Good Luck! Funny thing is that I've been on a "giant shell" hunt too.
I wasn't as focused as you were and I was looking for the uncooked
shells to do it myself, because I rarely like anything that comes
pre-made in the freezer section.

The biggest bummer is that it seems like no one is selling the giant
(uncooked) shells in the US anymore - I know I saw them in Italy last
year. Looks like you have to do it yourself and use jumbo. I know
Barilla still sells that size, they're listed on the Barilla web site.
