Unfortunately, when Target went belly-up a lot of artwork, new sculpts and molds were stolen. From what I heard, the property was trying to be "ransomed" back to EE and Paradox who were the rightful owners. Paradox did try to step in but was unable to gain any ground.
Many times different artwork or models would crop up on e-bay or on a website(IE first post) and was met with a cease and desist letter and a demand to return 'em. I guess EE's demands weren't really met though.
It is sickening that they would do something like this though, try and sell off the stuff while everyone is distracted with the license up for grabs.
