Something else may have happened to all that LEGO.
In recent weeks much of that Lego has gone on clearance. Up to 75% off. I
spent the better part of the last several weeks going from store to store
clearing the shelves of most of the stock.
These include 4 Media Play stores, Meijer, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc.
In all I purchased close to $1,000.00 worth of LEGO for just over $300.00.
After most of these clean out sessions, I found that Mega Blok's had been
moved into those spaces. When those stores receive the new consignments of
LEGO product, the Mega-Blok's will be moved back to original spaces.
