Does RadioShack sell the new Pro Tech Toolkit?

I have been looking at the new Pro Tech Toolkit (With the 64-bit driver kit) for a little bit and I have been weighing my options of a 64-bit driver kit retrofit in the old one, compared to replacing the whole toolkit. I have decided I'm probably just going to get the new Pro Tech Toolkit rather then try and make the new driver kit fit in a toolkit that's likely not going to work. For reference, this is the one I am looking at.

I'm still open to the retrofit, but I have looked at my main reason for not wanting to replace the toolkit, and that is primarily related to the tech knife. I rarely use it, so I really won't miss it enough to worry, but not having it is not going to be a major enough loss to worry about it. However, it is handy to have available in the toolkit, which is why I wasn't sure about giving it up a while back. I figure I can live without it, thinking about it for a little bit.

I'm going to wait for the Chapter 11 dust to settle so I have a better idea for availability and then get it, so I know which stores are safe and which ones are not. I know I can buy it online, but iFixit's shipping is a little high for me. It's fine with me, but I'd prefer to get it locally and save the shipping. I did get the Classic version from RadioShack, so I have a good feeling I'll find the new one there as well.

Is Radio Shack going to sell the new Pro Tech Toolkit, or could that come to a close with this Chapter 11 situation? I'd prefer to know so I have a better idea if it will work out or I'm wasting my time.

We are not offering the New Pro Tech Toolkit through RadioShack. We made the decision awhile ago to end our relationship with them.

It is currently available through iFixit, MicroCenter, ThinkGeek, some GameStop locations, and the iFixit Amazon and eBay stores. It will also be available at Fry's Electronics soon.
