Thread: Early 2009 Big Lots Finds

Tweet

Some interesting finds have been posted with regards to Dollar Tree and so I thought since I found these at BIG LOTS, I'd start a separate thread for that store.

First two pictures are of a lawn garden angel statute that I bought at BL that I thought would make a beautiful tombstone topper. $25. Appears to be a resin composite. Appx. 12 inches high, 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep. This was my personal favorite but they had a nice selection of other statutes that I thought would lend themselves to tombstones/cemetary.

Third picture is the packaging for the expanding foam snakes that were referenced with other products on the Dollar Tree thread. These snakes were the only creatures I saw in my store (Dollar Tree had body parts and sealife). When placed in enough water and over a period of 5 days, the package says it will grow to over 48 inches. I'm planning on using these in a swamp scene and will try to create a shallow pond for them to be kept moist in. Plan on other snakes hanging in trees. BTW my store had these in yellow, green, copper brown and burgandy brown.

great glow snakes, will have to check my big lots out, the statues will make great tombstonesused to have a big lots 2 minutes away from me but they shut down,sigh.. so now need to drive to another town to go to one.

Nice find on the tomb topper
