Show pictures of the parts in their own facility. Take responsibility if there any damages. These lights are going to come out. We have waited this long. Let's wait a little longer.
I'm already seeing ads on IG and vendors in UK and Australia are already reselling them at around $1100.

Some things are worth jumping on early, and IMO, these are one of them.

The aliexpress seller (JIA YI?) seems to be working with or are the same as the people who are actually manufacturing them. He says after this first batch, it's going to be a LONG time before they make any more.

Could be a sale tactic and it worked on me. Could I possibly save like $200 in half a year? Maybe. I'd pay $200 to get these in 2 weeks instead of possibly 1 year.
I've waited way too long for this to miss out on a possibly one time batch.

And about the links no longer working, that's really weird. I changed my location from Canada and US and I got the error message as well. I wonder why.
This one still works though: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002633727331.html
So this link does look like the guy is selling it. I went back and forth with him and he said he has 100 sets. Only downside is the 40 day sea shipping wait time.

I'm not vouching for him. But everyone can do their own research and buy. I'm going to wait it out at the moment.
