The 1995 Faces set was limited too--they stopped production in January of 1996. I remember seeing leftover copies being sold in bargain bins in blockbuster in 1997 for 1.99 when the SE tapes were about to come out.

Limited time refers to production, not store visibility, because technically you could still buy them in second-hand stores anyway. Even Disney i believe doesn't literally pull them from shelves. Its standard practice that "limited availability" means production is stopped at a certain point, and since this is usually in reference to a relatively high-demand product, it doesn't stick around much longer than that.
