We don't have 7-11's around ehre, but I did notice that Discount Drug Mart
had a freestanding display of Lego once.

The odd thing is, it was of a $6 Res-Q set 2962 (Life Guard Res-Q), which I
had never seen at any other store!

Go figure....

About two months ago, I noticed that a 7-11 here in the Arlington, Va area • was
selling a Lego set in their small "toy" section. It was #1271, for about • $3. I
quickly checked something like 25 more 7-11's, and about 6 were selling a • set
each. Always just one, and either #1271 (Adventures Jungle Surprise) or • #1096
(race cart).

I, of course, bought them all.  They have never been restocked. The sheer
convenience of buying Lego at a 7-11 made me very happy. For years and • years I
have checked every store that has any toy selection at all for Lego's, and
normally the drug stores/convenience stores/grocery, etc, never ever do. • They
seemed confined to official Toy Stores.

Never mind that the sets were not really that useful - how can I have a • race
with 3 cars all labeled #2?. But anyway, has anyone else seen this?
