Where to buy unusual scale colours?

[Don Pablo]

The red scales on my bladeless woodsman are rather tatty and cracked, due to everything I have done to them.
So I'm looking for a cheap replacement set.
And, because my subconscious is trying to make things difficult, I want an unusual colour, preferably plus. 

My list:

Emerald/translucent green.
Solid green, maybe racing green?

Backup list, in case I can't find the above:

Sapphire/translucent blue.
Ruby red/translucent red.

The MTO store has reasonably priced non-plus scales, but translucent red and blue appear to be unavailable currently. 

I found an ebay seller selling non-plus yellow(not on my list), green(I wonder what shade? Anyone know? ) and translucent blue and red for a reasonable price:
Ukraine ebay seller

The likes of these shops have great prices, but the shipping(22€) kills:
pizzini.at
And they don't have any unusual colours on my list.

There is a US ebay seller selling Emerald scales, but 25$ with shipping is too much, for that price I can get a SAK with the right scale colour.

Soo, where do you EU members all get your emerald scales and the like?

Oh, and if you have colour suggestions or wear+tear anecdotes, I'd like to hear them.

Pabs, translucent scales are gorgeous, but if you're going to be EDC'ing them, they will lose their shine very quickly. They are as hard wearing as the solid scales, so it depends on how bothered you are by the scratches etc of everyday use.

Here's some pics of my emerald Woodsman - the bubbles are intentional - I like the effect. This was used daily for around 12 months and is still used a few times a week now. See what you think.

How did you do the bubble effect? 
I understand what you say, the only translucent scales I've seen on a SAK in person were Ruby, very obviously scratched and kind of dull.
If I exclude the translucents, and red, white, black, what interesting colours are left? 

Green? I hear that there are several shades, and I THINK this one is dark green?
Or maybe solid blue is an option?
Yellow is too sunny unfortunately.

The bubble effect is glue 

Of the solid colours, I love the yellow and white - the darker ones are good, but the brighter the colour, the less likely you are to lose it in the woods when a bear or some badgers and an angry horse are chasing you.

Its just that in my experience, white shows wear marks more than translucent. 
Dark(?) Green would be perfect camo in the grass, as interesting as it looks. 
What about Blue?
Blue and Red bi-colour could be interesting.

There are some lush scales here; http://www.swisstool.co.uk/st/Boutique/ but you have to buy the whole thing - they aren't sold seperately.

So close, so far.

I bought a batch of black, white and yellow from here a couple of years ago on the recommendation of one of our Malaysian members: http://multitools.com.my/33-scales--cover  Prices were good and the service was great.
