Dollar General
I stopped at a Dollar General store yesterday. I was surprised to see NewRay 1/32 figures, vehicles, Apache helicopters, etc. They were inexpensive. When you consider at Hobbylobby, Michaels, etc., offer the Testors' 1/32 Apache for $24-$27 and you can get The Apache, a couple of figures plus a vehicle for $15, not bad.... The different sets ranged from $8 to $15.

I realize these aren't the greatest examples of our hobby, but they are fantastic deals.

Re: Dollar General
That Sea King is interesting even with the odd 1942 insignia. Some weird stuff shows up at Dollar General. They released a wave of GI Joe figures a few months ago that had us Joe guys buying them all up.

Re: Dollar General
I'm weak. I admit it. I went to a DG and bought the Apache and the LAV (olive) sets. I have these pieces but I just couldn't resist. I'm still looking for the other chopper....

Re: Dollar General
Didn't even know what this store was until I saw this thread, googled it, found the only one in my area, and went there this afternoon. Really not a bad place.
They had the same items everyone else is reporting: New Ray RC M1 Abrams and King Tiger, Apache & LAV set, smaller sets wtih the green LAV. It was cool in many ways to see these sorts of items on the shelf, but nothing upon close inspection really screamed at me to pick it up.
Still, now that I think about it, may have to go back and get a New Ray KT. I want to try using one for moving target practice with a pellet gun

Re: Dollar General
Just an fyi...there is a $5 off $25 coupon on the Dollar General website. It's good on Saturday the 13th only.

Re: Dollar General
Just spotted these at DG today, not to big on the figures, but the guns are spot on 1/18th scale, something yall could look into if your in need for some modern guns and even the figs,
