The move is to allocate your first run at 40-50% of early-signal demand (email waitlist, social mentions, retailer pre-orders) and let the shortage drive secondary-market price lift and media coverage. When retailers call for re-stock, decline or extend timeline. The second run ships to a new set of retailers.
