Fog and Vintage Rose bands no longer available?

Green sport band is unavailable on apple.com or in apple stores. Black leather loop has been unavailable on apple.com or in apple stores for a few months as well.

What's going on?

There's definitely an issue with bands.

I was going to get the royal blue back when it launched but hesitated. Shipping time quickly increased to a few weeks, so I was going to wait until I could just walk into a store and order one, or have it be available within 24 hours online.

Low and behold, it never showed up in stores, and now is unavailable online.

Interestingly today the "unavailable" status has been updated to "sold out".

A LOT of bands have been unavailable/sold out for weeks now. Very strange and surely very costly to Apple - you can't even buy a silver link bracelet for example!

Went to my local Apple Store, and I was able to snag the last Royal Blue sportsband. The guy who helped me told me that he didn't even know they had any, and he just happened to find the last one in the back. And while I was browsing around, I found a Lavendar sportsband hiding behind a Stone sportsband! From what it looks like on Apple.com, Lavendar is completely 'Sold Out' and not even available for Store Pick-up. Wonder what's going on with some of these colors.
