Yes, all previous orders were cancelled, but not because of the reason you stated. Hasbro is still releasing the next 2 Marvel Legends lines this fall and 1 line will be a Target Exclusive line and the other will be a Wal-mart exclusive line. There are 2 reasons why Hasbro decided to push them back. The first one is obvious because of they are being distributed and the other reason is because Hasbro did not want to launch the Marvel Legends figures admits the Iron Man movie figures, the Hulk movie figures, the Hulk classic Marvel Legends line and so on. Too many figures released at one time is not a wise business move. The last 2 sets of Icons figures will be released as well, but at this time they are not sure where they will be released, either in retail stores or through Diamond.
