Like all my foodie balls have an empty hamburger box for a hamburger I have yet to get or a Subway sandwich. I got to a point where one new item per ball was a good thing, and then I stopped for awhile. Aside from the fast food, which I think I'm getting done with, I'm just going with Ebay sellers who let me pick.

But I also have a sizable collection of photoshopped food labels so when I get bored and crafty I can make Kotter Pops. Most are from Something Awful so they violate the TOS by existing but it'll make an eventual doll supermarket more fun. Or make a craft out of them, like a Mayo wreath or some jewelry.

Gold prize balls showed up at one of my local Walmarts, and they still have a bunch of silver ones. Advent calendars are showing up. I will say they make a good base for cabinets/lockers/automats.

Disney Store and series 4 food are in multi pack tubes. The tube will hold many 1/6 scale size dolls and keep the dust off.

I should have said it's the everything is gold with the fancy ones being rose gold set I saw. And it's still hit and miss because the other Mart was over run with fashion ones.

And I am still in the market for a Carl's Jr/Hardees angus burger or two. So if anyone has spare fast food to part with LMK and I'll check my list.

Looks like some Dollar General stores are going to be carrying some of the Mini Brands and Real Littles Shopkins full time now. It'll probably be old series of them, so that's something to be on the lookout for if you're still missing something.

I still haven't seen them at my dollars store yet in IL.

It could be regional. My store just reset its toy section a few days ago, so it's a very new thing.

We have enough stores around here we have to give them nick names, some not for polite chat boards, there's even a Used 2 B A box store, but the neighborhood will determine what they get too. If the store has a turnstile it's not going to have much for things that fit in to pockets.

Which probably explains why a lot of the prize balls are the size they are.

Check Five Below on a regular basis. That has really become a surprise, we have ___ store.

I got a package of shoes, it was in my path so I had to pick it up, rare gold pair inside. They almost look big enough for Ken feet. I wish I could have opened the bag so I could reuse it, the box is nice, the shoes are wrapped in paper, they come with a little chain so you can wear them like a decoration.

Looks like they would be good to anchor your dolls for free standing.

I've officially found series 4 Mini Brands at Dollar General!

First ball had a gold Frozen Moments inside! And the box of raisins in the third on, upon close inspection, is metallic! Plus I got the laundry detergent I wanted in the first batch I bought? Best. Haul. Ever.
