With apologies to Rod Serling, presented for your consideration... Please keep in mind the phrase: "Don't shoot the messenger"!

I know of a recent purchase of a retired 2002 Christmas piece limited to 7,500, on sale in the current catalog. Its' numbered in the mid-3,400's.

Since the question of stock and space has been raised, among other points, I thought it was worth mentioning this little nugget of information.
