I went to Wal-Mart again tonight, needed to get some soda/pop/liquid
refreshment... and I looked around for anything left of the lego sets
and there were none.. at least after I left.. I got the LAST landspeeder
set.. that's all that was left of all the lego they had.. 1
landspeeder.. So looks like the shortages will be rampant again when it
comes to 20% off sales...  My Walmart never even tried to clear off the
reg lego shelves for any left over stock, I think they knew there
wouldn't be anything left to move...
I haven't checked K-Mart yet to see if they had anything left, the last
time I was there they had a good lot, though not as much as Wal-Mart had
so I'm figuring they are pretty bare too..
Glad I got all the sets I wanted and some dups of stuff when I could!  I
don't think we are going to be seeing a lot more of these sets hitting
the shelves for a while to come :(

I am glad to see TLG had a better distribution pattern in Michigan this time. The only set (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
