I think the reason there's no toyline comes from the fact that a lot of major movies have had toylines that flopped. Dark of the Moon did not do very well at all as far as TF toys go. Avatar, one of the most successful movies in the world was a miserable failier as a toyline. Hell, even Star Wars is currently floundering.
Thor, Captain America both successful movies with toylines that performed miserably. Pirates of the Caribbean as well.
No need to get into the movies that were complete box office flops with toylines that were complete flops. (Green Lantern, and the afore mentioned Tron)

Except it's completely not. The Princess of Mars predates Avatar by nearly a century.
John Carter at one time was going to be the world's first feature length animated movie, predating Snow White by a few years. (Except studio executives backed out just before it went into full production believing no one in their right minds would want to watch a movie set on an alien planet)
While I could be wrong on this part, I don't think Disney making a John Carter movie is anything new, either. I think they've had the lisence and been developing this for a fair few years now, too.
The Princess of Mars has quite a history to it. The commercials that say "Before Avatar, Before Star Wars" are well within their rights.
Kinda like saying Lord of the Rings is a Generic Dragonlance.
