[US] Target Summer 2012 clearance

krklint

@HELLRAZR-28, I'm in the Miami area, and what has been placed on markdown in some stores has not been constant in the Miami area. Seems like some stores are not lowering the SW lines at all. 3 weeks ago the store south of me went to 30% off, yet the one just north of me still has not marked down the same sets. Trust me, if they were marked down, they might be on my building table :)

I'm out in St. Louis, MO. Between today and yesterday I hit up nearly every Target in my area. Not a terrible haul. I wound up with

2 x Minotaur board games for $6.xx a piece, found a few stores with a lot of these
Heroica Walduck Forest $6.xx
Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship $24.xx (Quite awesome, I was plesently surprised)
Tripod Invader $9.xx
Alien Mothership $29.xx

I was hoping to find the Dino HQ pretty cheap, only one Target in my area had it on clearance, and it was only 30% off, came out to $80, they had a couple, so I'm going to keep checking back, but there really wasn't a whole lot still out there. This haul was from a LOT of stores, and I only really got 1 item at each store I went to, there was that little left.

I finally made it to Target, sw Houston, dug around to find AC Tripod Invader for 9.98 and HP Forbidden Forest for 5.98. Nothing else notable and no other AC or HP sets, and the SW sets like Ewok Attack scanned at full price.

Last week my Target (Billings,MT) had the Podracers at $76.50 and the Planet Series Naboo Fighter at $4.98, can't remember the other sets. But I checked back again tonight and all the Podracers were gone as well as the other sets. All they had was 2 Planet Series Naboo Fighters left. =/ They did have the summer sets in stock except no Jabba's Palace(didn't see sticker for it) and a sold out Skiff shelf.

I hit two local Targets this morning. Found 2x POTC Mills for 50% off and 1x Alien Mothership for 50% (but with a big hole in the box). Other than that, nothing else of note. There was one QAR and two BPs, but they all rang up at full price. All of the other sets that people have been finding (Bounty Hunter Gunship, Ewok Attack, Podracers, etc) were available, but with no discount.

Creator cabin for $10.97 and EwokAttack for $5.98 were my finds today.

@HELLRAZR_28 - Are you in Broward? I've tried the Targets at Commercial & University, Oakland Park and Federal and the one at Sawgrass and they had NOTHING on clearance. All of the POTC and Alien Conquest was sold out and nothing else was clearanced. I take that back, the Sawgrass store had about 12 AC JetCopters. If you find some Dino, please let me know.

I'd love to find some Dino stuff on clearance. I need a T-Rex Hunter and an Ocean Interceptor and I'll probably pick some dupes for when my son is old enough. What young boy doesn't like dinosaurs. :-)

I'll keep an eye out for any other clearance stuff for you.

@krklint - see my comment about to Hellrazr_28. Not much here in Broward. I may still try a couple other places and will let you know what I find. It couldn't hurt to have more eyes out there.

@Bosstone100, Hellrazr_28 is in the Hammocks area. The Kendall Target had zero lego today! The store is revamping about 3-4 aisles of toys, and I was told (July 31st) that the Lego was removed to upgrade displays. I'm hoping this means that more than Alien Conquest is on sale when they finish. The Cutler Bay Target is really fast to place items on sale, and so they've been clear out of good pickings for at least 2 weeks... but mainly the Jet-Copter on sale in our neighborhood (I picked up 4 of them cuz I love that shade of blue).

@Bosstone100 I live in Dade County (well, Tallahassee really, but I'm home for the summer) and the Target closest to me (Kendall Drive) had some Dino stuff a week ago, but I don't remember it being clearanced.

@krklint Yeah, I swung by the store today around 3:00 and the LEGO aisle had vanished. I was really confused! Maybe the store took down the LEGO to mark some of it as clearance for Thursday?

krklint

@HELLRAZR_28 We were in the store, then, at the same time. I'm hoping a clearance... but I'm thinking just a new layout of the aisle, with updated display boxes. I've met Lego representatives in stores before, and they do visit stores that are underselling... or as in the Kendall store... finding other brick brands filtering into the Lego branded zone. I'll be there Thursday to see how it looks :)

@HELLRAZR_28, The remodel is done, but I don't see anything marked down that I thought would be. There were 3 Queen Ann's revenge before, and not now... so they must have gone. I did land a Cool Cruiser 5767 for $12... buried in the clearance aisle. Was hoping there would be a fully stocked Lego aisle now :(

HELLRAZR_28

@krklint Yeah, I called four Target stores around me today and none had dropped the Falcon at all. I suppose I'll just have to wait until next week and try again. And my friend that works at Target (in Gainesville) says his store was also reorganizing its toy department, so it's not necessarily an indicator of a coming clearance or anything.

I tried another Target today near the Astrodome. I scanned everything, and found nothing on sale. Nothing buried in the clearance isle either. They had a lot of new sets out though!
