Dude.....so not true.
99.9% of all the reps originate from Asia (China, Thailand, Korea etc.). I have been buying reps for years now and all the reps that are available to our friends in US/Europe/Oz etc. are available here in Asia as well. I do not know of any major dealer who does not ship to SEA (other than some UK/CONUS based dealers....where it wouldn't make sense to buy from them).
btw...which 3rd world country are you in?
Cheers
