Estimated Stock Arrival for 16x2 LCD kit for RPi

[justinification]

Hi there, I'm waiting to purchase this item but notice that it's been out of stock for a few days:

Adafruit RGB Negative 16x2 LCD+Keypad Kit for Raspberry Pi -
ID: 1110
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1110

I know the site says it'll be restocked within 5-10 work days, but given the Thanksgiving break I was hoping to know if a better estimate on the arrival date could be given? Got a couple other stuff in the shopping basket on hold waiting for this to arrive, and the suspense is killing me!

Also, just to check. This kit does come with the 16x2 screen right? In the description it says the display is not included, but in technical details it says it is. Hmmm.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure the admins can weigh in on this, but I'm pretty sure that it's actually a brand new item that is not yet in stock for the first time.
