The time limited aspect means items in the real world are gone forever, too. They'll make a limited run of those collector's editions, charge more for them, and then once they're sold out, not offer them any more.

Sometimes they're also limited by only being available at a specific store, such as Gamestop. Sometimes they're limited by the physical item that was produced, like the Shiva statue and the attached Diamond Dust emote. (At least they did a re-release of that figure, but it was straight up out of stock for years, and is now out of stock again.)
