Stuff like that usually has a street date marked on all the boxes recieved. I used to work at KB Toys and we'd have to hold stuff for weeks sometimes before we could put it on the sales floor. If you go in most places and ask them "Whats the street date of the Dark Knight merch" they'll usually tell you unless they're jerks. It's usually 2 weeks before the movies release but being that it's gonna be a huge move they might have pushed that date up to hype the movie more... as if they would need to... is mattel doing those? cuz they look much better than the junk they put out for "Begins"
