April 30, 201312 yr I think you'll make money on this set, but not knock your socks off profits. There's a reason so many of these are still sitting on the shelves even on sale.
May 7, 201312 yr Just picked up 12 of Quinjet Aerial Battle 6869 for $25 each. Can't beat the $25 from 69.99. They were on Clearance from $49.99 to $25. Only time will tell if the investment pays off. This was at the Walmart in Spring, TX
May 7, 201312 yr Well they had 16 of them. Left 4 for others.. Now debating if I should have grabbed all 16.
May 7, 201312 yr Nice find! I got 4 out of the 5 mine had left about 3 weeks ago for $49. I plan on building one with my son soon.
May 7, 201312 yr That's awesome. These deals find you. I bought 5 6868 for $15 at Walmart last week. What the heck bra? I must really be missing out.
May 7, 201312 yr Most of the Quinjets moved when they were 49.99 over here, but I'll check my local store today on the way to volleyball practice.
May 7, 201312 yr I've been to like 8 walmarts and haven't see a clearance quintet yet. I've scanned them at every store. One Walmart had 6868 for $30 and another for $15. It's localized clearance rather than corporate. I noticed that were both at walmarts with very small toy sections. They weren't tagged as cleanse either. Just on the normal shelf marked with the price $15/$30 on a yellow and white tag.
May 8, 201312 yr The Black Widow minifigure alone almost covers $25! what a deal! Seriously? How did I overlook that? I'll be doubling my efforts to find some of these on sale.
May 8, 201312 yr Definitely a regional thing at that price. All the Quinjets at my stores sold when they went to 49, and they are still selling the Hulks Breakout set at full MSRP. Also there was only 1 LOTR Weathertop left, and it was full price. I don't think the Weathertops will ever see the light of day on clearance here. They sell too well as it is for toy managers to bother putting them on clearance.

They sell too well as it is for toy managers to bother putting them on clearance. Well, let the Walmart I went to serve as a counter example. I found five boxes of Attack on Weathertop for $20.00 a box and cleaned them out. They also have an entire shelf full of Quinjets and Hulk's Breakouts with clearance stickers on them, but the stickers were the full retail price. Go figure.
May 8, 201312 yr Great find! The only Walmart here also have them for $49, but being a college student I was a bit tight and passed on it. Maybe I'll swing by the 3 Walmarts in my hometown this weekend and check things out!
May 8, 201312 yr Thanks for the heads up. I'll be on the lookout for them on my next adventure in Walmart.
May 11, 201312 yr I've heard it's going for as little as $25 at some walmarts, but it's still $70 at mine
May 11, 201312 yr I've heard it's going for as little as $25 at some walmarts, but it's still $70 at mine Same here. I went out of my way to price scan these at both Walmart and Target, and they came up at full retail. Bugger.... :-S
May 11, 201312 yr About 2 weeks ago I was able to pick up 3 at $49 each at a local Walmart. It's a cool build but I have my doubts as to how well it will do.
May 11, 201312 yr They don't seem to know what to do with some of the Avengers sets at the moment. A Walmart near me had Hulk's breakout in clearance - $45 down from $49. Then the next time I went, they were back at full price in the toy aisle as part of an Iron Man 3 display, haha. I have seen the Quinjet at $49, and even got two at $35, at different Walmarts. So certainly possible.
