Six Million Dollar Man Porta-Communicator Sears Exclusive

The Toys You Had page for Six Million Dollar Man toys lists the Porta-Communicator — and even shows a decent pic! — but there’s no mention at all of the toy being an exclusive at Sears. Odd. Now I’m left wondering why this 1976 newspaper ad identifies the Porta-Communicator as exclusive to Sears. Can anyone help out here?
