Personally if it's the same price elsewhere I'd cancel the Helidirect order and buy it from where has it available. it's out of order that they showed it as being in stock when you ordered then didn't even tell you that it wasn't available post order, it shouldn't have taken a phone call to find out.
PS.. just checked their web-site and they still show it as available from stock!.. that's bad.

Yes that's not good. I just check again this morning and still showing in stock but its out of stock. When I looked around last night I found that all major distributors are out of stock. Now SAB Goblin USA has it in stock so I think there was a fluke and retailers are now getting caught back up on inventory.

Here is why I said Journal and not build:
My setup as of right now (just electrics to include packs but not extra cabling and connectors):
Column 1 is just item number; 2) is description; 3) QTY needed to fly; 4) Price in USD; 5) Weight as advertised for just one.
Here are some motors that I found to compare with:
ESC selection:
Flight Packs:
Again this is just for ball park comparison. I am looking at how much I would have to spend to make the lightest bird possible. As you can see the best is not really the best at all if your looking at weight. I like slower head speeds at the moment. With that I have to watch the disk loading on the bird. Disk loading is what gives you that snappy or floaty feeling. FLoaty is suited for big air and autos while snappy is more suited for box or smack flying but sucks for autos. Just in electrics alone with my selections am coming in right around 4 pounds or 1900 grams just for the electrics. I can get the weight down to 1775 grams just by changing the motor, esc and flight packs. Now the Goblin 570 is advertised at 2400g with electrics minus packs. So what electrics did they use? I dont know but I will know how much mine weighs once I get a scale.
