[USA] Target January 2012 Clearance Finds

[Edmond Dantes]

Well, I will say that on Thursday when I stopped, it was about 10:30. I saw no Whitecap Bay's left, but the other 2 sets were out and were only 30% off. So they didn't do as of 10:30 at my Target, anyway.

Also, my Target is going through a huge renovation... taking out some areas, adding a fresh produce area, and shift almost EVERYTHING around... the whole toy aisle was shifted just a bit, but it's slightly different. This may account for my Target doing things a bit differently or being later than usual or something.

Where are you located - my Target is doing the same thing.

Lynchburg VA. I see from your profile you're in Mankato, so we're nowhere near each other.

[intromission]

Man, they're being mean with the Whitecaps around here. I missed all the clearanced ones at Target and the few that have them are keeping them at $79.99. The few Walmarts that have them won't go lower than $59.99.

[ncbarrett]

found a returned Kingdoms Kings Carriage, was 19.99.
Also returned a blacksmith attack in morning i had bought it for 8.48, when i went back later it was 4.98. so i re-bought it at reduced rate.

I found a Meteor Strike that must have been returned. It rang up at $5.90. Bought one a couple weeks ago too at about $9.75 or so.

Target stores here are pretty cleaned out now.

I also found some army men polybags but they rang up at a full $4. Also of note was the Friends sets in both the Lego aisle and the pink girls toys aisle.

Do you have the DPCI code for Meteor Strike from your receipt?

No, sorry. I threw the receipt away. Like I said though, it was probably a return. It was the only one on the shelf, and I don't think the shelf tag was there either.

087-10-1347, although good luck finding it. Two stores close to me keep reporting that its 'available', but I have yet to find them.

[markerpk]

Yeah I was lucky enough to find a single Meteor Strike at one of my local Targets too. Same scenario, just randonly on a shelf, only one. It's a nice find for $6 and my boys and I have a lot of fun playing it.

The clearance isles at most of the targets by me in NY and NJ still have plenty of star wars advent calendars, meteor strikes( at 7.22) and rebel trooper snow packs (7.34) and a handful of other less desirable sets and lots of kruncha, bonezai, and sensei wu spinners.

Nothing left here in Appleton, WI. Even the pyramids are sold out, which surprised me.

[1brickshyofcrazy]

Well I hit 1 jackpot Target at least for the Lego 7327 Pharaoh's Quest Scorpion Pyramid they scanned at $19.98 and at the register they scanned the same so I went back and I grabbed all I could find mainly for the bricks and not for the sets themselves.

This is definitely YMMV as I checked other Targets and had no luck finding them at that price most either had them still $49.98 or none at all.

I popped open most of the boxes already and they're all complete. I had to worry as some were crushed and others looked like may have been opened but lucky they are complete.

Check around you could get lucky as well and again YMMV...

PS - there was nothing else worth mentioning for Target clearance and I think it's starting to finish up - probably this week will be the last - IMO.

Oh wow, $20 for the pyramid! You're lucky. How many did you get at that price? You should make a gigantic pyramid and live out your Richard Dreyfuss Close Encounters of the Third Kind fantasies.



Sometimes that's what I imagine this Lego hobby is doing to my house, by the way.

Hehe his first one was of mashed potatoes :)

[1brickshyofcrazy]

Yeah lucky is right because I almost always never get these kind of great deals.
Usually everything is gone by the time I find out about them.
So any way I was able to grab 11 of them and all but 2 are opened already and somewhat sorted out and I'm looking at a MOC of ? not sure yet as I can't decide on the same theme only larger with more details or a modular building.

Hopefully others will get lucky as well...

Nothing at my one Target. There was a few Ninjago dojo sets but that was it. I went because my buddy bought the Black Pearl for his 2 kids for 25 bucks..... i've been searching for a deal for a long while and he scores a Black Pearl for 25!! Haha, funny! There wasn't anymore left.. he got the last one...phooey.

[janckson]

Picked up a bunch of PQ Pyramids and 2 Atlantis Portals for $25 each. Easiest way to rack up bricks for the cheap.

One store still had a Portal set left. I got in just as they were further marking down toys. They completely skipped over the Lego set as directed by the supervisor/boss.

Care to provide the DPCI # for the two sets?

I got atlantis today. They were marked 49.99 and didn't come up on the scanner. I checked w/ an associate and they said that they were meant for clearance, but marked it down. They had 2 more in the Warwick store, but don't know if they are planning on pulling them today.

The whole endcap of Portals and Pyramids was gone today when I went to check for 70%. Checked with an associate and they looked it up. They all ended up selling at 50%.
