Yay! So I saw a bunch of these in mine. What do you think as investments about the creator sets? And the city ones? I just wasn't sure it was worth the capital.
July 9, 201312 yr I'm starting to think it will all be a non-event around me. Not much is on sale and what was marked down is only 15% and cleared out. I mean really, $5.00 off Uruk Hai Army and people buy them out as if it were 70% off!
July 9, 201312 yr I was in my target tonight and I asked if they had anything in the back, I was told no, that everything was out already. I don't really believe that, can't imagine all of the Helm's Deep's Disappearing at 130. Also, the little red label you see on the bottom right/left of the aisle means that it will be reset at some point soon. I'm a former employee, and it's one thing I remember, haha. I don't think that this clearance will be spectacular around me though, because it will be so picked over by the time the sale hits a nice price.

Ha, I wondered what that was, and why the Tie Fighter set in the corner in each Target isn't on clearance. :-)

I mean really, $5.00 off Uruk Hai Army and people buy them out as if it were 70% off! Thats rough. I cleared mine out but they were at 30% off. $20 is good for that set.
July 9, 201312 yr Author So I saw a bunch of these in mine. What do you think as investments about the creator sets? And the city ones? I just wasn't sure it was worth the capital. I like the City sets in general, but partially under the principal of "buying what you like". The Creator small sets I have decided personally I would rather save the capital for a larger set. Unless they get to 70% off....I don't see the upside in a random car or plane. The City sets for me are like buying S&P500 index funds....safe investments but little chance at huge returns.

I don't think that this clearance will be spectacular around me though, because it will be so picked over by the time the sale hits a nice price. Did my sweep of my local Bay Area Targets, absolutely nothing on clearance (unless you count MOM for $67, which I certainly don't)! However, I did notice one kinda strange thing, hence the quote from Spencer above. At one of the stores they all of a sudden had about 30x of 30111 "The Lab" polybags, and a full 120 count box of CMF Series 9 (and I was just there yesterday and these weren't there, so this was definitely just barely put out). But, as I said, nothing on clearance. Both The Lab and the CMF were full price. Boo. I really hope they make it to some kind of clearance. So, I think this definitely lends some credence to the statement that they keep stuff in the back, because I know for sure they didn't just get a shipment of 30111s and CMF Series 9. That would make no sense. -PB
July 9, 201312 yr So I saw a bunch of these in mine. What do you think as investments about the creator sets? And the city ones? I just wasn't sure it was worth the capital. I buy for me, for collecting, and for parts. I'm really not interested in re-selling. I build, build, build and wait, wait, wait, for any discount!!!
July 9, 201312 yr I buy for me, for collecting, and for parts. I'm really not interested in re-selling. I build, build, build and wait, wait, wait, for any discount!!! Same here. I'm a builder and collector; not an investor. And I w-a-i-t so long for discounts with all fingers crossed.

I mean really, $5.00 off Uruk Hai Army and people buy them out as if it were 70% off! It will be an epic event if anything even makes it to 50% off in my area. The first Target to mark anything to 30% off in my are had 3 MoM's for 55.98 and they all sold at that price. Don't feel alone.

People don't recognize that you can pay these prices already on Amazon. 15% off is really not a big deal at all.
July 9, 201312 yr I agree that some of the discounts aren't incredible. It's all about your local area and if you are the only game in town aside from just general collectors and parents that don't see great deals and take what they can get since they are already at the store. My area discounts haven't been that great, but if I didn't have any MoM's already I would pick some up at 30% since I probably won't see anything better. Here is hoping for the best.

The ones that I saw were marked "AS IS" and they were around $0.95 per, but with tax it was over a dollar. Still nice deal for a polybag. Not sure why your Target would still have these at full price. I believe several other members have had experiences similar to this.
July 9, 201312 yr People don't recognize that you can pay these prices already on Amazon. 15% off is really not a big deal at all. This is the sole reason that Toys R Us stays in business. People don't do research and a "clearance" that brings an inflated price tag back down to MSRP sounds very appealing when the "discount" is in the realm of $30 off.

Equivalent to: "Come on down and get in on this amazing deal...Buy a Hot Dog for $28,995...AND GET A FREE CAR!!!"
July 10, 201312 yr Anyone been out today? I was out yesterday and no change. Do I bother stopping at a Target today?
July 10, 201312 yr Shoot I've been checking all the Targets in my area almost every other day. I don't want to miss when these sets get marked down even further later this month.
July 10, 201312 yr Anyone been out today? I was out yesterday and no change. Do I bother stopping at a Target today? Nothing different at the store I went to this morning. Maybe tomorrow--Thursday is the "usual" day for them to deal with clearance toys.
July 10, 201312 yr There are two Targets near me, but 25 miles apart from each other. Each store has different stuff marked as clearanced and is sold out. I think I'm going to purchase at full price from one store and get the price adjustment at the other. If they don't want to give the adjustment at the 2nd store then I'll just return them and I'm only out time + fuel.
July 10, 201312 yr Monster fighters and superheroes on clearance at my target but only 15% his far. Hoping this weekend the prices drop.
July 11, 201312 yr Man alive, the closer it gets to this Friday, the more intense the waiting game becomes!With that said, I hope everyone finds what they want. Cheers, mates. :drinks:
July 11, 201312 yr Has anyone seen this?http://m.target.com/c/target-black-friday/-/******-5q0f2 I saw this earlier but it still doesn't work, Can't get past the 1st page.
July 11, 201312 yr I saw this earlier but it still doesn't work, Can't get past the 1st page. Doesnt work for me either but it would be a lot cooler if it did...nice find though.
July 11, 201312 yr Has anyone seen this?http://m.target.com/c/target-black-friday/-/******-5q0f2 It's showing me a bunch of electronics mostly. No toys at all.
