1/8 ID Vinal (sp) tubing is available here in Canada often in the plumbing
section of the hardware store, cost is .17/ft. It is not as good a fit as the
lego tubing, but it has the advantage of being cheap.
If your hardware store does not carry it, ask if they can order in a drum of
500 ft, it wouldn't be too expensive ($85 for the drum...however, you should be
able to get it cheaper if you buy the whole drum)
The nominal OD of the lego barbs is 1/8"
