It is only a scandal if you buy into the idea that they are "limited extra super special" and purchase them for that reason alone. Then, yes you were scammed into buying a product that is more expensive based on the fact that you thought supply was limited, when in reality it really isn't.
However, if you buy them because they are a sick ski (which they are) with sick graphics then it is all good, assuming you don't mind spending extra money for skis that just had a different topsheet slapped on.
