Distribution and Licensing
Distribution was not limited to the USA. Mattel produced international versions of the VertiBird playset for the various markets including Canada, Brazil, the UK, Germany, and Italy. Just when it seems the final international VertiBird version has been found, another is reported. To date it is unknown just how many markets and languages Mattel distributed the VertiBird into. The most recent "new" variant to surface is a Mexican version of the "Polar Adventure" set, offered on eBay in mid-November 2008.
Mattel also licensed the VertiBird for production by other companies. At least two are known (see list below).

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
