I ask because in the TRU's I have visited I have found some old Star Wars sets on clearance and some like Watto's Junkyard and Gungan Sub still at full price. The clearance seems hit or miss at (...)

Howdy Bob!! (...) I was there today. The one back drop was indeed $14.99. They also had an Studios "Exploding Bank" for $19.99. Also not that great of a deal, but certainly has some great parts.

Noone really looks at the top shelves (not normal people, at least), however, (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) Jake is correct about the old stock. I found 2-6478 Fire Fighter HQ at a TRU about a month and a half ago. The manager was happy to let them go for $10.00 each. Of course, that was in addition to the 2 loaded carts I purchased. Steven Weiser (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

My local WM just reset their shelves and they had the AT-TE's. I'm not sure if they had the AT-AT or not - I wasn't specifically looking for that set. Their website has both the AT-TE and AT-AT.
