Atill its sucks cause i now will never get any of those tru sets and i sure as shit am not gonna pay scalper prices.

Hasbro and Mattel will eventually be ok. They can shift their main line exclusives as needed. But it's the second and third tier companies that will really lose out. Companies like NECA and Mezco come to mind, as their product is offered in very limited quantities (or not at all) in most retail locations outside of Toys R Us. Neither Target or Walmart carry niche licenses that don't have a direct connection to something popular now.
