Hey, I am waiting for quite some time to pull the trigger on buying a steam deck. Now that the oled model is live, i really want the limited edition one. But, i can't order it because i love in Europe. Should i just buy the 1tb oled model or should i wait a little bit more? Thanks for the tips/ advice!

Order it through a currier service that will forward it to you so you won't have to deal with scalpers and scalper prices

If I recall correctly, the LE version was for North America only and will not be released elsewhere. If you really want an LE version, you will have to "import" it from someone selling one, whether that be friends/family or ebay.
Oh! I didn't catch the part that it wouldn't be released elsewhere! I was thinking it to be released world wide at a later time or something.
Yeah, here is part of the FAQ at the bottom of the product page... While it doesn't explicitly state that it won't ever be released elsewhere, it doesn't outright state that it will.
Why isn’t the Limited Edition Steam Deck OLED available in my region?
Steam Deck Limited Edition is an experiment for our team, and we were only able to make a small quantity. That said, we hope this is a successful experiment and customers are excited – if we see there is a large demand for this kind of product, we will definitely continue to explore more colorways in the future.
Will bots and resellers end up buying all of the Limited Edition models?
We are taking extra steps to minimize bots and resellers for this model, to ensure as many actual customers are able to purchase these units as possible. To purchase a Limited Edition Steam Deck OLED model, you need to be in the United States or Canada, your account needs to be in good standing, and you need to have made a purchase on Steam before November 2023.
