It definitely dried up here, after the holidays.  Most Walmarts and Targets
cleared it out.  Even at TRU, which generally carries large Lego sets
year-round, had poor stock throughout the spring and early summer.  I
noticed that they re-appeared at area TRUs (San Francisco, CA) about a month
or two ago.  I don't recall seeing them appear at Targets this season, yet--
I wonder if SW sales are just too low for them to be interested.

Follow-up comments: I noticed that the Falcon reappeared at my area Zany
Brainy (mid-size toy retailer in the US), presumably for the holiday season.
Target stores appear to have finished the first major wave of holiday
reset-- I looked at one area store with lots of new Lego on the shelves, and
there was no shelf tag for this item that I could see.

(...) Pretty good-- very good last holiday season. It was available at TRU right upon release (mid summer last year), and at Walmart, Target, and other major retailers a couple months after as the fall stock built up. (...) It definitely dried up (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)
