Is Mattel Dumbing Down Things With Revolution?

I am currently on vacation in the states but while our stores (none of them) and we have several of each have had any of the Ryan, mike, treasure Thomas, etc.. I found them at a Walmart. I had already purchased from Amazon, but they were $13.97 each. I also found Connor and Catlin for $13.97 each. Seems like different stores still have various different stock. A few weeks back I found the older trackmaster talking Toby. I did see the Railway builder set out for TMR.
