There are only 800 of the spirals made. They put a new topsheet on the KISS anthems that couldnt be sold. The skis were heated up, topsheets taken off, and new ones put on. The skis are still just as durable as before

Problem #1.
You bought skis because they were suppose to be "limited".

of course they are, they're anthems. it really comes down to wich of the 3 graphics options you like this year because they're all the same ski.

how the hell is it a scandal? im pretty sure that Armada only makes like 500 pairs of pipe cleaners and you can still find the original year model. doesnt mean anything if you can still buy them other than they still have pairs of them

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.
