I've seen this question before (from New Zealand), and I think I now
the answer :-( , but I phrase it once again (now from Sweden):

If you live in a country where Commodore doesn't think that Amiga
developers can be brought up, where Commodore support (and even
Commodore) hardly exist aso... - is it possible to buy a developers
3000UX from Commodore in US or Germany (for instance)?

I've not bothered to ask Commodore Sweden (which btw has been taken
over by Norway) any difficult questions the last year or so, since
they don't even understand the easy questions...

They decided not to import/support things like A2620/A2630, not to
sell hard disk controllers without hard disk... so why should they
import A3000UX and sell to developers? (they sell at least normal
A3000's, but not very cheap)
