Prisms for laser experimentation

Hi all,

Anyone know of any cheap source in Australia that sells prisms and perhaps mirrors for laser experimentation? Perhaps a kit or something?

Photocopiers and old laser printers (AR coat too) have front surfaced mirrors.
CD/CDROM players can have cube or normal beam splitters.
Cheap laser pointers can have culminating lens.

Jell-O I think has to be the most fun for showing how fibre optics work etc.

edsci.com or ebay sells just about everything.
