Hobbit Gift Bundle Released — TCGplayer Still Shows Presale

The Hobbit Gift Bundle officially releases today, but TCGplayer is still showing both released and presale states for the same product. Current references cluster around the low-to-mid $160s while near-MSRP retail stock is limited or unavailable, so the first job is resolving what is actually in hand rather than treating every displayed price as equivalent.
