I just spoke with a lady at Lego Consumer Affairs and she gave me the scoop.
The sets will only be available at grocery and drug stores. Lego does not plan
on distributing them to the larger retail chains(Wal Mart, Target, etc.) The
names of the companies that have "ordered" these sets are below. Please forgive
my misspelling: (By the way, I have no geographic data on the location of these
stores.)

Buehlers
Super Value
E-Z Gregory
Winn Dixie
Mills Fleet
Kings
Dynamic Distribution
Wakeburn Food Corp.

I was also told that these sets may pop up in different stores. Seeing as how
they were released on Aug 15, I'm sure they will. You can contact consumer
affairs for updated store info. (1-800-422-5346)

Happy Hunting,
Todd

I'm hoping that the last listing is spelled wrong... If it is "Wakefern Food Corp." Then they might be near me... they are called "Foodtown" around my part of New Jersey, I think. -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Hossbach" (...)

After my initial posting, I visited the local Buehlers and Save-A-Lot (Supervalu) stores and needless to say they didn't have any sets on their shelves and the managers of the stores looked at me as though I was crazy when I asked if they were going (...)

  Some Info about Lego castle "chrome" sets
 
Hi everyone, Well in hopes of finding the sets, I e-mailed customer service of ShopRite. I gave them the set numbers and asked them if they had any knowledge of these sets.
