I dont think its oversold as almost all of the prior dc figures are available for less th as than MSRP. Su poo German is down to $16. I could Amazon cutting the amount they order, but not for the pre orders they know they'll get full price for.
I dont think its coronavirus or the HK protests either. They still have active pre orders for the Robocop stuff.
And as was noted BBTS and EE both have pre orders active.
I see multiple possibilities:
1. The change of license impacted zHiya as well. But they'd have to be pretty stupid to have scheduled releases after the expiration date.
2. Significant delays due to a factory switch after the Supergirl/WW quake as little control issues. (Pure speculation)
3. Amazon wasn't getting priority over other sites. I know I preorder everywhere and whoever's gets here first wins everyone else gets cancelled.
4. Amazon is fed up with constant time to market delays. Hiya is pretty bad with that overall. With the APC they were over two years late right?
5. Some of the alien and predator figures were delayed because they didnt have much in assets and needed to have the DC line be a success increase cash flow. (This was a hiya statement in their FB page.
Really I dont advocate for any of these. So far it's just Amazon. Hopefully we get the figures, if not from Anazon than from BBTS or EE. But I'm not betting on seeing more DC from Hiya at Toy fair.

The fact that previous figures apparently didn't sell well or were over-produced (as evidenced by them dropping below $19.99) is reason enough for Hiya to cut production and/or Amazon to cut their order quantities on future figures.

But, yeah, we don't know. It's all speculation. All I really know is, mine hasn't been cancelled yet. I got an email from Amazon the preorder was up, so I'm assuming I placed my order near the time they became available. A couple of other things that may explain mine not being cancelled yet: I'm not a Prime member and I ordered something else along with the pre-order for Black Canary in order to get free shipping. Amazon delivered that other item long ago, so maybe they're reticent to cancel mine because of that. I dunno...
