Interesting - the Kroger grocery store around the corner from my house has
had some LEGO sets in the cereal aisle (of all places) for a couple of
months. They had a bi-wing blaster, an insectoid set, and a small Ninja
set. When I first saw them I figured they must have picked some surplus
from a toy wholesaler or something so I expected them to be discounted.
Their prices were $1-$2 higher than Wal-Mart! I first noticed them around
Christmas when they had quite a few of them. Over the months the pile has
dwindled so now there are only one or two of each set. Somebody is buying
them although I don't know why at the price.
