I've seen five packs, but they are quite nice and expensive. Paper would probably be your best option.

If you're using these for background models to "fill the yard" I wouldn't be so quick to disregard the paper ones that were mentioned from the German website. Print these on a light cardstock, or even a cheap photo paper. Set these in the back and use the better detailed ones in the foreground for an effect to have people believe they're all that quality. Trust me, most people don't look that close at the ones away from the front edge, they see them im perefrial (sp?) vision. Also, the 1:100 scale ones would be good for background, forced perspective models in HO, the same as the 1:200 ones would be for N scale
