Some on Ebay in the US. The seller does post outside of the US.

If anyone in Europe buys from this seller, please tell me how much do you payed for shipping. I tried to order once, but shipping costs were outrageous.

I just looked and I can post up to 4 lbs to the UK or Portugal for $13.95. So if this would help I would be willing to buy and then post to the UK or Portugal whatever you need from this seller.
