Actually, Kmart is worse. In the stores I visit, the few Lego sets are
interspersed among the vast quantities of MegaBloks, BTR, and K'nex. Not
just on the same shelf, but with the competition above and below Lego
product, and sometimes on both sides. And that's by design on Kmart's
part---the sets are just being placed where the stickers were placed on
the shelves. (Well, usually---I mean, it's Kmart; you can only expect the
product to be in the general area corporate said to put it.)
