No.  And it is driving me crazy.  None of the toy stores in my area
are taking reservations for future shipments.  Heck, they won't even
confirm that there _will_ be future shipments.  Some of the stores don't
even seem to have any idea of what I'm talking about when I ask for it.

It was in my continual search for the Pathfinder Hotwheels set that
the "stealth" caught my eye.

I'm just about desparate enough to pay these kinds of prices, if
I could just find out where to go to pay them.
