By nested dice I mean a transparent hollow plastic n-sided die which contains a smaller n-sided die within.

I've searched on Chessex, Shapeways, and Q Workshop but either I've missed these offerings or they only sell complicated customizable n-sided dice.

For reference, the dice I'm talking about are along the lines of these:

Nested D10 and Nested D6

I guess even purchasing two dice separately and assembling it myself is also a possibility, but I don't want to have to break the outer die just to get it apart.

I assume you don't have a reprap or equivalent 3d printer? :) Then the answer could be: "You!" – Brian Ballsun-Stanton♦ Jul 16 '12 at 18:56

I think they are Koplow double dice.

Ah, those look like the ones I'm thinking of! Unfortunately, this doesn't look like it will suit my purposes. Specifically I'm looking to purchase nested d4 or nested d8 for a friend, whom already has a nested d6, d10, d12, and d20. That wasn't part of the question though, so I'll mark this as correct unless someone else posts a more complete nested polyhedral set. – EvilAmarant7x Jul 16 '12 at 19:08
Unfortunately, I don’t recall ever seeing a double d4 or a double d8. It’s not the same, but here are d20s with other kinds of dice inside them. I guess one can use them to make to-hit and damage rolls at the same time in D&D. – Trippo Jul 16 '12 at 20:47

You could always 3D print-on-demand your own custom ones.

That's what I did. They do a good job: Thorn Dice.

Good answer. Welcome to the site, Xori, and thanks for giving us a link to the set you made. – Brian Ballsun-Stanton♦ Jul 17 '12 at 17:23

Ouch. Very nice looking, but I fear for any tabletop onto which those are rolled! – SevenSidedDie Jul 17 '12 at 19:27

close to what you want, but as a gift idea: he may not have dice with other ones inside:
Set of six 20 sided double dice matched with a D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20.
