    You know I was thinking that I feel sorry for some people that they didn't even get any RTS releases in their area. And here we at that Target is putting these things on clearance. This almost shatters all hope for some people finding these in their area.

    I'll try and go to the Targets again tomorrow and grab some extra stuff that fellow board members are looking for and hook them up with this deal.

    All we have on clearance at the Target I work at right now is the PCC 2-packs. All the same ones (the first repaint wave) we've had for ages.

    Not really getting anything else in.

    Exactly.

    Target near me: HA for $23.00 and the little 2pack PCC were on sale for $5.00.

    Target is also more motivated it seems to actually clearance merchandise to move. They cycle through the 30-75% off in a matter of weeks. However, at Wal-Mart they rarely get clearance past 3-40% off. In their clearance aisles I've seen some of the same figs, TF and non-TF, sitting around for over a year when Target got rid of them along time ago.

    Target for my choice of shopping.

    Yep - Target clearancing rocks!

    Wal-Mart blows. I went into a Wal-Mart once and they had an Ultimate BB (in a beat up box) "clearanced" for $99.

    Statements like this really prove that Wal-Mart Canada is a different company. Because to me Wal-Mart is the best clearancer. While Zellers is the store who jacks up the price 25% and then calls the normal price a clearance price.

    No clearance at my Target on anything TF-related. It's not like they had anything though.

    Went to one Target today and it was a strange mix of 30% and 50% off stuff. PCC 2 packs and HA were 50% off the others were 30% (save BOBB and PCC 5-packs).

    So I went back to the Target where they had almost everything at 50% and they're almost wiped clean. It looked like most people are picking them up for Easter stuffers. I managed to grab a legends Long Haul for $2.48 and a Activators "Rally Rumble" Optimus Prime for $4.98.

    Scored Wave 2 PCC two packs for 5 each. Anyone have any luck getting a Perceptor and a Wreck Gar and Lugnut? I would pay someone for their trouble or see if we can work out a trade.

    Went back to the Target near me and they still had the same figs on sale, but I noticed they did great pre-easter and almost have sold all the new RTS figures they just got in.
    I bet the rest of these figures will go on sale soon and I'm getting excited for it b/c they have so many HA figs. that they almost gotta go from 30% off (now) to at least 50% off if they wanna get rid of half of them before May 16th hits. If the HA go as low as regular deluxe figure prices I'm making a few (half) unplanned buys for sure. Go Target.

    My local Target had clearance on almost everything when I went today, as well. Ended up picking up two voyagers and three PCC 2-packs for a little over $40. Only RTS stuff I saw was Mindset and Fallback, unfortunately.

    The only clearance (~33% off) stuff was HA and PCC 2-packs, which is basically just the black Sideswipe, Huffer, Searchlight and Smolder. *sigh*


    I reeeaally hope this clearance brings out some 'new' stock. Like WFC Megatron. Or PCC Leadfoot.
