Unimate coupler status?

Medium and long shank nowhere to be found...
Intermountain website says in stock contact your dealer, but from Walthers to all my usual online retailers, they all say out of stock.  Is it just that my timing is off, or has this product line fallen off the map?

Modeltrainstuff.com had some.  I don't remember whether it was short or medium.  I suspect it was medium or I may have picked up some.  I think they are also listed under the new owner which is ?

Just looked and it's short that they have and they are under Red Caboose brand, the new owner of the design.

And Red Caboose is now owned by Fox Valley - there's a picture on their FB page showing the new packaging...

Thanks Wolf!

Order confirmed.     :)
I knew that is the go-to for speakers, but had no idea so much more to offer.
Was worried I would have to go to MT couplers to continue work on my forthcoming Coast Starlight project(s)... much better solution since these trains will never be switched on the layout.
