I just got back from the dollar store and they had the crows out. I bought 10 of them along with a couple of small busts...check them out...

Great find, dippedstix!! I am definitely going to DT tomorow to get crows!!!!

those busts are cool...were they just a buck a piece?

I was in Zurchers Party Store and they had boxes of Halloween stuff and I asked when she was going to put it out. She said they had to put it out soon because there were so many Halloween boxes they were taking over the back room! They carry all the OTC stuff which is nice 'cuz it saves on shipping.

dippedstix, I got 13 of the crows, only some of mine had their wings spread and some had their heads turned to the side. Our DT didn't have busts yet.

Went to 2 Dollar Tree's today and NO crows, I am bummed!

Rikki which Dollar Tree did you find that at? I checked out the one on Broadway and Loudon on tuesday and didn't see anything.

I found those at the one on Tiverton (off Nicholasville). The one at Andover and the one at Park Hills had nothing. You just saved me a trip downtown!

Glad to see that people are starting to find them. They should go fast. Based on earlier reports I thought my store might have been the only one to put them out early.

BTW Dippedstix, did you want all of your crows to look forward? As I posted before (Photo - Pg 25 on this thread, permalink 244), there seem to be 3 variations.

At a buck a piece, and yes, everything in the store including the tabletop statues are $1 each, the crows can be hard to resist in quantity at that price. So far I've purchased 15 of them (2 trips) 5 of each of the 3 variations. I have a number of crows from prior years so really should take an inventory of them. My DOLLAR TREE will exchange merchandise but won't do a return with refund--just thought I'd mention that. Assume all stores have the same policy and wouldn't want someone to be surprised if they wanted to bring something back.

BTW don't overlook DT for bugs and snakes (toy section), faux floral including vines (for gravesites, etc.), floral foam, cheese cloth, foam board (poster size). As more halloween comes out, the selection will get better--party supplies, signage, bottle labels (last year), Halloween cds, candy, and some costume accessories I think. I also saw battery operated LED tealights, something like 6 to a package.

Heads up that ROSS stores are starting to put out Halloween merchandise. I'll post some pics of things I picked up. In the meantime here's some early shelf stocking pics:
