(...) I can echo everyone else's sentiments. The 11 Targets I've been to have either been picked clean or had most of what you've all mentioned. In addition, most Racers sets and the 4096 tubs are on clearance as well. At one store, I found a few (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Making more money / less in debt this year? You're not the only one I think. IIRC Jake mentioned that LEGO just didn't make enough sets.

So, I hit 3 more area Targets today.... 1 had lots of (new) Lego (the new Classic Star Wars was what I most noticed), while the other 2 had... well, the line from the person working the Toy section should sum it up... Me: Excuse me, but do you have (...) (19 years ago, 4-Jan-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)
