They got a cease and desist didn't they?
Toho has to legally approve everything on the disc. They didn't approve of everything on DAM so the disc was discontinued and pulled from the shelves. They won't be able to do another release of Megalon for BD or anything else without Tohos approval.
Just because MB got the rights to release the film doesn't mean they can do whatever they want to with it. They still have to meet Toho's ultra-strict guidelines, which they've failed to do twice. If they put out Megalon on BD without Toho's permission, it will be an unauthorized release and they would surely be sued into non-existence.
Toho only gave them clearance to put out a bare bones DVD.
