Yet FBTB has a posting saying Lego said it was discontinued:

Has anyone else had a confirmation of this?

Besides KB Toys, where else can you pick up this excellent tub? I got my
single tub at Boscov's (Media, PA) but it has not resurfaced there.

It was a very limited-release product...I think the going theory is that Lego
was trying to get rid of excess inventory, hence the bizarre (yet wonderful)
blend of odd parts, a lot of them one or two per tub.  S@H received only a few,
and had the 4400 up for sale for maybe one day...it was quickly marked as
discontinued.  Boscov's received only a few as well, and sold out quickly.  And
I've NEVER seen it at any store in Austin, Texas.  So if you see it for $22 and
really want it, get it...you won't find it cheaper at this point, especially on
Bricklink/Ebay.
