Wally actually had some deals yesterday:

Creator monkey 13.00 (originally 19.97)
BARC speeder 17.00 (originally 24.97)
Random Chima no one wants 30.00


Got the only BARC they had, waiting on the monkeys..

edit: sorry, I should have put prices too.

6869 - $50
9466 - $50
9470 - $13

Managed to stumble across 60052 marked down to 99.00 last night. Was quite surprised as this walmart is normally cleaned out of clearance product.

That's what I say when I want to go down to the Natick mall :-)

It's a 45 minute ride give or take.

Does anybody know if there is a specific day of the week when Walmart might reduce the clearance aisle even further? I actually want that exclusive Chima set but not at $30, and my local area gets decimated when sets go over 30% off.

There is no specific day when they reduce clearance, I have seen sets sit for years at the same markdown, it all up to your store... :problem:

Walmart's usually, but not always, get markdown money at the beginning of the month. Different stores are given different $ amounts. Then, it is up to the store manager which department gets the funds. I have seen some toy clearance sit for years at some and others will blow the stuff out within a few weeks. Its hit or miss with no rhyme or reason.

Best thing to do is befriend the toy dept head or zm. They will usually give you some "insider" info as to whether or not there will be markdown money coming.

As always, happy hunting.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I saw 2 of the City Cargo Train sets at a Walmart I never go to yesterday, they were priced at $139. After reading the responses out here I decided 30% off that set was good enough for me so I went back today and HOLEEEY SHNIKEYS those sets were now marked at $99!! Needless to say I bought both and am tremendously excited to open my first Lego train set!!!

Interestingly enough, all the other sets from yesterday were not marked down further. Ninjago Mechdragon for $69 :roll: Chima spider set for $30 and that's about it

Business trip from Houston,TX to Lafayette, LA. Sneaked a couple of Walmarts in. Best Deals.

Lafayette (Evangeline)
>50% - AT-AP ($30/$70), various S2&3 speedorz ($5/$15)
50% - Evil Lair ($35), Ice Cream Truck ($15), Family House ($35), Toxikka ($19), Tremor Attack ($9), Malibu Mansion ($19), Battle Smallville ($25), Museum Break-In ($35), Helicopter Rescue ($30). Bunch of season 1 and 2 chima sets also.
<50 - Mech Dragon ($69), Quinjet ($49, 1), Pres Vizla ($40/$50). Speedor Tournament ($21/$30), Starhopper ($29/$40)

Castle Calvalry was in the clearance section but still at $30.
I took the only Evil Lair but according to the Walmart app the Walmart 25 miles north has them in stock for that price. I also took the only Family House and Tremor Attack.

Lake Charles (Gertsner)
>50% various Speedorz S2&3 ($5/$15), AT-AP ($30/$70)
50% Museum Break-In, Helicopter Rescue, Temple of Light ($35), LM Ice Cream Truck ($15), Smallville, Malibu, Barc Speeder
<50% Forest Ambush ($11), Council of Elrond ($25/$30)

I took all the speedorz here, one of the two V-wing and the only BARC Speeder and several of the 50% stuff.

Lake Charles (N171)
I took the only items I found on clearance, a Worriz Combat Lair ($15/$70), AT-AP ($20/$70).No other clearance items. Not surprising at those prices.

Crowley or Jennings
I can't remember which one, I think Jennings several LM Trach Chomper for $15 (50%)

Also managed to score at the Books a Million with the $5 off $25+ coupon. Everything came to over 70% off.

Books-a-Million (Lafayette)
Sparratus Stalker ($7 -> $5.4, regular $25)
Black Zero Escape ($7 -> $5.4, regular $20)
Wakz Packer ($10 -> $8.2, regular $30)
SW Planet Twin Pod ($3 -> $2.5, regular $10)
They still had another one of each.

Books-a-Million (Lake Charles)
Speedor Tournament ($10 -> $8.2, regular $30)
Eris Eagle ($10 -> $8.2, regular $30)
Genosis Cannon ($7 -> $5.7, regular $20)
They still had another Speedor Tournament and Eris Eagle. Also had a Golden Dragon for $10 with the sealing tape peeling. I was pushing for time so I didn't examine it. They also had a single Twin-Pod for $3 also.

***As a bonus, I also got a couple Plastic Man from the Gamestop nearby.****

I found quite a bit today too.
Fire and Ice Chima Speedorz $5.00 each
31019 Creator Forest Animals $9
75012 Star Wars BARC Speeder $13
44029 HERO Factory Queen Beast $17
70012 Chima Razar $19
70133 Chima Spinlyn's Cavern $19
76003 Superman Battle of Smallville $25
4429 City Helicopter Rescue $30

Make sure you price check the sets. The only correctly priced set was 4429 the rest were still here priced from the previous clearance mark down.

On a happy personal note this is the first time, that I can remember, that my local Walmart did a second cut on clearance items.
