Yep, late last night after work I decided to go hunting. First to Kohl's.
Their shelves were empty last weekend and apparently they got a shipment but
no Star Wars, just tons of Adventurers and Space. Ok, off to Target next
door. They just opened last weekend and their stock was full, looked like it
wasn't even dented after their grand opening. No Star Wars. OK, over to
Walmart. Hey, look, pretty new display for the Throwbots, didn't someone say
that with some Throwbot display came the SW sets too? Round the corner, still
looked messy from the weekend. Look left, nope. Look right, nope. Look up
right, nope. Look up left, hmmm, whats that all the way on the top shelf in
the corner by the Knex stuff? Wholly Moses!
In an area about 1.5 feet wide they had their stock on the top shelf with no
large sets facing forward. All you could see was the sides of the boxes
except for the Bikes and Land Speeders. They were crammed up top so I think I
was the first to see them. I threw my jacket on the ground and was getting
ready to scale the metal construction before me to get to the top shelf when I
heard an employee say, "you can't do that....you will have to get a ladder."
I waited patiently as she gradually found one and brought down one set at a
time for me. I picked up one of each only but was seriously tempted to pick
up a couple more. They got a total of 2 Ywings, 3 Xwings, about 6 or 8 Snow
Speeders, and around 10 or so of the Speeder Bikes and Land Speeders. I
couldn't believe the little area they stuffed them in on the top shelf. If
these things were eye level, there is no way they would still be around.
Anyhow, this was at the Lawrenceville Walmart off of Route 1 near Best Buy and
across from Quakerbridge Mall. Happy hunting.

PS-guess I was wrong about NJ being last all the time. My bad.
