Default Trouble finding Mahle gaskets

Trying to buy gaskets for the '92. I have 4 Mahle items but having trouble finding them, now, reasonable.

5922 head gasket
MS 16134 Intake set
G31178 EGR valve
VS 50175 valve cover gasket

Autozone shows each of them, but when I try to order, everything except the EGR gasket comes up no longer available.
Summit has the head gasket ( have not looked for others yet) but ship date is 8-17.
Some show on eBay at about twice the standard price
Zoro.com shows 3 of the 4 (but not the valve cover gaskets) as ship within 5 days but I have heard they sometimes rope you in then your parts turns out to be backordered.

Any suggestions for getting Mahle pronto at a normal price, or shoudl I just go with other brands?

Always had good results with them, heard the same from others. If I ca't get them I'll go with Fel-Pro or something else, just curious why a long-time name brand seems hard to find.

Takes forever to get a lot of things with this mess we got going on. Getting it to the distributors seems to be an issue
