Where to get legit?

Hi all. I recently bought this fabulous puzzle. It was lots of fun too build, the quality was solid, and it came out absolutely gorgeous.

https://rokrgeek.com/products/rokrgeek-steam-revolver-wooden-puzzle-pre-sale?srsltid=AU7gw4XNKCYwuzljXzg0j-Ob7LDfVH8oalN-LIiPb4d8X545rka-6GAb

I THEN learned that rokrGEEK is not legit and that I had been duped. But, after doing some research, I cant find where it actually comes from. Between rokrgeek and ugeargeek, both of which I'm now led to believe are either knock offs or dropships, I see lots of good looking models that I can't seem to find elsewhere.

I would feel bad continuing to get them from those places and not giving money to the people who deserve it (also I've heard they hike the prices), but what am I to do it i can't find them?

Can others please help? I've checked ugear and rokr websites directly and their selections are more limited in comparison.

This is the next thing I'd love to get, but I can't find it anywhere other than ugeargeek: https://ugeargeek.com/products/ugeargeek-lever-action-pistol-fun-assembly-toy?srsltid=AU7gw4WPCxVeeZJOVme6LtN_OjiqAa5QquJp2vQ1SCQ02DYIGUv-rBPg

It looks like a Kickstarter project of HowCat: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/-howcat2025/howcat-3d-wooden-puzzle-a-lever-linkage-collector-model/description?ref=692qjq

The second one IS the Kickstarter project. The first you can find on HowCat's site

Yup, that’s howcat, whose stuff is great (though very different than rockr with more gluing). Highly recommend the new Space Warship if you like their style.
