Yep, you got that one right...I haven't seen one in a store for several
months...let alone seeing one on sale. [In fact, I think the last time I saw
one was about Feb this year ! ]
Either LA didn't order many in or there was a small production run in
europe, as even when they were on the shelves I don't recall ever seeing all
that many copies of this set in any store around here.
