If these titles were made available at Best Buy, WalMart, Barnes & Noble, Amzon etc. they's probable sell 10 or 20 times the number of copies than when limited to such a small number. Why does this happen?? Thanks

This arrangement supposedly works out best for both Twilight Time and it's licensors (namely their accountants) in that Twilight Time licenses a set number of copies for a flat fee upfront.
