I've killed a few hundred mods recently... Meatlumps, Ragtags, a few Jawas, and some other stuff I can't remember.I found... a Gong piece. Yup, that's it. Got some crap like a broken sandstat, broken viewscreen, ect. But nothing else. Nothing for my Blue Rug kit. 
I wish the Devs would've been a little more creative with these. Maybe make it so you can also get the pieces for doing quests for the Junk Dealer. Say the dealer needs you to do to deliever missions, and in return he'll give you a piece for your loot kit. The more missions you do, the harder they get. So when you get the twentith mission for the tenth piece, you may have to go to another planet, kill some creature and go back to the dealer to get your final piece.

Or atleast they could've made it so Smugglers could buy the pieces from the Jawas at the Jawa trading camp. Maybe for every four or five pieces of junk the Smuggler sells to the Jawa, he/she could buy a loot kit part that he wanted. Would finally give some use to all the junk we get and a use for the Jawa trade camp...

They really do need to increase the drop rate on adhesives. Even making adhesive twice as likely to drop as the other parts would be good.
I really don't see why the Devs should feel a need to "control" the influx of these items. So lots of people might wind up with new art? Good. We need some more of that.
If it's their intent that all of these items be extremely rare... then why don't the junk dealers offer more for them?
(Personally I'd kill any idiot that sold one of these items back to a junk dealer, such fools don't deserve the thing in the first place).

I looted the Blue Rug Dye on one of the NPC's on the vette. seems like the rarest. never seen anyone with it 
seems that rare loot kit parts are found on harder NPC's as well as rare items.

"seems that rare loot kit parts are found on harder NPC's as well as rare items."
Nope. I looted the orange rug cloth patches and the adhesive from Ragtag Kooks outside of Tyrena in the same night.

In 1 hour at Fort Tusken I killed maybe 150 tuskens and got 5 loot kit pieces and 2 force crystals. It's just luck, if it wasn't, people wouldn't buy them for so much.

I have been actively killinglow level npc mobsfor about two weeks now.. I have lootedmore than 400 various loot parts but only about 10 adhesives total. After patch 9.2, lootkit parts were dropping more often. Since 9.3 I have noticed that drop ratesfor all lootkit parts seem to have gone down considerably. On my server adhesive is still selling for > 1 mil.

I have looted 250+ parts and only 2 adhesives so the adhesives are definitely alot rarer than the other parts.

Oops hit enter to soon, the only parts that are so rare are the adhesives. I have all the parts off the lootkits (several 2 or 3 times) and I have only 1 adhesive part.
It's getting annoying to collect these pieces since they fill up my inventory and with the vendor nerf comming I need all the storage capacity I can spare.
