DT normally isn't worth looking into at all because they're the honest dollar store, where everything actually is $1.00. The only interesting TF KOs they ever had were of Cybertron Legends, including Brimstone who I'm not sure got the official treatment. Their only other item of possible interest to our fandom is some "T-BOTS" coloring books, featuring many robots that look vaguely familiar, including a yellow Tracks-ish fellow on the cover.
Some of their stuff doesn't get distributed evenly though. The store on Warren just west of Westland mall had a toyline called "S.T.O.P. vs. S.C.U.M." that I've never seen elsewhere, not even at other Dollar Trees. A cross between G.I.Joe and Mad Max, they all sold out fast except for Lady Lead about 5 years ago. I'll have to stop by and see if she's still pegwarming.
Man, this and yesterday's Vehicon news just keeps giving me renewed hope that Arcee and Chromia might still show up at TJMarshaxx or Tuesday Morning, cheap enough for me to stockpile enough Arcees for all the customs I've wanted to do! Marvel, Blurr prototype colors...

I don't think this one is any indication of distribution issues, since Kreo is dead and done in the US market for now. That's not to say there aren't any, I just don't think this is an example of it due to that factor.
I'm surprised these showed at all! Thought the ship sailed on them months ago in regards to showing up at discount. Happy for those that missed out though, that's for sure.

To be fair, my post said "Lady-Lead" was pegwarming, which I only now realize has an onion's-worth of layers of wrong in it. I mean, I know lead-poisoning contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire, but maybe it wasn't just from the pipes their drinking water came through...SillySpringer wrote:Moosey wrote:SillySpringer wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Thanks, Silly.

...um, right, AofE toys! I still didn't check out my Dollar Trees today, but some repackaged Kreo Cityville sets showed up in Dollar General last month, so the line still has a little life left.
