Syd produced a batch of around 50-100 complete units, as well as selling the bare PCBs. Most of these units were purchased by users in Russia and the Ukraine, with a handful going further afield in February/March 2011 — [https://web.archive.org/web/20170706104143/http://matt.west.co.tt/spectrum/speccy2010/ a blog post by Matt Westcott] describes his experience of ordering one for delivery to the UK. Unfortunately by mid-March 2011 Syd had encountered problems with international delivery, and indicated that he would be unlikely to accept international orders in future. In any case, the existing stock had sold out, and owing to personal commitments Syd had no plans for any further production runs.

Around the time these units were on sale, Russian distributor ZST was also offering self-assembly kits [http://www.zxkit.ru/katalog-1 via the zxkit.ru website]. As of October 2012 these are still advertised on the site, although it's not clear whether these are indeed still available.

A further batch of Speccy2010 PCBs has since been produced in the Czech Republic - these are available (as bare boards only) from [http://divide.cz/?x=eshopn the divide.cz shop]. Anyone undertaking a Speccy2010 home build project would need to be comfortable with surface-mount soldering, and will likely need to source local equivalents for certain components only available in Russia (Shiru on WOS Forums has [https://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32362&highlight=speccy2010&page=35 offered to assist] with this).
