I won't bore everyone with all the details of how I went to
WalMart hoping they'd have the Shanghai Surprise set in, and
was dissappointed.  I won't even go into how I looked up onto
the overstock and got an incredible surprise at seeing the
LEGO Star Wars sets up there.  I won't waste your time telling
how I searched the toy aisle to try to find ones at floor level
and eventually hauled a bucket of kitty litter over to stand on
so I could reach the sets.  Oh, heck, I just did all that, didn't
I?

Anyway, the subject says most of it.  They had the Landspeeder,
the Speeder Bikes and the Snowspeeder (all of which I got) and
also the X-Wing (which I decided not to get this time as I am
trying to limit my spending.)  I didn't see the Y-Wing/TIE set
there, though.

I'm a bit surprised that there were so few of the sets, and that
they were hidden away the way they were.  Maybe I actually snagged
some WalMart worker's secret stash?

Hmmm, there's a Target having a grand opening celebration in town tomorrow. I was there the second day they opened, no SW, but they did have an unusual amount of Duplo race sets. They had it set up to be 11 boxes across, 2 boxes deep. A real big (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I went to one of my local Wal-Mart's today as well, but found no SW sets. We have no Target stores in my area. We have a Super KMart, but every time I look there, the Lego shelf space seems to be shrinking. That leaves really only Wal-Mart and (...)
