Got the Galactic Enforcer for 50% off! This is a cool set, definitely worth it! It was the Huntington Beach, CA Target BTW, the one off Beach Blvd. They might be gone by now though.

Just went to another Target (Westminster Mall, CA) and they had a ton of 8057 Atlantis Wreck Raiders for 50% off.

They also had 7 Galactic Enforcer's left for 50% off. The Target I mentioned in my last post are sold out.
Haven't seen anything else at 50% off that hasn't already been mentioned.

My Target is most definitely not at the 50% off stage yet. The Galactic Enforcers are at 30% off, and the Power Miners sets are mixed 15% and 30% off. The battle packs are all sold out though and they have Gateway of the Squid 20% off.

I think it might depend on how much stock they have. The Target by my house has the Galactic Enforcer at 30% off but they only have 1 of them. The two Targets where it was 50% off had at least 8 at each store when I first saw them, so they probably have a greater need to get rid of them and make more shelf space.

Noticed that the Targets in the lower income zips tend to mark'em down quicker and blow them out faster than the Targets in the higher income zips. Same goes for Walmart. Don't expect to find many great deals or available clearence items in the upper middle class areas with lots of families.

I would say that too except mine has about 16 Galactic Enforcers and they're at the $70 price. They also have a HUGE amount of Power Miners to get rid of and it's only 30% off. I'm checking them everyday, hoping they get marked down further.

Maybe, but local store management and stock levels come into play as well. I live in a city with the 7th highest median income in the nation and all of the legos are at 50% off. There is a lot of stuff to clear out though, so I'm sure they are just trying to flush the old stock as quickly as possible.

Well, I went to the Target by my house tonight (Gardena, CA) and ALL of their clearanced Lego were now 50% off. They had Kingdoms Trolls' Mountain Fortress 7097, Atlantis Neptune Carrier 8075, Atlantis Wreck Raider 8057, Power Miners Claw Catcher 8190, Toy Story Western Train Chase 7597, World Racers Gator Swamp 8899, and some Hero Factory figures. I picked up a Mountain Fortress and the last City Airport.

You might wanna check your local Target!

I saw and picked up all the 50% spacysmoke mentioned, except the Toy Story train, which I've never seen on clearance here. I returned the Troll Fortress I bought for $70 last week, now $50. I also found 1 Desert of Destruction WR for $44 and a Portal of Atlantis for $50, plus a few Clone Walker and Assassin Droid battle packs for $6.

I should mention that several local Targets stock many of same sets and they're NOT on clearance. It's really YMMV, and I can't identify any low income/high income area reasoning for why.

Just picked up 2 Troll Battle Fortress's for 50% off! Also snagged a King's Castle from the Kingdom Set for 50% off. Also had Toy Story Train, Alien Trash Compactor, Wreck Raider, and Claw Catcher are also 50% off.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

That is interesting b/c at my Target the Toy Story Train was not 1/2 off. I also scanned the Airport at 2 Targets and they were not marked down at all.

Yeah, it definitely varies from Target to Target. The Portal of Atlantis was still full price at my Target and there was another Target where the Airport was still full price too.

I also found 2 today that I snagged, plus a Kings Castle set for $50. $$$

I wasn't able to find an airport for sale or a galactic enforcer for less than $70.

I did find a box of seemingly untouched minifigures series 3 at target too and am lookin for some people to split, see my post in buy/sell/trade. So far Target is the only place I've seen them here in Florida.

Man, I'd love to get a Battle of Endor at 50% off. Went to another Target (Torrance, CA) and picked up POP Quest Against Time and a Power Miners Fire Blaster 8188 for half off. They had a ton of Galactic Enforcers for 50% off; not only did they have a couple stacks in the clearance isle, they also had some in the regular Lego isle.

I just found a Battle of Endor as well, $50. Not marked at all on the box. Found a PoP Battle of Almut too, $40. Picked em both up. The Target's I have been too have been a disaster - stuff scattered everywhere, nothing where it should be, prices not marked, and LEGO's spread across several aisle. Very weird.
