their LEGO department looked like it had been hit by a school bus.

Same situation at both my local K-Marts. The entire toy section looks
horrible. But this can also be an advantage for us LEGO collectors. Alot of
the old sets in my K-Marts stay hidden because children do not look behind the
mess of junk. I have taken advantage of this situation many times before, so
check your local K-Mart really well, because you never know what you may
find! :)
