Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
No cheap real estate in California. Ollie's only survives by opening locations in some of the most run-down retail buildings I've ever seen in areas with cheaper real estate. It's a store out of time and out of step with almost all other modern retail chains.
Ollie's is like stepping into a retail store from the 70s or 80s. It's actually a bit fun in that regard.

Went to Ollie's in Woonsocket, didn't really see anything interesting other than this. I suppose if you're into the game it might be worth it.

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
There’s been a dry spell of new graphic novels coming in since Ollie’s seems focused on spring. Hopefully there’s a good dump coming up again soon

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
I might go over there this weekend- only 20mins away so I might as well, need my fix of cheap LARABARs anyways. Hopefully they got some more books (but I'm not expecting it).
Goddamnit Woonsocket. What are you doing? Someone just had their car stolen with their baby in the back seat.

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
The locations I regularly check have more or less run dry of trade paperbacks and graphic novels outside of a few leftovers. They do have those $5 and $5.99 bags of older comics, which are wildly hit or miss. The ten-packs shamelessly throw in anything, including comics that were given away on Free Comics Day.

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
The nearby Ollie's has been cleaned out for the most part by people who buy stuff to re-sell on eBay or flea markets. All the bagged books are gone and most of the TPBs in the store. Still, I was able to find Weirdworld: Warriors of the Shadow Realm TPB for $7.99 and Azrael: Fallen Angel Vol 1 for $3.99. The Weirdworld one has amazing art by John Buscema, Rudy Nebres, Mike Ploog and Pat Broderick.

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
My local Ollie's had copies of the Complete Fables Covers by James Jean hardcover for $10. They have a 15% email coupon to Ollie's members so it came out to $8.50. Not bad for a book that was originally $50.

I think it was a mistake but a few months back I came across a sealed copy of Dave McKean's collected Sandman covers...at Dollar Tree. Easily the nicest book I've ever come across at Dollar Tree.
It's this hardcover -

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
I have a 15% off coupon good until the 13th so I guess I'll take another ride over.
Problem is I have a hard time not stocking up on junk food while I'm there.

Re: Ollie's Bargain Outlet
My Ollie's is doing a little remodeling and thinned their graphic novel section down substantially.
I was happy to find a copy of James Jean's covers, which is all I really wanted anyway.
He has a lovely technique I'm looking forward to studying.
