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.

These are the old style reusable cassettes?

No, they’re just current HP5+ and FP4+ in retro styled packaging.

@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.
