Hi, just saw your post recently. My advice (based on my experience of looking for 10179) to you is:
1) Be patient
2) Be prepared for crazy prices
The cheapest I found at one point was from a seller in South Korea. The set was slightly more expensive than US-based sellers but the postage was much cheaper. Also, please remember that Malaysian customs will impose a duty of 10-15%.

So far the cheapest I can see on Bricklink is USD $900 (NOT including postage, which will probably be around $300). And that's for a USED set. NISB will be upwards of $1100.

Anyway, you can try your luck on:
