And no, buying in person isn't a great option, from the 5 stores I looked at (all except one in Budapest btw) where you can get them, two of them don't sell it anymore, and the other two have like 3 models at a giant markup with no accessories (tracker, coin pocket, etc.)

Or even to the US. There's plenty of shitty companies over here I would rather avoid buying from .

I've got mine on https://www.gentlemanstore.hu/kiegeszitok-1/ It wasn't more expensive than buying direct

Meh, the coin thingy is an afterthough which makes the note storage kinda useless (you cant use notes without getting coins back), and the note storage seems to be plastic? And the claim that cards snap in normal wallets is just ridiculous

I have one and can recommend, have seen them on displays in touristy areas (don't mean gift shops) for what seems the same price. Might be worthwhile to search a bit more in Budapest. Understand you prefer to buy online, but can't help you there unfortunately.
