The question: are small Wal-Mart stores scalling back on Lego
Background: on my various buying circuits, I visit WalMarts of all sizes, from
the newest mega-centers, to the original small town WalMarts. The other day, I
visited one of those 'original' stores and found that there was almost no Lego
product. The only item with a shelf slot was one of the creator buckets. Nor was
there any Duplo / Primo being sold there. Everything that remained, including
some of the small Ogel sets, were on an end-cap being clearanced. At another
store, the toy dept had product, but no shelf slots for it. All of the newer
Lego product was stuffed up on an overhead. I asked the toy dept lady about
that, but she showed a desire not to want to discuss the subject other than
"they didn't give me any palce to put it". Two other 'original' stores did have
the usual small-store stock of Lego product.
Anyone else noticing this ?

| (...) As a follow-up to this message, I visited this same store again yesterday. They now have some of the HP Lego sets (in the HP display), but nothing else (other than an empty slot for the creator buckets). Ray (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
