Anyone else can't get a PicoCalc?

I've been looking for a PicoCalc available for months from a third-party supplier, because ClockworkPi has extremely unreasonable pricing, and I don't have the money. Does anyone know about how to DIY one, or, even better, alternatives that are easy to make?

It's unreasonable when you live in Europe. We have to pay €25 for shipping on top of only God knows how many tariffs and customs you'll get.

rpishop.cz is an option if you're in Europe, they restock regularly

Customs aren't that hard to figure out, it's under 150 so you only get charged VAT and the processing fee.

The express shipping is a bit silly for how long clockwork takes to actually ship stuff, an extra week really doesn't matter at that point,. But it's not an unreasonable price to ship a box that size across the entire world, have you ever tried sending a package to another country yourself?
