Did anyone get an REI folder this time?

Last March, REI's Novara/Dahon folder, the Buzz FlyBy, sold out in most stores during their annual 20%-off sale, including my local REI. Upon my entreaty, my local store tracked down the last one in stock from elsewhere in the state. I purchased it and made delivery arrangements through a family member to save shipping charges. Bottom line, I got a bargain at $479 but it was hard to nail down. Today, I saw the same Buzz FlyBy in the store, the day after this year's 20%-off sale. They obviously did not sell out this time. Of course, the dismal economy and the $100 higher price tag didn't help, but I'm wondering how many were sold? They are a great value in folders, just as the entire Novara line appear to be, especially when on sale for 20% off. Anyone here get one this year?
