Heh.  I am of course delighted to see Mega Bloks being represented in the famous
Sears Wishbook.  I'll need to take a look to see if they have any unusual sets,
as they have in the past.  Additionally, Sears/KMart had a general product line
called JustKidz last year, and construction sets by the Cobi/Best-Lock brand
were released under that label at KMart; I wonder if they'll do the same this
year?

But if it makes you feel any better, a quick, unofficial sampling of local
stores (here in western PA) shows a much stronger LEGO presence this year than
last.  TRU alone seems to have more than doubled its shelf-space, and Target
carries a much greater volume of LEGO products than Mega Bloks.

FWIW.

Dave!

I cannot believe it, but it is true. I get home to see the Sears Wishbook. And just like I always do, I opened it up to the back and look at the toys. I think, what exclusive LEGO sets do they have this year. But... I could not find any LEGO at all (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-07, to lugnet.loc.ca) !
