About once every month or two, I make the rounds of all the Wal-Marts and
K-Marts in the area. As you know, these two chains plus Toys R Us make up
the bulk of the LEGO experience in Charleston. We have a little at the
regular KB Toys in Northwood Mall, Tuesday Mornings, and Big Lots, but KB is
so overpriced and the other two have so little, I don't ususally stop there
(only when they get their big Christmas toy shipment in).
No ZB. No Target (though I've heard roumors we are getting one in West
Ashley - sometime). No other major chains.
