There's a chain store called Five Below where everything in the store is $5 or less. They stock a lot of assorted stuff, kind of like a step above a dollar store.
Anyways, the Five Below in the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA has a tub of polyhedral dice for a quarter a piece. The interesting thing is there are some really odd ones. Stopped their to pick up some candy for the new HP movie today, and I got...
Large d6 where all pips are Ks, the one is a giant K with a trademark symbol, and amusingly the three side basically reads KKK (amusing in the sense of unintended consequences).
Got three d6 with assorted emoticons, to wit:
Red d6 with

Also got two six-siders which look like they each came from a board game.
One is large, wooden, rounded edges/corners, and large painted color spots for faces (blue, pink, orange, white, red, green).
The other is a normal d6, actually quite high quality, with colored symbols.
Green o with a tail, like the symbol for male/mars without the arrow.
Blue delta with a line capping it, kind of like |<
Orange triangle
Two small red circles connected with a short line
Blue square
Purple asterisk
My fiancée grabbed some of the standard stuff too, two d10s and a d6 that she thought were pretty.
I just find it weird that a store like this would carry polyhedral dice in the first place, and even odder that they'd actually have some neat, weird ones.
