[USA] Target Summer Clearance

[legomason]

Surprised not to see this up already. Today Target dropped many sets to 50-70% off. YMMV.

Picked up Heroica Sets (Draida Bay) $4.48 and (Waldurk Forest) $5.98. I got two of the Waldurk Forests that were hidden behind the Caverns of Nathuz because they didn't have a name on them. Has anyone noticed some boxes are missing the little banner with the name on the cover? I believe that is why they didn't have clearance stickers on them.

Also some things rang up lower than the sticker price. Found a Marina for $24.98 behind some other sets and an AC tripod for $9.98. Most stuff had been picked over by the time I got there. Saw a bunch of Minotaur games for $7.48 and a couple of Podracers for $45.

Clearance shopping is maybe my favorite time of the year. So exciting.

Same here. It's always such a rush driving from store to store, not knowing what treasures you might find.

I checked 3 local Targets yesterday, and came up short until the very last one. I managed to score a Creator Lighthouse Island for $14.63!!

Oh, man, I've got to stop by Target to check, now, because I KNOW my kid wants Draida Bay. If I could get it for under $5, that would be awesome.

Of course, I'll probably be disappointed again. Every time somebody on here posts about Target clearance deals, my local Targets NEVER have ANY of the LEGO items marked down at all.

Don't forget to subtract 5 cents if you bring your own bag :P

I've also found a lot of 50% off sets like the Podracers, the Jedi Shuttle, and the Bounty Hunter ship. Yesterday I scanned a Millennium Falcon that was marked at $99 and it rang up at 70% off. It's been years since I've seen Target mark down Lego to more than 50% off.

[Mister Ed]

Well, FINALLY, my local Targets actually had something on clearance after reading about it here.

Too bad they were already totally sold out of pretty much everything they put on clearance. So no cheap Draida Bay for me.

I went to 3 targets yesterday. First 2 where a bust. Everything clearanced was gone and it was just the UFO stuff.

3rd was ok. I found a lonesome 7749 Echo Base that wouldn't scan, the register ran off and came back with 12.99 price. I found some series 5 mini figs tossed in there card section and they ran up as $1.50 so I got the rest of them of 8ish. Only thing else on sale they had was the bounty hunter ship that listed as clearance for 34.99 but range up as 24.99, i got 3 to add to my collection of 4 >_<;

Last week they had a bunch of $5.99 speed boats for $2.54, I got 8 of them. I was really hoping to score a falcon or a black pearl on the cheap. I'm getting tired of stopping off at target to see if any deals are about :/

WOW, you found 7749 still on the shelves?? That's been discontinued for ages...

I found one too, was out of the system and never broke 50% which is pretty much what I've seen the last 2-3 years. In fact, since they instituted the new mark up and 15/30/50/70% markdown system I've actually found sets at 70% off again, of course they're not 70% off retail...

All my local SoCal Targets pulled their current wave SW sets from the shelves...in one there was zero Star Wars stuff out! Guess they'll come out as clearance at a later date?

[onions]

not even the summer wave sets were out?

[Morgan19]

My store did the same today, except it's very clearly just a "reset" to reorganize in general along with putting the summer wave out–– there were tags for the old sets plus the new ones on the shelves, just not product there yet. It looks like they're scheduled to get put out tomorrow.

If you check along the back wall, they might be on rolling pallet carts and stacked high in shopping carts. I saw that once before when they moved the entire Lego aisle.

[Bellicose]

At one, no, not one Star Wars item. I asked an employee and he said they were all on pallets in the back, the new ones were back there too and they'd be put out in a few days, old ones to clearance. Never seen that before!

[Bellicose]

After some further recon, all the Targets in my area have removed any potential clearance lego sets from the shelves entirely, Star Wars and other lines. Anything that isn't in the current lineup for the holidays isn't on the shelves. There IS a toy clearance section at each store I've been too, but so far there's zero Lego items in those areas. AFAIK all the lego items are still sitting in pallets in the back.

To be clear, all the new wave and some of the previous are still out on shelves. Anything older though is gone. I give up, I'm tired of driving around to see if they'll be out.
