Well Joe, I think Alain handed over his items to e-on (Cornucopia3D) as a starting stock when the store there started. They are retextured so there is an additional value to them.

Vanishing Point got obviously the rights on the Taschen items and sells them now at Cpornucopia3D. What he does is to convert the models to Vue and sell them as vob files at Cornucopia3D and here at Renderosity. And probably at other places too.
