I went to Michael's yesterday and I thought I hit the jackpot they had clear dollar stamps and different from the ones I bought before (12)This time they had 16 different ones anybody find these or are they repeats from the first batch along time ago. Oh well I have them!!!LOL
I have 3 Mikes within 15 minutes from my house and i have yet to be fortunate enough to see these! Are you all sure they aren't phantom?

I was there as well , and came home with 4 new to me ones.
They were Baby(blocks, Joy, onsie, bundle of)
girl, butterfly, party girl, flower, ladybug
flower flourishes(5 stamps)
just because, smiley flower, friends, fun
I always hit the spin bin in the front of the store first and start rifling through it, got lucky this time...
I got both sets from Micahels of the clear $1 stamps & one set from Joann's. I don't think they've come out with a 3rd set from M's yet.
Although, I'm still waiting for new $1 Michaels wood stamps, they're out but not at my stores.
I just found a bunch here in Louisville last week - first time I'd seen them (and of course, my Mike's is undergoing it's "remodel" - more like "remess" if you ask me - so I'm surprised I even found the $1 items to begin with!)...
Oh my gosh. Here in the burbs of Chicago, my Mike's has HUNDREDS of them in like four baskets on two wire racks. It's insane. I bought 13 different ones the other day!
The two Mike's I go to have them. At first one of them didn't but now they seem to have caught up! No, they are not phantom stamps...they are so cute! For some reason, not all Michael's have the same things! : (
Our Mike's in Springfield Il has tons 2 weeks ago- I have never seen so many- and this was on Saturday when they are usually cleaned out! Needless to say, I bought 12...
I spent the weekend in Bozeman MT and the Mikes there had tons of them. I bought about 10 packages and spent all day yesterday playing with them. They are small, so I made 3x3 cards for the first time. My laundry is still waiting,LOL.

WOO HOO (yes I'm yelling and doing the happy dance ;-)). I stopped off at Michaels for the 5 thousandth time and they ACTUALLY had clear $1 stamps. I bough 18 of them. I'm so excited. Sometimes it's all about the hunt for me.
JulieHRR & JAMPSTERSTAMPER - I found them at the Federal Way Michaels so you might try your Michaels. At least you know they showed up in Western Washington.
Had I known these were so pop, I would have bought more when I saw them in the Seattle location!! DARN! They had little cute acrylic blocks there too...every time I've been back, they've been out. I go once every week or two just to check in and see what's new!

My friend bought the first ones for me because our M's didn't have 'em. But I found them the other day and brought more home. Unfortunately, several were duplicates (guess I really liked those). Oh well, I gave them to a friend who was very generous to me in sharing some of her demo supplies. (Thanks, Sandy!)
They always have tons here in the NVA stores. I've never picked them up but hearing the good reviews I'll have to give it a spin! Thx. for the info!

This is for the picture only. They have these at my Mike's, but I only bought 1 set for my daughter this time.
The pic's of these are the ones I got the first time they had them the ones I just found a few days ago are different. I do have 16 different ones if anyone is interested in buying them. Who ever PM's me first will get them. Thanks
For anyone who was wondering about these in Wisconsin stores - they have lots at the store in Wausau (or at least they did when I was there earlier today).
I love the $1.00 clear stamps. I always buy any that I don't have because you never know when you will need that odd stamp. I just made a baby card today and I used the saying "welcome little one" that was in one of these sets. Guess I need to go to Michael's tomorrow.
Yes, I went to my Michaels last week and they had a TON of the first and second set of these clear stamps. I'd seen the pink set there before, but never the original 16. Got them all this time! Also, was at my JoAnn's today and they restocked their set of 10 studio g's as well. Guess they're all getting shipments around now...
WOWZA, went to Mikes yesterday and in the bottom bin were a gob of $1 acrylics!!! I sat on the floor for a good 20 minutes sorting and choosing! I found 32 different sets and bought ALL of them! Before I left, I wanted to switch them to the top bin but the store clerks were already giving me the evil eye for blocking the aisle with my piles. BTW, I had a blast!!
Thanks, Mikes. You have renewed my faith in you!!
Keep searching sistahs - look high and low!!!

If you have a AC Moore, check there too. They have a different set of 12. Ours still had some the other day. They are in the dollar section, not with the normal dollar rubber stamps.

I found them today!!! for the 1st time! (Tucson) I love the teeny acrylic blocks. Do they just have 2 sizes of blocks? Mine were pretty picked over but I found all the ones in the ebay link above from holo3850. (Thanks for the pics!) My store definitely didn't have 32 different ones.
These sets are the best and I use them all the time! I was lucky enough to find them again and bought extras for those who can't find them. I have complete first sets (16+2 acrylic blocks) and complete second sets (16+2 acrylic blocks). PM me if you are interested.
I have seen three different size blocks...and have been lucky finding the sets I like....I hope they get some new wood ones soon too! Here are some cards I made using the newer clear dollar set stamps from Mikes by Hampton Arts Studio G All Boy Dollar Stamps by StampGroover at Splitcoaststampers
