LEGO 2010
Keonobi:
Yeah, I've picked up a bunch at Target over the last few years.
I was in KMart the other day with my son. They've had one of last year's sets on the clearance isle for a month or two (its the one with Han on a TaunTaun, a couple Rebels and two Snowtroopers), but never quite cheap enough where I was willing to bite (I already had the set, but I could use a couple more troops and Luke needs a TaunTaun too...). So I scanned the price ($15 something...) and my son HAD to have the set. He's not big into LEGO, so I tried to show him a few other things he might want instead (Imaginext plane or a Megablocks Dora set...), but he had to have the LEGO Star Wars set.
I had a hard time convincing my Wife that it really was my son's decision, but I couldn't help but be proud!

Picked up the Emperor's Shuttle for roughly $30 after the sale and the $20 in giftcards I had at TRU. I think all I want/need now is a good deal on the AT-AT and Cad Bane's Speeder set at Target then I'm set for the next round.

I was at WM today and taking a look at that Landspeeder set that's been tempting me for awhile, and noticed they had another one of those "MIDI" scale sets (like last year's Falcon). It was a Star Destroyer set, and although I certainly don't follow LEGO super closely, I hadn't heard of it/seen it before. I was wondering if this and the Falcon were the only two done in this "scale" so far? I've always wanted to get into the LEGO sets, and really don't have the space or money to get the larger sets, so I thought this scale might be a way to go (especially if there is only one or two a year). Anyways, I was pretty happy with the Falcon last year, and thought it was nicely done. Just passing it along for anyone interested (EDIT: it is on Wal-Mart.com

Correct. These are the only 2 midi-scale LEGO ships thus far. I bought the Falcon last year when it was on sale for $25 since I didn't have any other versions of the ship. I would have picked up this SD on sale for $32 which is normally $40, but I already have the 6211 set, not the big UCS mind you. My rule with LEGO is to only buy 1 (if any) of any given SW vehicle - no matter the size except for those lil mini bagged sets at Target around Easter or whenever. Those are always welcome. Kinda glad I didn't get into this stuff till 07-08...it's really an extra added burden on the collecting dollars, but they make great toys.
Keonobi:
My local WM was clearing out their very old LEGO sets and I picked up the Clone Walker battlepack for $5.50. 50% discount is pretty good for WM.
I also bought the motorized AT-AT at the local Goodwill for $35. I guess it was a donated item, as opposed to overstock from a local store, as the instructions had some wear & tear and a couple pieces were missing. It didn't have the snowtrooper, General Veers or Speeder-Luke and was missing a piece from a cheek gun and another from one of the feet. I had similar or exact replacements for both in my loose LEGO collection from when I was little. I have extra snowtroopers, Lukes and probably Veers from battlepacks, etc. I've picked up other times.
Both of my sons (2&4) LOVE the walking action! They got such a big kick out of it when I was finally done building the set. A great way to spend a snow day!
