FWIW, my local Wal*Mart (western PA) just added a bunch of Star Wars EPIII stuff
to its LEGO aisle, while the MegaBloks inventory has remained about the same for
several months. I know that MegaBloks has new sets coming out within a month or
so, but in my area at least the LEGO inventory seems to be holding strong at
Wal*Mart. Target has recently built up its LEGO aisle, as well.
