If the phrase 'Limited Edition' doesn't mean anything, then why use this moniker at all?...
Oh yes, marketing departments NEVER use phrases like "Limited Edition" or "Special Edition" JUST to sell movies...never...

But back to what I was saying before. I NEVER said that MIB wasn't a Limited Edition. I just said that they don't have to number limited editions in order for them to truly be limited editions.

And as for books, while publishing companies may indicate that a book is a "First Edition", they NEVER number the books. A first edition printing of a book can have 5,000,000 copies made.

Remember that samuelk wrote about his Men In Black set: "...the MIB Limited edition is not numbered, at least not that I can find." - either he didn't look very closely, or the set quite simply is not limited...
Thank you for your faith in my observational skills. But it's not numbered. Does that mean that it's not a Limited Edition? Of course not. If I print ONLY 500 t-shirts with a unique logo on them, and never print them again, then those are "Limited Edition" t-shirts. Do I have to number them? Of course not.
