Anyone gotten ahold of Ilford's retro/throwback HP5+ and FP4+ cassettes?

My two local camera stores have the HP5+ in stock with the cool limited edition packaging. I'm going to snag a few rolls so I have those cassettes in the rotation (I bulk load my HP5+).

Nobody anywhere near me has the FP4+. I've checked B&H, the FPP store, eBay, Amazon, etc. but can't find it. Anyone been able to pick some up? Maybe I should go post on classifieds and see if I can get a few rolls haha.

Mind if I ask which two local stores have it?

Edit: Ha, opened Instagram after posting this and the top post on my feed is from Essential Photo Supply announcing that they have it.

@armadsen For me it's Allen's Camera and the FIND lab.

@Chuck1 Nah, same cassette construction as they use for their normal packaging, I assume. It's just a retro-styled graphic on the cassette, inspired by like 1950s-era FP3 and HP4. I will be reusing them, but I just leave a ~1" tongue sticking out and tape bulk loader film onto that so I don't have to worry about opening the cassettes and damaging or bending them.
