For anyone interested...

I picked up a few 3VDC laser pointer modules from RadioShack recently for less
than $10.00 each.

The module is RS#277-1101.  Here is a link to a picture of it next to a 2x4
brick.

Here is a link to the PDF file for the device:

This appears to be a discontinued item from RS, but I've seen quite a few of
them in several stores.

I have 2 laser pointers hacked up, waiting for me to buy the diodes and such
to finish. :)  IIRC, "The Website" has the links, or Lego laser pointer on
Google turns them up fine.
