I have previously written that the spring Gnome-related buildings and accessories were showing up at Dollar Tree, and a number of new items were going to be part of the rotation.
I happened to stop by a different Dollar Tree and through the Valentines Day and Easter displays, the Fairy Garden line was on a half-filled endcap.
A lot of items on display, were more akin to building a fairy door on your tree than building/expanding your fairy village. Oversized (3-5" tall doors, and other accessories). There were a smattering of "gnome homes" that are used in Gnome Wars and Wars of Ozz games.
The new items carded to be put on racks now display a new Fairy Garden green card, and the prominent "$1.25" that many Dollar Tree items have. For at least this batch, the gnomes vary wildly in scale. Some still fit as an extra on a 30mm game, while a few are a gigantic 3 inches tall!
The only items that fit my parameters was the Fountain and Tub pack. Both pieces are solidly constructed, with satisfactory paint for a big table, and enough detail that a repaint could be productive.
My early season review of the new Fairy Garden items at Dollar Tree is lukewarm, a three out of five gnome rating.
