They began production on the Archive line. Retailers did not order as expected, and possibly even canceled orders, leaving all these completed, painted figures sitting in some factory somewhere.
They immediately stopped printing Archive cards, and decided to print new RotJ cards for this huge pile of unsold Landos and Palpatines.
That does make a lot of sense. Theres landos and Palpatines for miles at my local targets and Walmarts so thats very likely

A Kenner homage and no throne.
Such a bummer: I was planning on getting all the RotJ carded figures, but these and Carbonized are easy passes
