eBay is the only place that comes to mind...looks like a pretty rare puzzle too so it may not even be there....

Mitchell (the brain puzzle UWR holder) is a friend of mine. He told me that you can find Brain Puzzles here:

For his UWR, he got all of the pegs out and put them back in.
He also said, "I hope that if someone buys this puzzle, they will give me some competition

Here is how Mitchell explains the solution:
"There are 2 ways to look at it. The first way is: to get a peg out, the one before it must be out, and the rest before that must be in. For example, if you want to get peg #5 out, peg #4 has to be out, and peg #1, #2, and #3 must be in. The other way is: every 2nd peg is peg #1, every 4th peg is peg #2, every 8th peg is peg #3, every 16th peg is peg #4, etc.
The sequence is 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 5 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 6 1 2 1 etc. You should be able to figure the rest out yourself. To get the pegs in, it is just the reverse of the sequence.
If you have any questions about my solution, please email me at stern.mitchell[at]gmail[dot]com"

Thanks Harris. Just went to order one, but they want my CC #. I wrote them and asked if they accept paypal. I am not going to give them my CC #.
Mine just came in, looks interesting.
Very addicting. Best is at 44 seconds, I can average just over 1 minute. You guys should try these...
