Probably. Almost certainly, I imagine.
Personally, what I found interesting is that there are a *lot* of sets and
themes available for the vendor to order that aren't showing up on shelves.
All of the Knight's Kingdom sets, for example, are still orderable, as well
as Dino Island sets, and 1st run Star Wars (X-wing, Sith, TIE-Y, etc). All
of these are sets that I haven't seen at retail for quite a while, and yet
this seems to indicate that they're still available to retailers.
Kinda puts a new perspective on product turnover when the *retailer* can
still get X-Wing's, and aren't. Maybe LEGO's theme turn-over is due more to
vendor demand for new product than any obscure internal policy (as has been
speculated before). <shrug> I dunno. Maybe when I win the lottery, I'll
buy a toy store and find out for sure. ;)

| (...) Actually, they are a distributor, so I believe they order from Lego, and other stores order from them. I'd guess they have stock of those sets still, rather than them being available from Lego directly. It's just a guess, though. Jeff (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)
