Where can I buy this?

Local woodcraft didn't know it existed and couldn't find it in their system.

I can't find it on http://www.mcfeelys.com/

Has anyone tried it?  Like it?

I haven't used the Festool branded one, but this is something that's made by others & badged.

I have a few here, yellow rubber instead of black. The ones I have are quite soft, but they work well.

I like them...

I haven't seen them as a Festool product but are they available `unbadged` from anywhere in a 125mm form factor??

Sooner or later I will get around to getting a RO150, but a lot if RO125 sanding will occur before that day comes. I lsoa happen to have a ton of paper leftover from my previous sander which I had not intention of using with my rotex, but would be fine for a sanding block.

I have it (I got the 3 sander set w/ Mini Sys).
I like it.  It's very comfortable to use and obviously uses the 6" sandpaper.  If you already have a 6" sander, and therefore are "stocking" the 150mm sandpaper, it's worthwhile to get.
However, I actually use the 133x80mm rectangular sanding block the most.  I have the LS130 and RTS400, so have those on hand, too.
If you only were going to get one, I would personally recommend the rectangular block...

You can buy inidividually or as a set from Bob:

Or from Woodcraft as a set (don't expect a green mini Systainer)

My local Woodcraft is including a small sandpaper assortment sampler with this set. 

I actually prefer

The full line of hand sanding blocks can be found here.

As stated, you can buy them individually or as a set of 3, with which you get a mini-sys for storage. For a limited time, you also get an abrasive assortment with the set.

I just tried to buy these sanding blocks  set on Amazon and also emailed Woodcraft both WON'T sell to Australia [mad].
They say Festool instructed them to not sell outside U.S. WTF!!

I really wanted the little green systainer [sad]. Anyone want to sell there's.

The yellow ones that are mentioned are from Hermes.
Look at Axminster UK, they sell them and are a little cheaper (13 euro) then the Festools (17 euro) as well.
The ones from Festool come in Soft (Weich) and Hard (Hart), but not the ones from Hermes.
Since Hermes is also available from the USA you might also get them overthere.
Hermes hand block D150.
