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 Star Wars sets up there. I won't waste your time telling how I searched the toy aisle to try to find ones at floor level and eventually hauled a bucket of kitty litter over to stand on so I could reach the sets. Oh, heck, I just did all that, didn't I? Anyway, the subject says most of it. They had the Landspeeder, the Speeder Bikes and the Snowspeeder (all of which I got) and also the X-Wing (which I decided not to get this time as I am trying to limit my spending.) I didn't see the Y-Wing/TIE set there, though. I'm a bit surprised that there were so few of the sets, and that they were hidden away the way they were. Maybe I actually snagged some WalMart worker's secret stash? J

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 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 (...)
