From what i can tell a big reason you don't find much Kingdoms is they stopped shipping from LEGO a while before last Christmas. I'd have gotten more of the second wave sets if they had been available longer... But that's the price we pay for LOTR, although I'm not sure I wanted to pay said price, while they look neat and will be good parts fodder for castle it just NOT Castle, it's LOTR.
Most places that still have Kingdoms are likely the one that either don't have 'decent' sales in any or are places most folks don't think 'I can buy my LEGO there'. If I think hey I want to go look at LEGO sets i think, TRU, Target, Wal-Mart my local LEGO store etc, not say Barnes and Noble or Microcenter or Aldi's or where-ever. While I know these places carry LEGO, some of them seasonally, they are rarely my first stop.....
