Then there is the famous "one last time" promotion for the 'Faces' release before the SEs came about. And I'm sure there have been others. Don't get too excited by a statement saying never again. It doesn't mean anything.

But it really WAS "one last time" when you think about it, because the SEs are not the OUT; until now, the Faces set was the last time we saw the OUT...
