Target Exclusives Sighted At 30% Off Clearance

Lapse Of Reason wrote:Both Springer/Ratbat & Dirge/Roadbuster comic packs and both Animated exclusive packs have entered the first round of Target clearance pricing (30% off). Target sales are nationwide so chances are your local Target store has marked them down already. These are not available online on Target's web site.

Front paged. Good news for the frugal among us. Thanks!

Target over hear was picked clean so it does me no good unless they decide to restock. But that normally takes about a month.

Well my store marked down the transformers on xmas eve and those were only the animated and Legends exclusives

But I will not know till tommorrow if they are going to mark down the
Comic two packs yet

Ity wouls be cool I have a $25 gift card I got for xmas

Usually when an item goes on clearance they don't restock

this would be correct, Frederick/hagerstown area are stocked full.
Got Battle over mission city for 17.00-10% target discount for brother working there. wish I waited to get comic 2 packs.

oh well.

I will have to look for them tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up.

I visited three Targets in the north metro Denver area. They all have boat loads of them. Too bad I already bought Springer/Ratbat & Roadbuster/Dirge. They are clean out of pretty much everything else. I still can't track down Universe Hound and the G1 Legends.

As of yesterday, they were still full-price at one of my two nearby Targets. I'll check the other one tomorrow.

The 25th Ann. Optimus Prime figs were marked down 30% as well...still a bit overpriced for a G1 re-do, but marked for clearance nonetheless.

Went to Target and Wal Mart, saw the anniversary Prime for 50 bucks at Target, but at Walmart picked up The Bumblebee WalMart exclusive 3 pack for 17 bucks, and a animated Prime/Blackarachnia 2 pack for 9 bucks. They also had Megatron/Prowl 2 packs as well for 9 bucks. A little off topic but Target had Marvel figures that come with Red Hulk pieces down to 7 bucks,originally 15. I mean since you put Red Hulk together like Devestator it kinda counts,right? LOL

I haven't seen anniversary Prime marked down anywhere...But I think $50 is still too much for it...$70 was flat-out rediculous, even with all the extra stuff it comes with...The colours are awful and the short smokestacks suck...

Picked up Roadbuster v. Dirge for $20 yesterday at a Super Target somewhere off I95 in Florida.

Get 'em if you can.

They have Super Targets??

Normally Target will not price match an item you purchased if it goes on "clearance", even if it is within the normal 30 day (or however long Target offers) price guarantee. There is a loophole. When I saw these on sale, I went to the customer service desk with them. Since I purchased these about a month ago I asked if they could price match and was told no because of the above information.

I did not have a receipt, but they were able to look up my purchase because I used a debit card. Since they would not price match, I asked "What if I bought these right now at the sale price, and then I hand them back to you and have them credited as a return of the regular price purchase?" The guy smiled and said I was smart man to have discovered the loophole. I bought, then returned the items and ended up getting the price difference back.

Yea, I found my receipt for that and the GI Joe UBP and plan on picking them up on sale tomorrow and bringing them back in with my original receipt. I don't feel too bad doing it with all the cash I have been dropping there, and it gives me an excuse to "reinvest" in Stormcloud with the cash I get back. Been looking for an excuse to buy him for a while now.

At least 7 that I can think of within 30 miles of me (Fort Worth/Dallas area). They are Targets with grocery stores, optical and little eaterys in them. Nice if you like avoiding the rabble at Wal-Mart.

Never ever seen a Super Target but I would love one around here since I detest WalMart...

Now it would only help if the closest Target had gotten them in the first place. Sheesh. And I had to go get them off of Toywiz instead.

I was told by our price change mgr that they will take another mark down on wednesday so that means I can finally grab this set on clearance

O m'gosh are you serious??? There are 3 Targets within 5 miles of my house and each one has an endcap literally FULL of marked down Optimus Primes...but as you stated...still too much for this figure...

Another markdown. Maybe now I'll buy the Springer/Ratbat set.

Went to the Target near me after work today, scanned a 2-pack and it rings up $30, oh well.

sweet, my 1st local target had about 20-25 primes all on cleareance. $50 but i think i will wait till its 75% off and buy a couple for $17 a pop... sure the price will drop in about a week and with that many on hand (i didnt even bother checking the other 6 targets in my area) im sure to score WOOHOO!!!! nobody tell my wife ok??? peace

My thoughts exacly. I don't really want it, but if I can roll them up at 75% off eventually, it will make damn good birthday presents for my friends kids. Gotta use anything I can to help lay the groundwork to one day motorboat a few of their sister-in-laws.

I don't know what's up, but at my local Target, they were still $29.99...

I don't think I'll get Springer/Ratbat unless it's on a sale...
Hopefully it'll happen soon.
