I bought mine near the end of December at TRU and it did have the
problem.  Hard to say how long stock stays in the distribution channel,
though, so perhaps January is safe.

However, people shouldn't panic and avoid the 8448 on the chance that
they might get an old set and have the problem.  TLG is very good about
replacing parts - especially for something like this where there's a
known problem.  When I called, they knew right away what the problem
was, explained that the parts were redesigned, and promptly sent me two
parts even though I only called to report one of them being broken.

p.s. Any company can provide good customer service when nothing goes
wrong.  The true test is how they respond to problems, and in this
regard I have always been very impressed with TLG.
