    Does anyone know where you can buy the plastic bubbles that are used in packaging HotWheels or Matchbox 1/64 scale cars...??? I'm trying to buy them for a project I'm working on and I'm not having any luck. I've tried to re-use the ones form the cars that I open but I can't keep the paper card from sticking to it and I've tried everything to get that stuck paper off and it's just not possible... I don't think...???
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

    In a well ventelated area, soak the Card around the Blister with Lighter Fluid. This is 1 way that customizers keep from damaging the card so that they can put the finished custom back into the package. The fluid breaks down the glue.
