Oh wow, I almost bought the puzzles for 10$ for 2 also. Man, I gotta get out more. :P Now if only I could find the plushies for a dollar each!

xD That would be cool if they had plushies for a buck. ^^ It MIGHT happen in the future. You never know. :D

Yeah, even the mini-keychain kind.. Heh.. That'd be so cool. xD I'd be buying one of each.

My local store only had one (It's mine, all MINE).

I got the one with this picture on it:

I LOVE the description of that card! Lucky, I looked and only found Spiderman.

Dollar stores are popping up everywhere it seems. Bit like the old 'five and dime' stores of yesteryear. People like cheap prices, whod've thunk? lol :P

I read an article not long ago about how dollar stores work. It's not so surprising that Neopets merchandise could pop up in one. What they stock their stores with is usually overstock, seconds, closeouts, etc. Many stock food items (perfectly good) that are nearly out of date that regular stores don't want to offer because it would make them look bad.

I wouldn't expect to see anything more than the cheaper bits of Neo merchandise in a dollar store.

Who said something about the keychains? I keep wanting those but not for more than $1 lol. Maybe I'll pop into the dollar store they just put in near me and see if they have any Neo stuff ;)

You're correct on the closeouts aspect of things. I work for Target as a Team Leader. Last Christmas we had the puzzles, etc. for Neopets. The ones that go on clearance after Christmas and don't sell are bought from us at or under cost by closeout dealers such as Big Lots, Marc's and so-forth. This is true for most all retailers. So if you're really patient, you can wait for a while to see if anything shows up there... ;)

That's the puzzle I got. The colors are much better in real life than on that picture though. Much deeper.

Now if I remember right that's the one I couldn't think of.

A little OT, but in the summer of 2003 I was at a local flea market, and I found the coolest neopets socks. :D They were of course unlicensed stuff I'm sure, but they quality was great, and the images of the neopets were absolutely perfect. :D Only shame was they were just for kids, so I bought some for my toddler son....they people were wondering why I was pouting that they weren't in "adult sizes".

They were super cool though...still have a few around the house. Maybe I'll take a picture of a couple to share. They had neopets on them (that were undoubtedly neopets, not a thing was wrong with the image) but instead of being printed, they were actually woven into the sock! The ones I remember off the top of my head was there was a pair of tonu socks, zafara, scorchio, kau...there were more too...

The things they can do in Mexico these days. :D Heh.

well, as long as nopets profit well, the prices will go down (supposedly); so just wait. Maybe a dollar plushie for the winter sales? *hopes

I've been meaning to ask this question for ages, but never made a topic about it...

Can I still buy something with a code to get the Space Faerie as a challenger? I bought some stickers way back when and I have her on my older account, but I'd like to give it a shot on my _mash_ account. Do the codes from the TCG cards work?

EDIT: The new Mrs. Jazz just asked this on the Neoboards! Weird, huh? They're saying not the TCG, so there's my answer ^^
