I went to bluelight.com to try to find anything about BOGO sales[1].  No
luck.  But while I was there I went to the "Lego Brand Store".  This link
is what I see:
http://www.kmart.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=1130658
The Lego image at the top rather looks like it came from TLC. . .it's
composed of R2-D2, Jango Fett's Slave I, and. . .6074.

???!!!???!!!???!!???

[1] When was the last time Kmart had a BOGO 50%?  I'd really like to get
some 4105s (Kmart is, AFAIK, the only retailer in my area that carries
4105), but the way things are going Kmart will be back to empty shelves
again while I'm waiting. . .

(...) Erm, I don't get it... Lego sorta said they were planning on releasing most, if not all of the sets that had been on the voting page... Its just a matter of time before it is released. Jeff (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

  6074 probably NOT a legend.. was: Does Kmart know something we don't?
 
I'm going on the record as saying they may know something we don't. I hope they do!! That would be fantastic. This is my theory. The "Legend" line is a TLC only product. Meaning we don't see them sold anywhere else, only lego stores or online (I say (...) (22 years ago, 7-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'll throw my 2 cents in here, retailers DO know stuff in advance, the lead times are huge. Some stores have their Holiday toy setup done already, others will be doing it soon. The orders are long over with for the most part, I once heard that (...) (22 years ago, 7-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)
