Yeah definitely check it out... the number of books they have depends...I found lots of "Friends Forever" and "Enchanted Kingdom", but these were hard for Fanchan to find. I really wanted to find another copy of "The World of Rainbow Brite" but couldn't. I'm lucky that Fan was able to score one for me though. Let us know what you find at your Ollie's!
I just went to Ollie's today. They had tons of "Meet the Color Kids", "Enchanted Kingdom", "Rainbow Falls" and a million of "Twink and the Sprites" coloring books there. There was only 1 "Friends Forever" coloring book left that I could find, (which is one of the ones I don't have) so I bought that one, and another Rainbow Falls one, since I like the stickers.

That's awesome! Yeah, what each Ollie's has is a mystery. Did you dig deep or is that what you found on the surface?

They were on a shelf, I really had to look, most of them were in the very back. I searched every inch of where they could be at, lol. I'm surprised there are a ton of them left, there were more of them than most other coloring books on the shelves. People & their kids don't know what their missing with Rainbow Brite, maybe blame it on the poor marketing RB had to endure. Hopefully, this year will be much better.
Well, I suppose at first glance Rainbow Brite does seem silly. I mean, you kinda have to watch the cartoons to get the whole idea and fall in love with the show.
And yes, mine were on shelves too, scattered randomly with some of the other books. I think it took me awhile to get the 6 that I did get. At least we can honestly state that Ollie's stores in 3 different states are carrying the books in varying degrees. It is at least nice to find them. It would be really cool if they ended up carrying some of the toys from the launch in 2004 though too.

I know. I'm going back again sometime soon to get a set for my niece. I still want to get some of the other items from 2004 too like the metal lunch box, candle, snowglobe, the RB steering wheel cover and floor mats. At least I got the colorcastle. I should've bought a couple more when I had the chance. Thanks again for the info on the books.

OMG The Snowglobe is so cute I love it! I have a hard time finding it tho. Last time I found it on ebay was last fall and it was snatched up from me last minute *pouts*

Me and my bf had gone to Ollie's a few days ago. I was just looking around and my bf came over to me with two RB books. I was so excited. I didn't have time to look for more since they were closing. I got the sticker book and the paint book. I thought it was kinda sad that out of 75 stickers there were only 4 sprites and no other characters at all. I noticed the Sunriser thing right away- I pointed out to my bf. It was kinda funny. I need to go back and see if they have anymore.
Well, with the sticker book, the stickers are for activities in the book, and aren't meant to be used elsewhere. In the other books that come with stickers or tattoos that are meant to be used outside of the books, they have each of the color kids plus Rainbow. I think one of them had all of the sprites, too.
"I hope you know what you're doing, Rainbow."
"You still doubt me, after all this time?"
"I don't doubt," Krys said as he paused at the door. "I worry."
Still a pathetic selection of stickers. When it says 75 stickers- it sounds really good. Just a little disappointing that there are only 4 character stickers out of 75. I still like the books.
but the sticker storybook is really cute, if only for the fact that both Moonglo and Stormy are in it, as well as Tickled Pink... you don't often see these characters in the books
