My Costco in San Jose, CA had it. Specifically, it was warehouse #1004, located near I-680 and Hostetter road.

My 10-year-old TravelPro Platinum had been giving me some issues with a stuck handle that's already been repaired once, so I figure the TP can go with the in-laws on their next trip (one-way)...

This location had the bags in the standard luggage aisle, next to the hair dryers and irons. They had about 20 bags on the shelf, not counting any that may be on pallets way up that I didn't spot...

I suspect the economy along with the new smaller size requirements being imposed by the airlines are helping make this deal possible.
