I had a blade break a few days ago, right around to base of the thing that keeps it attached to the chopper. glue didn't work... though I haven't tried Appoxy. Any Ideas on were I may be able to score some parts?

Did you try a high quality plastic weld? That's what I was going to do for mine but I can't find the tab.
I broke two of the rotor blade pegs on mine, so I made new ones out of square-section plastic chopsticks (bamboo ones might work too).
I cut a piece of chopstick 1.25 inches long, then drilled a hole into the blade root deep enough for 1/3 to 1/2 of the new peg. I used 5-minute epoxy adhesive to fix the peg in the hole.
When that dried, I just whittled a notch in the protruding peg to fit the hole in the rotor hub. No glue necessary for this step. Worked like a charm.
