Paul, I can't either find a regular "web shop" on the Nick site but you can order any of their products for trial as "articles sent on approval". For non-EU member states you also have to fill out a "letter of agreement"-form. See http://playnick.com/index.php?cmd=s&id=163
However, the NickLegere Signature reeds are only available as French cut reeds, thus suiting the PlayEasy B-series and Solist M mouthpieces but not the PlayEasy D-series or other mouthpieces for German cut reeds.
The reason for this may be that the material and/or cut of the Signature's can't be made stiff enough. As an example, the Legere Signature reeds for Bass clarinet goes up to just 3,0 in strength while the "non-Signature" Legere Bass reed goes up to 5. Or there may be other reasons unknown to me.
A German cut reed with the same number as a French cut reed is usually stiffer, but the difference is perhaps just somewhere between 0,5-1,0.
