I understand it and I think their new schedule makes sense provided where things are right now, and where they were in production, post production and casting of the movies. Actually my biggest surprise is that they didn't move Black Widow to July 3rd, but I guess they're not confident that the virus will be contained enough by then and that movie goers will be comfortable to go to theaters again in large numbers.

As far as the release schedule I think they'll obviously shift movie waves to whatever the new releases are. Black Widow of course, a little too late for that. So whereas we might have seen Eternals product in Sept/Oct, we might see it in Dec/Jan number.

I am really hoping Hasbro just delays stuff and doesn't cancel anything. The AoA wave should be fine, but I am a little worried about Nimrod and the Strong Guy wave. I do doubt that they will cancel stuff that has been revealed, but who knows what they had planned that we may never see.

I don't think anything will be outright cancelled at this point. I think there will be a 3-6 month delay in stuff though. Of course, that's just taking into account we (the US) are mostly recovering from the virusby end of May at latest. The situation is fluid, and yeah, if it got bad enough, it could greatly affect the toy industry. But I don't think we're there yet, for a permanent time.

I also think that Marvel Legends is one of Hasbro's bigger lines, even if you couldn't tell that by looking at some brick and mortar stores. I think rather than cut away at their bigger money makers, they'll willow the smaller lines even further. With the Star Wars movies now done (for now) they may well really cut back into that. Marvel's reached a level of name recognition that Star Wars had 20 years ago, if not more. I think it's safe.

So yeah, we'll see everything that's been shown and more, it just may be we don't see some of it until next year. Case in point. I think they were definitely alluding to and planning for a second A0A wave. It won't be the 25th anniversary next year, but my guess is they'll still have a wave for that. Too many big names missing not to.
