Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

Well, they rearranged the clearance aisle in the Fishkill, NY store - still a bunch of QARs and the two WCBs at 30% off, no further reduction as of yet. By my observations over the last year and a half, most clearance price changes happen about every two weeks. One of my stores here had a date of 8...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

I'm kinda amazed at the number of people posting that they are buying so much now at 30%. These will go to 50% if you just have a little patience, probably in the next week or two. If you are buying to fill a collection gap and you see only 2 or 3 on the shelf, then it makes sense to get one, but to...

Re: Target - Summer Clearance

I guess it's hit and miss in SoCal - I live in Los Angeles, and there was barely anything clearanced in the surrounding local cities. Looks like the boonies are the way to go for stuff. Yes, in my experiance, typically the further out from a major city, the higher the likelyhood of finding the bett...

Re: [USA] K-mart additional 50% off clearance toys

thanks to a helpful tip from a t&B member, we both scored the avengers loki chase? and wolverines showdown for 9.99 each as well as a hulk escape for 25. I also found two Ramses pyramid games fro 5 each. They scan at full price but were clearance stickered so 50% off they went! I so don't get t...

Re: Predicting the next sale and planning future purchases

Seems like Target, Walmart, and Kmart all have 50% off clearance sales immediately after Christmas, Kmart may start a little before too. Also Kmart seems to have half of clearance toys every 2 months which sometimes includes lego, sometimes does not. Lego clearance sales usually coincide with the li...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

For any of you who still have QARs or Hogwarts still at the local walmart in California, time to go check for further price drops! I went by my walmart today to find all 3 QARs and big Hogwarts gone after a price drop on HP and PotC in clearance yesterday, so I missed out on those. I did pick up so...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

... it bothers me to see them just sitting there.... beckoning me.... LOL. Ditto here! Makes me want to get another credit card! As much as I like the big ships and hogwarts sets, i'm still not gonna bite at anything over 50%. The walmarts here that still have them only have a few but I'm content t...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

Potc and HP are 30-35% off at my store. Clearance tags dated 5/30. Since i'm new to this, how soon might they drop again? Or, how frequently should i pop in to check on them? There doesn't seem to be any fixed point for Walmarts to price drop, so I would recommend weekly checks. Most stores do have...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

Target is usually more clockwork than Wallyworld. They start with 30% off towards the end of June or beginning of July. They then go to 50%, with 75% off if they haven't sold by then. It's generally two weeks between markdowns, and the Toys dept. usually does so on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Man! I w...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

In regards to the seemingly sealed bags with built figs, it is possible to reseal a bag with a heat source, maybe that is what happened. I suppose its even possible to put the minfigures together inside the bag without opening it if all the right pieces are in the same bag. Now on to my Walmart find...

Re: [USA] Yoyo 23% off LEGO Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator

Still hoping I'll find a 50% off clearance at Walmart or Target for it. Maybe next month since the summer SW sets hit in July/August.

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

Nothing here in the SC Valley either. Saw some reset maps from spring that were dated mid April, so I'm not sure there's really gonna be much until the new SW sets hit which is in August I think. I'll still keep checkin though!
