The metal master castings (produced from the original master moulds) 
can be re-used to make almost endless number of replacement 
production moulds - the question is, as the current set of production 
moulds wear out, are future sales of the old designs going to warrant 
the time and expense of making new replacement production moulds for 
them, or do we just let them go quietly OOP?
So it's not a question of whether we CAN replace worn-out moulds 
(yes, we can) it's whether it is commercially viable to do so now 
that all the new designs are out.
