Oh the folks in the stores can find out. But practically speaking, it's not
worth their time. Because, well, you're going to buy them regardless of when
they hit the shelf, right? So unless you know someone, or can convince
someone, to hunt down the information, it's going to stay a guess. I'm not
stunningly worried about it, myself. It's not like they're going to be hard
to find, neh?
