You missed them for a while! I originally got them there about 3 years ago. I bought two cartons of 10 when they first showed up on sale for $39 per carton.

Well i got
2-T12 Gro-Lux wide spectrum
2-T8 Day Light 6500K on either side of the T12 fixture
2-T8 Sky White XP 8000K on the outside 2 bulbs
 
The Sky White is noticeably more blue but hard to capture on camera.
 
Top is the 8000K, bottom is the 6500K. Both Sylvania Octron bulbs

 
Left is the 8000K

 
Far right is the 8000K
