| Steve & All, You know what else is funny is the Meijer's located about 10 miles where I found then didn't have any! Go figure, I sent my roommate out to find them since I have been here at work since 8:00AM Sunday morning. UGGHH!!! Scott Sanburn (...)

|
| I just went to look around a few stores in Ann Arbor, Michigan, after the post about Walmart in Mass. I went and looked in TRU, and Target, and they didn't have any in. I went to Meijer since I was across the street, and they had all the sets there! (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)

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)

| | | | | 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)
