Best US source for Nichia LEDs?

[concept0]

I'm looking for 24 DS LEDs (to mod a lantern) + 2-3 GS LEDs (for modding a photon and stuff).

Anybody know a good US source or have some they want to sell?

The good Nichia LED's are in high demand it seems. Yet hard to get. Most people buy them directly in bags of 100 from Nichia. Some then split up the bag and sell LED's.

The Sandwich Shoppe sells 5 packs of Nichia CS leds for $7. They also sell 5 packs of the GS for $15.00. Quite expensive.

But othwise it's crazy. No one seems to have a reliable source for Nichia LED's ?! I can't figure it out.
