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.  Unlike Walmart, Dollar Tree has in-store price scanners now - so if you can smuggle a UPC code in the store, you can scan it and see what it costs there. 

If they show up in a Dollar Tree near you, they're scanning at $5.00 a pop.  That more or less confirms the store will be stocking some of the line - how widespread, I have no idea - so keep an eye open if you need a Fifth Brother figure.  (You do, it's cool.)

Hey, and since I've got your attention...

I also have a The Retro Collection Micro Site Thing Dump Whatever that looks like it was programmed in 1996.  It has some news, a lot of lists, and stats for the line, and was optimized for dial-up browsers from 1997 with CRT displays and not your phone.   I assume this means it will alienate the right people.  Enjoy.
