Where to buy crystal d4s?

[jeffh]

Does anyone know of a good place to get this style of d4s? Without going into too much detail, everyone online I can find is either sold out of them, only carries them as part of a 7-piece set, doesn't ship outside the US (dicepool.com, which is also nearly sold out of them), or lies about their weight, seemingly as an excuse to charge extortion prices for shipping (Games Unlimited). My local retailers are generally in the first two categories as well. I want to get 10 to 20 of these dice, but it seems no-one will let me!

I think these are just obviously superior to the traditional caltrops tetrahedrons. They're easier to roll, easier to read, not nearly as painful to step on, and still manage not to look like any other common die type. (The latter is why I will never use so-called double d8s again, and one of two reasons why I don't want the other "crystal dice" Crystal Caste makes, only the four-siders.) I actually kind of hope that these become the standard type of d4 as soon as Crystal Caste's patent expires, assuming they even have one; but for now, it seems they're so far from that as to be almost nonexistent.

I did just that at about the same time I sent the above message. After hearing that they wouldn't from someone else, I wasn't too hopeful, but they said to call (toll-free) and just tell them what I wanted. So I guess I'm set after all.

EDIT: I called them. They'll do it, and significantly cheaper than any other site I saw was even theoretically willing to do. However, they'll only let me pay by credit card, which due to bad timing, means I can't actually do the order for a few days. No big deal, eventually I will.
