Most of the stores here (in Co. Spgs) suck. We've got three Targets, two of
which are alright (the Lego aisles are shared with K'Nex and other "building
toys.") We've got three Walmarts, which all pretty much suck... but they
are a good source for clearance sets (if you can get there in time.) The
TRU we've got is actually pretty good, it has a large area devoted to Legos,
with seperate areas for Megablocks, K'Nex, etc (so you don't have to look at
that crap while you're shoppin' for Legos... ;) It got the LOM and Studio
sets in around the same time as TRUs everywhere, but they still don't have
any of the new SW sets. We've also got a Zany Brainy which used to have a
good selection but reduced their stock of Legos to only about three shelves
on an end cap. The K-Marts we have are almost not worth mentioning, nor are
the Kay-Bee Toy Stores, except that you can almost always find some old sets
at 'em.
Overall I'd say the best bets are still Target and TRU. These are the
stores where I always find the new sets... the others all seem to lag
behind, but are good for getting clearance items.
