Any good alternative to MAX 10 Development Kit?

I wanted to get the MAX 10 Dev kit in order to follow the example designs posted in some of the online training. However, the MAX 10 Dev kit is out of stock in Altera's e-store and most of its distri...

Hi, FYI, Cyclone V SX SoC Dev Kit is not available, either. Now I need some clues from you before recommending some fit kits around the price to you.

1. May I know what you mean to do with the board?

2. Any requests necessary on hardware configuration?

3. What's your desired online training examples, any link?

Besides, MAX 10 Dev kit is more of a pure FPGA configuration, while Cyclone V SX SoC Dev Kit is a different SoC one, if you just want to use fpga to control ethernet, then MAX 10 Dev kit is okay, or Cyclone V SX SoC Dev Kit may not suitable for you due to the ethernet is controlled by ARM CPU instead.

I want a basic FPGA for introduction to FPGA design. I will probably end up doing some math computation. The example I was watching creates a 4 bit binary counter that counts using the LEDs in the MAX 10 Dev kit. I found the MAX 10 dev kit available from Mouser. If no other recommendations I will probably get one from them.
