I still have to side with LFL--"limited time until [insert date here]" is a common marketing gimmick, and it never means that literally all copies will be forcibly yanked from shelves after that date. It just means that production will cease, thus it is limited to that date. Disney does it all the time, for example, and in virtually every "limited time" sale it just means that no new copies will be produced after that date. With regards to Faces and the OOT, I have to side with LFL in the best-intentions motive, in that I truely believe that Lucas intended that they never be sold again, simply because that is what he wanted, and what he tried to do. That ad campaign ended up being inaccurate due to the 2006 release but that was unplanned, in effect we sort of forced their hand--had they been the ones to decide things they would have stayed true to their word. So, although technically they were in hindsight inaccurate, I still believe they were being honest, and thank god it didn't turn out to be true.

After the 2006 OOT release, their previous sales model was effectively destroyed--and I think they may have at least considered that suppressing the OOT forever was not a realistic option. I think that Lucas honestly believed that no one would ever want to bother with the OOT after the SE came out. But since all the backlash I think LFL realised that not only is there a market for the original, but that it represents a treasured classic that is in some ways bigger than them, ie all the bootlegs and fan-rips. Thats why I am 100% certain that it'll be released again, sometime, in higher quality--the sales model of 1995 is undone, and that means it has been reversed. But because of the percieved-rarity of the OOT they aren't outright admitting this--and I think this is wise, because with LFL things are never certain so they don't want to make any promises--so instead of saying "now its REALLY the last time" they are instead saying "this is a limited release."
