This is almost exactly what mine are looking like also....REALLY hoping for clearance on Technic and Architecture.....my wallet and I are ready to roll!! Those displays are eating up way too much valuable retail space...they have to be coming down right after Christmas. And then what are they going to do with all of that product that doesn't have a home? Get ready....

Mine looked the exact same. At least 10 Rally Car sets. I’m really hoping the first round of clearance stays here, not moved to the clearance aisle. Last year found some pretty decent stuff at 50-70% off.

Yes!  As long as it stays in LEGO aisle, good finds.  But once it gets moved to clearance endcaps, gone in 24 hours!

I was literally the last person they let in at my local Target - ran to the back of the store where this display is located and they were already moving the kid car boxes out.

So it's not beyond the scope to think all of these will find themselves in clearance.  I guess one question comes to mind: What time does Target open on 12/26?    ?

8am like usual.

Any advice on using br!ckseek?  I understand that you can use it to see inventory but don't you have to have the dpci for each item?

It's the site whose name we do not speak, but to partially answer your question, their search page has a dpci finder link.

The Targets around me open on Wednesday (12/26) at 7AM, then 8AM the rest of the week.

Merry Christmas my friends! Hope you all have a great day enjoying time with the best deal going, your families.

except for that back corner section in the books/cd/collectibles section where there are still large STACKS of Architecture, Technic, and Elves that any regular customer looking for LEGO would never have thought to look.   several store's regular lego aisles are wiped clean but these outlier endcaps remained stacked to the gills.  hoping we see some deep discounts.  i will be checking br!ckseek to help guide my travels. 

never saw architecture or large technic sets like this at a target store this until fall.  this section which is away and separate from the toys and lego section was probably not meant to be permanent so hoping it gets clearanced.  

last year both walmart and target had decent clearance on 26th but my first big purchases after xmas were on jan9 at walmart so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that target keeps getting it done like they have done all year.

 

 

My three local Targets have nothing like this.

Same. I've never seen an Architecture set in any of the 4 Targets near me, let alone a display like these. I am going to check out B&N tomorrow to see what's going on the with their stack of HP Minifigures now that the holiday is over.

I frequent 18 Targets in my area of the Midwest and I’ve never seen this at any of those either. 

Do they typically run the deep discounts on the whole breadth of Legos? Happened to be at one on Sunday and they still had some relatively large sets: indoraptor, destiny bounty, heartlake hospital

Also confirmed from Atlanta to Legoland Florida for at least a dozen targets, nothing like it too.

Honestly, in central NJ, we never get anything special from any retailer.  North Jersey gets more perks.

Target here in Raleigh just got remodeled and now has a big technic display and expanded lego section. The newish taget at north hills has it too. Targets in Cary also got it. I figured they did it since tru closed.

Do they usually clearance on Amazon or just Target, etc

Thanks

this was the first i'd seen this too .

i just want to reiterate.  the endcap is NOT in the toy section or even in the LEGO aisle.

it's  by the books and CD/DVDs and funkpop's tucked into a back corner that is lucky if 3 or 4 customers cast a shadow in that part of the store a day.   only 3 stores out of 9 i frequent have it but if you're store shows architecture stock at all on the website, this is where it very likely is.

i didn't even know about it until i saw the elves sets out of the corner of my eye while looking for some cds and went to check and then had to visit the men's dept for some new Hanes after I saw the bountiful shelves of architecture and technic (and elves too wtf were they thinking put this stuff over here on the endcap that has guitars and drums facing the main aisle ? .  it's like they were pre-hiding it for me to have it be there for day after xmas - lol.

A note to all members new to the LEGO reselling and collectibles game...You will find clearance and discounts on most retiring sets, in every retailer, over the next week or two, both online and in store.  They will go quickly.  People have plenty of gift card to acquire these items.  You should keep an eye on this thread and make frequent visits to Targets and Walmarts.  There will be some great deals.  The new LEGO movie will only expedite things this year.

yep that's how it was last year.  i was reviewing last years xmas posts and members were finding instore clearance deals at walmart and target on 12/26 but were on the 30% level.  wasn't until around Jan 8-11 that deep discounts started.  every year and every store can be different.  target in particular seems very aggressive at moving product this year with discounting and relative absence of reported reseller banning.  i am making sure to be at my target store when it opens though on 12/26 just in case since i've done the recon and ok with this risk/reward prospects.  not like its 1 or 2 sets.  i'ts 14 rally car plus half a dozen hovercraft another 50-60x architecture sets.  might have to prospectively start out with 2-3 carts stacked into each other and  bring the bungee cords to make a train of carts should the need arise.  usually such optimism heralds great disappointment and failure but every once in a while you could hit it out of the park and once christmas clearance grandma sees you rolling out with 1 cart of lego she'll be on that like a fly on apple pie.  if you got no extra carts and/or bungee, that claim is gonna be jumped.  don't forget the elbow pads.

great wall of china - the extended clearance remix here i come ?

Walmarts by me never clearance like Targets do.  I really don't even waste my time in a Walmart.  Other members have much better luck than me with Walmarts.

And remember that your B&N "rewards" giftcards become active tomorrow (12/26) as well ....
