I haven't but I was at Purvis last Sunday (also large range) and they had a few epics but no mayhem. I'll keep my eye out though.
 
as good a place to post this info.

finally got a response from a supplier in NZ about riwaka hop availability "no sorry, there is none for homebrewers again this year".

so there may be absolutely none available or a lucky few retailers may get some, but certainly likely to be very limited and not available in bulk.
 
I got around to brewing the recipe, but without Riwaka, so had this bright idea to use galaxy instead, then I had to adjust the hopping a bit and dry hopped with cascade only. Looks a little like this.

Got the keg into the fridge last night and I'm pretty pleased with it, a lovely resinous character, great aroma and nice balance. Maybe not a clone, but damn nice all the same.
