?! Are they doing random air drops from Barney? Have you seen the Oversized Pixar Cars in your state yet?
