I ran around Rochester, NY yesterday and found very little compared to 2-4 years
ago.
Targets:
$25 Durmstrang Ship (#4768, $50), only 2 of them at 1 Target (I got 1)
$13 Battle Wagon (#8874, $20), only 1 between 2 Targets...
$13 Duplo Purple Bucket (#5352, $20), only 1 between 2 Targets
And Thomas the Train stuff
So, I saw less than 10 sets clearanced between 2 Targets...
K-Mart:
No clearanced Lego, in fact, the only K-Mart here had I think _2_ Lego sets...
Wal-Mart
Some $30 Spider-Man set and some other $30 set for $21. Pretty leveled
otherwise.
Toys 'R Us:
Clearanced? Sale? Do they ever? I don't remember if they do, but not now...
Between 2 Toys 'R Us' stores, _0_ Viking Sets, and for Harry Potter they had
Rescue from the MErpeople and The Durmstrang Ship (No Graveyard Duel or
Hungarian Horntails).
Lots of new Exo-Force.
Every place had a bunch of Bionacle (Visorak Battle Rams, Battle of Metru Nui),
and KKII sets (Vladek's Dark Fortress, Fireball Catapult), at regular price, as
well as Dino-Attack and a smattering of SW:Episode III sets (Clone Turbo Tank,
ARC-170 Starfighter, General Grievous Chase).
No Viking sets makes me sad, as I still need to get the small boat :(

So, are these the types of questions Jake might be able to answer? I was
curious as to why there is so little Lego left at many stores, and was hoping it
was a sign that Lego did well at least!
