If anything I think LEGO is a bit ahead of some other manufacturers in embracing

Interesting observation. In the past ~8 months I have noticed a major change in
the store-stocking attitude of TRU. Stores which used have shelves oveflowing

Maybe in your location but here in Charleston, SC the TRU employees bring new
meaning to rude and incompetent (so much for so called "southern hospitality")
and the stores are still trying to sell old sets with damaged boxes at full
