Things don't look good for Grotusque...
It cant be an ordering issue since its a TRU exclusive at this point. Its like when people worried about Walgreens not ordering enough of Brainstorm or the upcoming clones, it all goes to one retailer. So you arent ordering how much you want of something you are option for selling that particular product and stocking it. Hasbro cant have any left, everything will go to the retailer.
It could be that instead, this is all thats left, that would make more sense. Especially since there were a few goes at this figure and Toysrus ends up being the second retailer to get this.
And it wouldnt be about bankruptcy since the Toysrus doesnt pay upfront on orders and its more the sellers who were iffy about supplying TRU with Product, not TRU being iffy about ordering (TRU has nothing to lose at this point, their sellers do). And Hasbro had confirmed that they were doing business as usual so it wouldnt be that.
The fact that any american can stil currently preorder her right now at TRU (and that some who got this message did do this) points to this being simply a digital logistics issue with payment methods and nothing more.
