Well, they did just produce special minifig packs for both themes.
That's what I was wondering
If the theme's have been cancelled, why the new minifig packs?  Maybe there
were going to be new additions (sets) to the themes, and the themes were

screwed up the Ninja theme's mythology, and the Wild West's for that matter.
It would make sense that TLG is clearing out the already produced pieces for
these cancelled themes while they still can. They can re-use the bricks, but
green ninja's?, the only way to re-use those would be to throw them back into
the the smelter. These are questions that will probably never be answered so
let's speculate!  JOn
