Two notes here, neither is encouraging:
a) Last week I asked my local guy (who has a pretty good Internet storefront) about these. He feigned ignorance, claimed he never heard of them. This, from a guy who seems to have a pretty good stock of Ashtons/Fuentes (most lines) most of the time. Suspicious mind that I am, I suspect he's going to get only one box that will never see the light of day on the shelves.
b) I received an email solictitation from an "importer" who offered to take my credit card info in order to reserve no more than two of these, whenever they arrive, at a price he "estimates" at between $15--$30.
(Sigh)
