Just wanted to note that the US version is back in stock at HobbyKing:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=19240

I figure I'll give it a try for about $15, but wanted to let others know in case they were interested.

All this information on these soldering iron's is really good to know .. I just ordered a Hakko fx 888 early this morning .. Gonna repair my girlfriends TurboExpress .. I already repaired mine, bad capacitors of course .. I was just wondering what's a safe temperature to set my iron on ?? I lifted a few pads on my Express because I was using a cheap soldering iron with a fat tip and I would have to told down the iron on my pcb for long periods of time before the solder would melt ...

700F is standard (800F OK)
tip must have shiny solder on it for fast transfer
