K-Mart
Locations: CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT
Phone: 800-355-6388
Who doesn't know what K-Mart is? You'll probably find that the selection between stores can vary greatly and the toy asiles are usually scattered across the floor. If there's a Toys R Us nearby, you'll probably find some discontinued sets, otherwise the stock will get rotated rather quickly. The prices are usually average and 20% off sales happen periodically. K-Mart does carry large-size Lego sets, unlike some other department stores.

There aren't many of these stores around, but if you come across one, it might be worth stopping in. The prices are higher than usual, as with other educational-type stores, but some of these have been known to have a few discontinued sets in stock.

Shelburne Toy & Hobby
Locations: Shelburne, VT
Phone: 802-985-8592
Before the Toys R Us opened in South Burlington, this was the largest Lego retailer in Vermont. The owner claims to move more Lego than Toys R Us. There is a fairly good selection, but it's at full retail. He has stuff Toys R Us doesn't and vice-versa.

The Toy Shop of Concord
Locations: Concord, MA
Phone: 508-369-2553
This isn't a chain...in fact, there's only one store. There is usually a good selection of current sets and the store has been known to recieve new sets before some of the larger stores. The owner of this small toy shop in Concord, MA takes phone orders and will ship across the country if he has what you're looking for.
