(...) It was interesting to note that other Google alerts that I got yesterday gave links to stories that were more like what you describe above. I guess it might be all in how you interpret the numbers. Although things may still not be fantastic, (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)

(...) Same here in Charleston, SC. However, Target still has an excellent LEGO selection and while they're not as widespread as WalMart, they seem to have a few stores in every region (I'm not sure about the Boone area though). -Orion (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) FWIW, my local Wal*Mart (western PA) just added a bunch of Star Wars EPIII stuff to its LEGO aisle, while the MegaBloks inventory has remained about the same for several months. I know that MegaBloks has new sets coming out within a month or (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) It's a nationwide trend, from what I've heard. WalMart has been gradually favoring MegaBloks for various reasons, and not purchasing as much Lego. Mainly, I think it's due to WalMart's analysis software which helps them predict what will sell (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) I find the same thing here in Vermont. It's getting to the point where it's almost impossible to buy Lego retail. WalMart had a few Duplo tubs and Bionicle, and then the rest of the "Lego" aisle was full of MegaBloks. Same story at K-Mart. At (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) No, that would be perfectly fine. Currently I'm not sure what is formally scheduled for the morning hours of Friday, but due to the nature of the GBC, modules can (& will) be added anytime they come in. Detailed schedules have not yet been (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.events.houseofbricks)

(...) Hi Bram, I'm not much of a ray tracing expert, but this is an issue that even LEGO has addressed. When I look at building instructions by LEGO, they translate black parts to a dark gray, almost the same color as the original dark gray. Many (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

I live in a small town in western North Carolina and I often travel to nearby towns and cities to look for deals on Lego in places like Wal*mart. Lately, I've noticed a disturbing trend. The stores in the following cities have *very little* Lego on (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

you can use omniwheels, like the ones from Charmed Labs: (URL) only sell the single-row ones, but the double-row ones ((URL) can be adapted to Lego robots quite easily. You can also combine two single-row ones to work like a double, but it's a bit (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
