The only reason I use Retired and Limited Edition in my comments is I'm trying to look at it from the company's point of view. On the web site, they list the once-in-starters-but-no-longer as Retired and don't mark what I'd call Limited Edition. The problem is once "retired" entered the vernacular, it started being applied to any trait no longer available, including those which were only in limited release: hence my term Limited Edition. You're correct, though, what we really need is a set of terms which more accurately describe it from the customer's point of view.
Ah I understand you would like a distinction between for example retired Gerbera eyes and porcelain shade related the the Easter 2011 Ltd and for example the recently retired mocha eyes?
If this is what you mean I can see your point in this and I agree if at all possible the term for specific and exclusive related traits to a certain Ltd should preferable have a different term.
But honestly I can't think of a word
