The current availability of older discontinued sets in limited
quantities is due to the reorganisation of TLG in Europe, I believe.
Some warehouses are closing, or changing location, so the few boxes of
stuff at the back, which weren't worth marketing, have come to light,
and need to be disposed of.
This will be a one off bonanza, so make the most of it :-)
