If you can find it in store at target MF is $81 with red card. All my targets have it in stock....

Actually, for the MF, I see $104.99 on the target site... minus $25 .... times 95% = $75.99 + tax if my math is correct?

You are correct, I included tax. It's 81 where I live with tax.

It appears that we've reached a point where most sets are worth only buying if they're upwards of 40% or more off.  Is this typical for this time of year in recent memory?  Because sales, have been a bit ridiculous the past month.

Yes, this time of year typically has the best deals, though this year has seen discounts that are as good or better than the usual after Christmas clearance events. What remains to be seen is whether this trend of large discounts continues into the new year. If it does, that's a game changer.

Got 4 for instore pickup. At 48% that's a no brainer for this set. I've been selling Cargo Terminal for around $180 and I see airport going up to that mark too next year.
Thinking of getting more.

Which city airport are we talking about?

I'm a 'value' investor, so this has always been true for me.

As far as discounts go, I think this year is typical from over the past 10.  The past few years, TLG has had supply issues, so the discounts have been rare.  Previously (2009-2012), target would often blow stuff out online as the shipping deadline for Christmas gets close.  My favorite year was 2011, 8061 Gateway of the Squid for $9 (from a passed over theme) available for a few days.  Great ROI on those.  2009 was another year like this one, with 20-30% off modulars/exclusives common.  I think the last few years were the outliers.  For me, as far as discounts, this year is more typical.

Personally, my favorite of the SH sets out now.  The figs are awesome, especially ghost rider and the "fire" chain. I really like the investment "vibe" with this one too. However, I'm not sure it will disappear as quickly as ant-man but who among us can predict that? In my opinion it has been a bit more widespread than ant-man was so may take longer to appreciate in value once it leaves the market. I also like the price point as I'm totally small scale in my investments and stay away from the big UCS exclusives.

Airport sets typically do very well after retirement.  The last pure passenger airport was 2010, 2006 before that.

Please understand this will likely be on the shelves for another year. Buy when you will, but storage space has cost, too--at least for me. 

(But that Target buy in is ridiculously low when in stock with the coupon.)
