Well, that may explain what I saw at 2 stores I was at this past week. They had no Lego. Well, I shouldn't say no Lego. One of the stores had one Lego item in the store, an older FreeStyle Bucket, in the clearance isle. I noticed it didn't have the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Ok, here's a thought that is probably not going to be shared by many: I think S@H should limit quantity purchases on the specials. eToys did it with their anniversary buckets and tubs, 10 each to a customer, that seems fair.
