    Does Kmart know something we don't? —Thomas Garrison
   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: (URL) Lego image at the top rather looks like it came from TLC. . .it's composed of R2-D2, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle) ! 
   
        Re: Does Kmart know something we don't? —Pedro Silva
     (...) OMG!!! :-O I hope they DO know more than I do... I mean, I have been trying to get one of those ever since it first came out - but it is really hard to find anywhere for a reasnable price. Now, *that* is what I call a Legend! Pedro (really (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.castle)

         Re: Does Kmart know something we don't? —Scott E. Sanburn
     Jason & All, Interesting. We shall see if they get some some LEGENDS there. As a note, there are some LEGO sets on clearance on their Sales Zone: (URL) few good deals, nothing too exciting.

        Re: Does Kmart know something we don't? —Matt Hein
     (...) Well, I *never* expected to see something like that! Does anyone honestly think the lego legend voting thing was some sort of prelimerary market test?

         Re: Does Kmart know something we don't? —Aaron West
      (...) No, the market test was all the other stuff in the re-released lines from LEGO Direct. Apparently they got together all their collective marketing data and presented the possibility to TLC, the LEGO Parent Company, and then went out to the (...)

        6074 probably NOT a legend.. was: Does Kmart know something we don't? —Erick Jensen
     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)

      (...) Hey, I'm fine with that!!! (*And u ‘ave a good point too.) In fact, Classics are better for me!
