Here's the deal on the C&E BB...it has been out of stock on the web for months. I went to my local store and it was also out of stock and on back order. However, they are usually more than happy to call the other stores (not just in your area) and find you one. If your order is something like $70 or more, you get free shipping as well, so I ordered the brush stand and replenished my Sandalwood SC. I got a call in less than an hour from a C&E store in the next state over and the stuff was on my doorstep two days later.
Finding a store with a brush in stock is your only recourse right now, and since C&E is happy to do the legwork, it's no harder than shopping on the internet. So I suggest you call the closest store and if they don't have any in stock ask them to find a store that does. You should be good to go within a few days.
