Wow, I would jump all over that if I could. No stores near me even stock them. Online only purchase for me.

If you have a Sears card; you can purchase things over the phone and pick up later.... BTW. Just to let you know; this may not be the case but towards the beginning of the year.... allot of stock #'s change as the refresh the tool line. Many times, the product remains the same but they change the packaging graphics and part #; that is also a good time to get good deals... as things go on clearance when the new stock comes in. This is also around the time they do inventory; usually feb/march time frame. Just a couple of things I learned when I worked there...

309 pc on sale now, $250
Not the same type of set, the 299pc set is a socket ONLY set. Thanks for the heads up though.

I've often noticed that when Sears 'runs out' of certain items their webpage refuses to show it. It was like that awhile back when I was purchasing some Gladiator cabinets. I had bought some earlier in the day online, then again later that night was perusing their site and the ones I had just bought were now no longer listed. Three days later, they were back up.
This might be a similar situation.

its still there, just "unavailable" to purchase. It does say its in stock so if someone really wanted they could always try placing an order over the phone.

I'm looking for a Craftsman socket set with ONLY 6 point sockets. Does anyone know of one? I didn't see it on their website
it still says temp unavailable but it is back for ordering. I just added a set to my cart.
As far as the 6 points go i believe the best you can do is the individual smaller sets. By the time i added it all together it would of made more sense for me to either wait for a sale on one of the mechanic kits that includes the sockets, or just buy the complete 299pc set. I did the latter.
The only other way to go is the to get the drive modules that include flat panel ratchets

There is a 1/2" but its 12pt for some reason.

just received a "it has shipped notice from sears...."
I just ordered a set yesterday as well. Hopefully there's enough room in my toolbox.
How much did you get it for?
I attempted to order it yesterday myself. Priced at $300.83 with free shipping but plus tax. by the time I got around to checking out the price had gone back up and was going to cost me $370 with tax.
I got it for $321.11 plus tax with free shipping. (plus another 10% off for using my Discover card)

I carry this kit in my truck all the time. I've added a few combo wrenches, some pliers, and some screwdrivers. I love it!
I got mine on sale last Christmas for $99 if I remember right.
