Who knows? Knowing my luck, I will look for them in one place, and they
will sell out in the other. FYI, I talked to one of my friends that
works in the Meijer toy department, and he said they have all the sets
in, and will be putting them out on May 2nd/3rd as well. So for the
folks in the Meijer territory, it might be a good alternative to TRU.

| I got the same info from the Sprfld, IL TRU and Wal-Mart. Looks like I'll be at TRU May 2 at 11PM (just to make sure I'm first in line). Has anyone heard if they'll be putting SW Lego sets with the rest of the SW stuff, or in the Lego aisle? -John (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
