The 700R is indeed a ghost in the US market. I believe qtan has mentioned that he may start selling them once they are available in Taiwan. Other than waiting on that you would have to proxy from Korea or Australia. Not sure if Japan has them.
Also you can try ordering from leopold.co.kr. I believe they do ship internationally [I had somebody walk me through this once], but it is a bit difficult to navigate their site. Last time I confirmed international orders from them was maybe sometime in February so I'm not sure if that still applies.
The 700R is a great board if you don't mind the one-off spacebar so customization is limited.
Anyway, welcome to Geekhack!
