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.

Here in Amarillo Wal-Mart got the classic SW a full 2 months before TRU did.
I thought it was strange...

The case with the SW last year was an odd one, though. A lot of stores had the
classic stuff in for months but were afraid to put it out because Lucas had
very strict rules governing when the episode 1 sets could be put out. If any
one broke these rules, they wouldn't recieve any more shipments. I lot of
places seemed to just play it safe and not put any SW legos out.  I got mine • at
a KB and went back the next day and they had pulled them all off the shelves.

For what it's worth..last year on Dec. 12th I saw the new sets at TRU & Target.
I bet this Sat. Dec 11th, we'll see some.
