Very poor pickings in southern California. Walmart and K-Mart are extremely
picked over with little to go on sale, so I doubt there will be much.
Target had 30% off for maybe a week and nothing much is left. Pathetic.
Perhaps they were more conservative on their stocking this year (or Lego
sold like crazy). I really don't anticipate any particular great sales, sad
to say. The only place I found good bargains of 75-85% off were at Legoland
(filled my car's tiny trunk up).
