P2 Edge Connector vertical through-hole part no.

I am excited about this P2 Edge concept and designing a product using the P2 edge connector.
I have found the 80-pin right angle micro-bit connector readily available by don't seem to be able to find the through-hole vertical connector.
Is there a part-no I can use to find this : Prefer Mouser or DigiKey or if parallax is reselling.
Thanks

I could post the datasheet links later if that's any help.

OK I see the parallax #part no's. This is a future product I suppose. I don't mind buying from parallax but if there was a alt-supplier like mouser would also be useful.
I want to assembly a prototype ASAP so I hope will be available from parallax soon.
Enjoy!

They're not cheap.
Ouch.. I was expecting something more in line with the micro-bit right-angle connector which is $<2 from spark-fun and others. I hope the parallax version will sell for more like that ( ~$2 ) otherwise I will have to rethink this..
Seems you missed the news.... but it's been stated a few times in various places that Parallax will have BOTH the connectors in the new store, and will be priced low for customers, similar to the $2 estimate on singles.
They are already in stock, so if there is an urgent need you could PM me your requirements and I can connect you with a solution. It's just not been possible to get them on the old webstore whilst that's being retired/converted.
The new webstore is coming 2nd or 3rd week of November by current schedule. Where you will be able to order many new parts, including P2 Edge module, both vertical and right-angle connectors and 3 types of breakout or adapter modules, 64018, 64019 and the JonnyMac breadboard 64020. There's also the mikroBus click adapter 64008 and WX Wifi adapter 64007 too- all ready in stock for the new site!
Now we just hope Ken can keep himself from distraction to help push that project to completion ASAP! Go Go Ken!
Apologies for attempting to answer my own question... the thread forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1508583/#Comment_1508583 may imply this board availability mid-November.
If you don't want to wait, you can order them by calling in and providing the part numbers:
450-00310 80-pin Edge Connector Socket, Straight
450-00308 80-pin Edge Connector Socket, Right-Angle
I've posted the datasheets on the P2 Live Forum chat logs several times. Maybe somebody can find them and post them here, or PM me if not easily located. I'm just a bit busy this morning.

I've been on the fence about using the edge module versus my own layout...
But, the SMT connector in the store, may have just made me want to start using it:

That surface-mount connector makes it much easier to route a PCB than the through-hole version does.
