Amazon Product Availability

Many products on amazon are unavailable but a date is given for when they'll be in stock. I've used AWS and got an XML reply but I can't find the date information anywhere. Is it possible to get this information? Thanks.

NOTE: This is what i've got as a request, what should I alter?

A: 

You probably want either PublicationDate or ReleaseDate. You need to be sure that you're requesting a ResponseGroup that has this data in it. ItemAttributes has both, but there may be other groups that include them also.

What response group should it be?

as I mentioned, the "ItemAttributes" group has both elements

ItemAttributes seem to have far less information then what I already use, which is the responsegroup "Large".

Do you think its because of the type of product? Have you ever had a response that gives you the date at which a products going to be back in stock?

this is probably a question better asked at the AWS dev forumshttp://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/forumindex.jspa
