| (...) I went to one of my local Wal-Mart's today as well, but found no SW sets. We have no Target stores in my area. We have a Super KMart, but every time I look there, the Lego shelf space seems to be shrinking. That leaves really only Wal-Mart and (...)

|
| Hmmm, there's a Target having a grand opening celebration in town tomorrow. I was there the second day they opened, no SW, but they did have an unusual amount of Duplo race sets. They had it set up to be 11 boxes across, 2 boxes deep. A real big (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.market.shopping)

| I won't bore everyone with all the details of how I went to WalMart hoping they'd have the Shanghai Surprise set in, and was dissappointed. I won't even go into how I looked up onto the overstock and got an incredible surprise at seeing the LEGO (...)

| | | | | Getting the sets at TRU...
|
| There might be a mojor difficulty in getting any SW sets at TRU from their first shipment. It is a common problem with SW toys in general, especialy the 4" figures. In my area at least, finding a new SW figure is not possible at TRU until second (...) (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| What a shock! S@H in the US indicated that on normal items they receive a very small percentage of the actual sets produced, however on Star Wars sets they did increase their initial "orders" and since have increased them even more. I was one of (...) (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
