Good luck with that? (Really. When it is complete let the world know.)

Check with eBay though. Scour it and you'll find some of those MAYBE though
not even I have them still in shrink-wrap and I consider myself quite the
collector of silliness like that. Then again they're not wrapped 'cause I
probably used them. Either way, good luck.
