It's a rumor - but more so!
I was reading on some forums that Hasbro's Star Wars: The Retro Collection action figures for Obi-Wan Kenobi were showing up at Dollar Tree. Exciting! Ross had some of these guys last year for around $3.99. When I heard Dollar Tree might have some, I started checking (more frequently, I'm there all the dang time looking for stuff) and so far haven't found any. But, as you know, Dollar Tree has things for $1.25 and up.
I was wondering which one this would be, and I had a way to find out.
If you're the kind of person that collects a lot of toys, you might be aware of Family Dollar as one of those "value channel" stores that carries a number of off-brand and budget big-brand toys, as well as the temporary exclusive distributor of Jolt Cola (despite never having any stock, not that I'm bitter.) They were one of the few stores in the USA that frequently stocked the $7ish 6-inch simplified Hasbo Star Wars and Marvel action figures, as well as the "Authentics" Transformers this year - and very few of their items cost only $1. And now there will be 390 less of these stores, so says CNN.
