Sorry, I cannot help you with the shipping. Regarding the board revisions, yes, 1.2b is the latest hardware revision.
Please, have a look at this thread, which describes a possible way for resolving the backlight flicker issue. Also, please keep in mind that Pine64 hasn't acknowledged the issue or the effort to resolve it; as a result, even if the proposed hardware modifications end up resolving the issue, I have no idea if Pine64 is going to release the next hardware revision that includes the fix. However, I'll publish detailed instructions that will allow anyone to modify the board themself.
I'm currently in the process of sourcing the hardware required for developing and testing the above-described hardware fix for the issue. In more detail, a couple of forum members have expressed their willingness to donate the required hardware; let's hope it will work out.
