need help finding letters for making signs

In the Sep. 04 issue of MR, the kitbashing article feature a product from a company called Plastikard. They were 6 mm plastic letters. I looked on the website provided in the article but it didn't give an email address or prices/SH rates in US dollars. I contacted MR and they could only advise me to snail mail the company.[banghead]
Before I go through the trouble of doing that, does anyone know where I can get plastic letters of the same type (plain, Arial font between 6-10 mm high) here in the States?
Thanks![8D]

I used alphabet soup noodles, they work fine for a bag that will last a lifetime @ 99 cents.
Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

I have some similar letter sets from England, made by Slaters. You might have to find a source there to get them. I picked up several sets quite some time ago at an area hobby shop, but don't think I've ever seen them since.
