Actually, not common in the US, but common at KB as it turns out oddly

do with some legal issues or something? Hence, all the US boxes have piece
counts, other countries don't necessarily.

However, KB seems to get some of its stock from other countries, since I've
managed to swing several European sets, and even several Japanese sets from KB.
(Ok, they could've been Chinese and I would've been none the wiser). At any
rate, it seems that KB gets a good mix of stock from other parts of the globe,
while other retailers like Walmart, Ames, TRU, etc, all seem to get US-only
sets...

Thanks for the info!  IMO, KB is the best place to find ageing and/or sets at a
decent discount.
