I also just spoke to both "Aftermarket" and "R&D" departments at ThreeBond and confirmed that the Lot Number includes a year code (second and third digits) and shelf-life is six months (contrary to "Bob at Elmhurst")
The moral of story is to check the stamp on the tube inside the box before you pay at the dealer since Toyota Parts Departments aren't knowledgeable in this specific product and as a result are happy to sell you an expired product.
I'll attempt to make ground with Toyota Corporate Customer Service and will also follow up here with the ThreeBond-recommended distributor that won't sell you expired product.
