No other letters? Or are they just sold out?

I have one of these. Picked it up in San Francisco when i was there. I got a "F" and went through the entire stack to find the right one i wanted.

There are more, or at least there were. I clearly remember N and D being there.

If they had numbers I would use them for my outside house numbers. They are cool.

They must be sold out. I got a K several months ago, and I'm sure they had the whole alphabet.

They did have the whole alphabet earlier in the year. I ordered a C, and while they prepare you for the fact that they won't/can't guarantee what pattern you get, I wasn't pleased with the Christmas teddy bear pattern I received. It will be okay for the holidays, but not part of my year round decor.

My two cents, they sure are cute!

could you make these out of old candy/chocolate tins or something? are they adhered to a wood base or something?

I've got an M up in my kitchen -- it's that same orange French Nestle instant coffee thing the W is. I was a little disappointed they didn't have any Ms made out of olive oil tins, like a lot of the others were -- it would have made sense since the M stands for a very Italian surname...

They aren't mounted to wood or anything - they're all metal and hollow inside, but I can't recall offhand if they backed the original packaging with more metal or not. You could probably make one yourself, I suppose...
