I've decided that I can't live without a miniature plane. Now, the problem is finding one. I'd rather not import one, so limited to a USA source. 'Harbor Freight' doesn't have them. So, where do I look?

I bought a pair of small block planes from a Woodcraft (http://www.woodcraft.com/catalog/c_065.aspx) store a few years ago. Both planes are about 3 inches long. One has a rrosewood and brass body; the other one has a cast steel body and is painted green. I think the green one was made by Kunz tools. Check the local store, as these planes aren't listed in their catalog. The rosewood and brass one was made by Crown Tools in Sheffield, England. The third plane in the picture is a Stanley stamped steel plane I got at a large department store about 15 years ago.
