Where to buy cheap and geeky toys/favors?

Okay, so i need to buy about 30 small toys or items to give away. The criteria are:

- Less than $1.00 a piece.

- Smaller than palm-size.

- More to the anime end of geeky.

Examples of things i've previously given away: cell phone charms, Japanese candy, and grows-in-water anatomically correct hearts.

Any suggestions are much appreciated, especially if you know where to get them online. Thanks!

Update:

I should have said: please, not Oriental Trading. I've ordered a lot of stuff from them over the years, and sadly, it's all crap. >.<

    If you're looking for Japanese candy or snack items, I suggest you check out the food products Wizzywig Collectibles sells. If you're into slightly weird (and slightly more expensive) trinkets, I suggest you check out Bucky's Boneyard. There you can find body part key chains and finger bone pens for $1.95. Wicked Cool Stuff also sells some novelty items for $1.95 (I know, slightly more than your $1.00 per piece spending limit, but maybe you could fit it in your budget). I've purchased numerous products from all the above sellers many times and have been pleased with the merchandise I've ordered. Good luck in your search and thanks for your question!

    Not sure if this is quite what you want, but for a certain friend's b-day party we each chipped in $20 and cleaned out those vending machines at the supermarket that have random stuff; rub-on tattoos, keychains, candy, dolls, toys, bouncy-balls. Each plastic bubble is like a tiny present already wrapped! It was nerd-tastic! :D

    If you want some weirs stuff, I can recommend a catalog. I haven't gotten anything from them in awhile, so I can't make any suggestions. Their stock is always changing. Good luck. Have fun looking.

    Well any local dollar store loves to sell that stuff and you're sure to find it either a dollar or less.
