For the last week, I noticed that target.com raised the price on some higher end sets. Higher than MSRP. I know that Walmart sometimes lists sets from other sellers but target,com doesn't, right?
10188 was $429 5 mins ago but just dropped (hence the temp price cut in red). The LR train also just dropped from $129.99. 10220 (VW van) is listed at $179.99. 10224 (town hall) is $199.99
Here are some prices.
General question. I am always surprised by how consistent Target generally is - for the most part I can walk into any store and the toy aisle layout is very consistent.
That being said, as I haven't been good about hunting down clearance deals until discovering this site, I don't see a clearance area in most stores similar to Walmart's "aisle of crap" model. Where do you go to look for clearance Lego at Target?
I always see seasonal clearance to check for Poly's, but haven't noticed other sets on clearance yet. In the toy section, or look somewhere else?
I first heard about this rumored polybag around the beginning of January, and then sometime last week Brickset mentioned it would be an exclusive polybag for Target during that month. Well now it is February and I just found a bunch of them with all the Valentine candy stuff, or what used to be the 'stocking stuffer' section. I also found the FRIENDS "Ice Cream Stand" exclusive polybag in a bin right next to the other one. Funny, right after I found these I find that The Brick Fan had just posted a news post about the CHIMA polybag. Here's the post on The Brick Fan. A little amusing, this might qualify for the LONGEST thread title ever!
