Finally.

Yesterday (Monday) I hit the Kmart/Target/WalMart/TRU cluster in east Mesa,
with no luck.
Lately, I have been entirely skipping the WalMart and Kmart that is near to me,
as they _always_ seem to be lagging behind in toy availability - this area
(Apache Junction) being a haven for retirees and snowbirds.

Well, I thought I would check the nearby stores - just in case.
Kmart, as usual, had next to nothing.  The entire Lego section is two feet
wide, with four shelves.  Almost entirely taken up by tiny $4 to $6 dollar sets
and a few Duplo/Primo.   Truly a pathetic store.

The WalMart - against all odds/expectation/logic/past history - *HAD* some Star
Wars sets.   Boy, was I stunned.
They had X-Wings, Snowspeeders, Landspeeders, and Speederbikes.
But only 2 of the X-Wing and 4 of the Snowspeeders.  So I bought a single
X-Wing and Snowspeeder.

Now, to go check these out.  :-)
