first, i look around, then, when i can't find one, i ask the lady who works there about the game. SHE LAUGHED!:|
She's probably thinking, " this guy has gone nuts!".

Hey, a good place to look to get one then. Maybe not for a dollar, but probably still cheap? :)

Went to one of Kansas City's Dollar Trees and -- nuthin' -- this is probably a regional thing.

Hopefully this just isn't one of those 'right place, right time' deals, so maybe this deal is available everywhere.

My girlfriend works at that Dollar Tree. I could probably call her and get her to snag a bunch for real cheap.

I used to work at a Dollar Tree and the store's inventory depends on what the manager orders. Customers always came in and complained about that. Apparently, they would buy out one store and move onto the next.

BTW, the store I worked at had Q3 during the summer.

Microcenter had them for $1.99 last month. If you have one in your area they may have some left in the store.

Yeah, me.

Did a landslide block the exit to the cave you're living in or something??? ;)

I'm going to try them. My dollar tree didn't have any. :(

This would be my first real game, aside from backgammon, hearts, and minesweeper. :)
