Where to buy a Hamster Heaven cage?

Does anyone know where you can buy this in the US? On Amazon just the shipping is over $100, it's insane. I'd like to buy this cage for my Syrian, but it's just too much when you ship it from the UK. :(

Update:

I have a 20 gallon long tank right now, and what I really want is a cage like the Hamster Heaven, because I feel it suits my hamster best. He needs a lot of places to go and hide under, because he's really friendly but kind of shy. (I didn't hand-tame him for the cage, which in hindsight was probably a mistake, because now I can grab him with no problem, but if I try to get him to climb on my hand he'll hide. He's much too large and smart to get him to climb onto my hand for a treat- he'll walk around my hand once he's sure the treat is there, and find the place where he has to put at most one paw on my hand to reach the treat.)

If I were to make a bin cage it would be the IKEA SAMLA bin, largest size, but I just don't feel like that's something I can do and feel safe keeping my hamster in it. I'm not the sort of person who has any ability to make things like that.

The Detolf is awesome; and I've looked at it before, but I'll consider it agai

Update 2:

n. The problem is that it's so heavy and requires modification- two things I'd rather do without. I wish US cages were better. :(

Update 3:

He's a pretty big hamster... how large are the Crittertrail connectors?

Update 4:

I've also heard terrible things about Crittertrail cages... can you tell me from experience if these are good?

Update 5:

I've seen them on Ebay, but only in the UK, which isn't very helpful.

Thanks! I'll look into the Crittertrail cages.

    I did a search and I couldn't find anything. How about a bin cage? You can see pics of some awesome bin cages here

    Or another option is an ikea detolf cage however its kinda like a tank where its hard to move around but it is a nice large cage

    EDIT: Yeah is sucks that hamster cages here are tiny. Would attaching several critter trails be an option for you? The discovery deluxe is probably the largest. If you attach 2 you meet minimum cage size so for a nice sized cage you can attach 3 or more.

    EDIT: Before I knew better I kept hamsters in single tiny critter trails. My only complaint is they are a pain to clean. They break down into way too many pieces. Other than that if you get a few and connect them they are ok cages. It actually looks like you can clean the discovery deluxe without taking it apart. The door looks big enough.

    As far as tube/connector size I never had an issue with any of my syrians.
