Ban is not end of the world, but for example in Slovakia we have no official Lego Store (even SaH not send to us - I have to use Czech address), or Wallmart, or TRU, Targer, ToysRUs or anything else with good deal opportunities. Just ebay and amazon with very expensive post costs.
So, not to be banned in SaH is important in Slovakia when you want to trade with Lego.
Its a shame for Lego I thing.
