Just checked my calendar. I captured the first day I saw the new sets last year
- Dec. 14th, Redwood City Toys R Us. Based on the rollouts of various sets, it
seems to take about a week for new sets to make their way across the continent.
So depending on where you live, it could be anywhere from one day to a week
from when they are first spotted in the LIC stores. (That assumes, of course,
that you live in one of the lower 48 United States.) Toys R Us seems to get
them a little earlier than Target or Walmart. Don't know about KB, since that
chain is not so prevalent here in the SF Bay Area.
