Hey Andrew,
You might be happy to hear that there may be plenty of these to go around. I
thought I had bought out my local TRU store a few days ago. Today I go by and
they put out another dozen of these sets. It appeared that they had just gotten
in another shipment along with other items. I was under the impression that
they would be a limited supply, but I guess there are more available than that.
Anyway, good hunting...
Tom
