Just in case you're keeping notes, I'd like to go on record to say that the
Walmarts here in Colorado Springs suck (actually, I can only comment on one,
but usually the others can be judged by one.) I went to Walmart last night
to see what kind of stock they had... their shelves were almost completely
bare. It looked to me like no effort had been taken to fill the shelves.
It wouldn't be a big deal, except they've been this way since Christmas...
it's been almost a month and their shelves are STILL empty.
TRU on the other hand, while not having any 2001 SW sets, has kept their
shelves stocked with LOM and others.
Target seems to be somewhere in the middle... they have semi-stocked shelves
and on occasion they have some 2001 SW sets.
