They aren't in many 2003 sets, but there should be some lingering kits
available.

Set 9747 has two of them in trans-dk-gray for $19.99
http://www.megabloks.com/eng/products/description.php?txtKey=&iID=57&dir=products&cboAge=13&cboSkill=&cboType=&cboPiece=72&cboPrix=32&AW=0&New=0&iPage=4

Set 9743 has two in a sort of pale trans-antifreeze for $19.99
http://www.megabloks.com/eng/products/description.php?txtKey=&iID=55&dir=products&cboAge=13&cboSkill=&cboType=&cboPiece=70&cboPrix=32&AW=0&New=0&iPage=4

Set 9182 has one in trans-dk-gray for about $4.99
http://www.megabloks.com/eng/products/description.php?txtKey=&iID=132&dir=products&cboAge=3&cboSkill=&cboType=&cboPiece=3&cboPrix=1&AW=0&New=1&iPage=7

Set 9527 likewise has one in trans-antifreeze for $19.99
http://www.megabloks.com/eng/products/description.php?iID=153&dir=products&cboAge=13&cboSkill=&cboType=&cboPiece=133&cboPrix=30&AW=0&New=0&iPage=9

I know for a fact that they also exist in trans-red, as shown here

trans-white, as shown here

I also own them in opaque dk-blue, trans-yellow, and possibly possibly trans
dk-green.  There may be others I'm not aware of, but in any case these
latter colors are rarely found in retail stores any longer.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for your interest!
