you dont want to be caught with you pants down running out of stock.
By their ann of 2000 stores and now having major companies to back that figure up. Stores will at least get a set of 12 tubes.
So 30,000 - 40,000 tubes need to be manufactured. Could simply be a delay in manufacture that is keeping everything to a halt at the moment.
This initial manufacture is for the first month of sales, there needs to be a major buffer in product quantity which you can double - triple 40,000 tubes.
