TLG needs a better Lego police force. Here in upstate New York, my local
North Utica Walmart has both Lego and megabloks sets on the shelves. The
thing is, unlike a year ago, when there was a clear distinction between an
aisle of Lego sets and another of megabloks, now they are on the same set of
shelves.

You’re not alone. The TRU stores in the Vancouver area (BC, Canada) are like
that too. LEGO used to take up one entire aisle, but now their space has
decreased to about 50% with the remaining space being taken up by Megabloks
or Best Lock! That *really* irritates me. Maybe I should just take the LEGO
products and put them in amongst the clone-brands.

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.)

Well, the K-mart I work at (I do restoration (cleaning up shelves and putting
stock in the right place) for some odd reason, has all the lego in exactly the
right place :D
the M*******s are behind the next aisle!
cheers,
Matt
