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 Swanberg Specials (Millenium Falcon) for 69.98.
Here’s the oddity...those stores that had KK on clearance, only had the
smallest sets on clearance. Wierd.

ALL the stores are like this, not just Target. I think the stores stocked
less due to economic concerns...the Lego aisles at Wal-Mart and KayBee were
picked over two weeks before Christmas. Bleh, and I was so looking forward
to actually having money for the sales this year.

Yeah, I’m guessing that everyone was tired of constantly putting LEGO on
clearance, and finally ordered less this year. It is kind of strange that the
shrinkage has been so consistent over different retailers.
Or maybe TLC is paying for less shelf space this year, and retailers are drawing
down their stock for the smaller space? Maybe the recent job cuts have reduced
TLC’s manufacturing capacity?
