Odd question but ... old formula Lancome foundation

I really used to love the old formula for Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra (I think it was called 14 hr). It went on really well and looked amazing in photos (which is amazing really as my skin is terrible).
Anyway, they discontinued it and brought out a new version - the 24 hr - which has more spf, feels oilier and is ok but gets greasier and looks shiny in photos and is just nowhere near as good.
So my question is - does anyone know where you can buy discontinued makeup? I mean they must do something with it right? I'm currently on Ebay, having a search, nothing in the colour I want though (01).

No idea, but if you find some please tell me!
They discontinued my colour at the same time, and nothing in the new range matches as well.

Sometimes I want to strangle manufacturers.

So annoying isnt it Haveafestive?
I know they have had a lot of negative feedback on their website, so hopefully Lancome brings back the old stuff ... in the meantime I've contacted a whole lot of suppliers to see if they have any in old stock!

Annoying! Keep checking ebooo. Someone has just listed your colour!

It used to be quite easy to get discontinued stuff, now not so much.
