Well, it's not "crazy". A company can produce whatever they want, whenever they want, however, I'll admit that 100,000 of anything to the modelling hobby is pretty high. In my line of work, that's called a PFO ("Please f*** off") quote. In other words, they don't want to do it at all, but if someone wants it bad enough to come up with enough money, they can be convinced to do it.

If the decals you are talking about are the dry transfer type, they may be right about the shelf life, so even if you find some, they may not be usable. Beware!
