I just read on Yakface that one of their members found a saralac pit UBP on clearance for $11.01 at a Target in Albany Origon!!
He also found the ESB wave figures, there.
-
well now it might be time for me to good look at the pegs again. Its been awhile since a figure came home, I will get the ESB wave.
-
gotta love that Hothy rebel soldier..........
I found one of those fancy wood framed glass cases like I was telling you about that would be a good home for a hothy trench dio.
-
Wave 5 has been spotted over here in Targets but none at mine...yet.... ;)
-
One of the local Targets here in VA just got the new Comic-Packs. So far they've only shown up in one location.
-
Oh baby, I found Ahsoka's Starfighter at one of the 6 Targets I hit yesterday - it is SWEET.
Still no sign of the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid though...
-
Corporate Alliance Tank Droid has now been located and procured! Only 1 left at 1 of the 9 Targets here (yes, I checked them all already)...unfortunately the box had some flaws but I can always exchange it for a better copy when (if?) they finally show up in some numbers.
I can rest easy now...I am reasonably confident that I have everything released to date.
Bring on the Y-Wing!
-
At Target, was that a $20 item?
-
is the corporate alliance tank droid the one with the grey/blue paint job?
-
Yep, it's still $19.99 at Target, thankfully Clone.
Paint job is more of a dull metallic hue, kind of earth tone, not unlike the snail it actually resembles.
-
I finally saw the snailtank here in Manhattan Ks, but couldnt pick it up. :'( I managed to spend my monthly allowance already and had to get the wife a nice Birthday present for this Thursday.
I did get the Vong and Krayyt comic packs and an actual Droidbait release fig though to go with the 5 I picked up months ago on ebay. I am really liking them, but havent opened them yet.
If the snailtank is still there and anyone wants it just let me know, and i can try and get it. They said there should be more ships to put out but couldnt really tell me what they are right now. At least this stockperson didnt keep all the good stuff for themselves.
And the Gi JOE stuff was out in full force. A few nice new vehicles like a red mini Raven type ship, a Joe and Cobra flight and jetpack like the old Cobra flying wing with fig( the joe one looked sweet) and a mini Dragonfly style attack helicopter, along with lots more figs of all sizes(3 3/4 on up)
-
Seen on Target.com that they had the descriptions up for the y-wing bomber, the dooku/speeder set, and the obi wan/speeder set. None were available online but researching the y-wing, the site said that they were available at my store now. I called em up to confirm and talked to someone in the toy dept about it. I gave her the DPCI # and she said she had one in her hand that she would take to the customer care counter for me. Breaking all land speed records, I flew to the store just to find an ARC-170 waiting for me. On the website, it has the same DPCI # listed under the shadow arc. Nice going, Target. Talk about dissapointment.
BTW, when it does become available online, it qualifies for the same discount that the turbo tank did.
-
Oh man Clone, you got jerked around just like I did the other day!
After I bought my box-damaged Snail Droid, I went to guest services to see if I could exchange it for an undamaged box from the stockroom. The guy behind the counter looked up the DPCI#, called back and confirmed they had "a couple" in the back they would bring out for me to choose from. Awesome!
When the stock drone finally comes out with the boxes, I am crushed to discover it was like an AAT, Republic Tank, and Anakin's Starfighter! THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME DPCI#!!!!
WTF kind of system is that!?!?
How do you run a business without unique stock #'s for individual items? How do you track inventory and manage re-orders? Not to mention it is practically an invitation to commit return fraud.
Drives me crazy!
-
how do i post pics on the custom thred
-
customclone if you need help posting pics give me or your local mod a pm and we will get you set up!
Once I read this I was thinking scam city with the same dcpi numbers. Folks will learn that and abuse it quickly which hopefully will show them they better have separate dcpi numbers per item. Having the same is just ridiculous.
-
I think the numbers are for cases of individual ships and vehicles.
Like ordering boxed vehicles in a case from EE.
2 larger ships per box, 4 smaller ships per box. Pick the right set to order and everyone is happy, order the wrong one and you are the cause of all hate and discontent.
Plus it is easier for shelf stocking when you do not need to re tag with a new price, and lets face the fact that some of the workers do not even know how to use a price scanner.... need I say more?
I bet that if they look into it deeper, i know they have additional numbers tagged on the end of the numbers in the system.
If not, then they deserve all the evil that befalls them caused by their stupidity.
-
The other day when I was miss directed about the y wing it was listed as unavailable for online order at this time. I signed up to be notified as it became available for online order. Now it is listed as sold out on their site. Was I notified by email? No. Is there site now on my crap list? Yes.
-
I noticed it said sold out on Target.com too but figured they just hadn't come in yet.
I have signed up for the item notification on TRU's website and actually got the email when the Turbo Tank finally arrived.
Of course, by that point I had already bought it weeks beforehand at Target.
-
Anyone else see pics of that new Target exclusive Wedge X-Wing? I'm not a Legacy man myself, but it looks pretty sweet.
Apparently these have started showing up too...not around here of course.
-
I had heard that rumor also. That would be another one to use the online deal to get.
-
I just read on jedidefender.com that this was found in Michigan.
I went on target.com to look for it and didnt find it but found it interesting to see that all of their star wars items are listed as out of stock.
-
Found another Corporate Alliance Tank Droid tonight at Target on the way home from work, this time in a very good box. It's mine!
They only had 1 left of course, but right place, right time.
I'm thinking Target is gonna be on the back burner for CW stuff for awhile. Walmart is really gonna be where's it at soon. Good thing too, it's a lot easier covering 5 Walmarts than 9 Targets each week.
-
Got this in an email today.

What were the exclusive battle packs to be here?
-
What were the exclusive battle packs to be here?
Ambush at Abregado and Assault on Ryloth, I believe.
SDCC placards had the release date for these as 9/6...no sign of them yet.
I want 'em too!
-
Yes, I want those battle packs!!
I strolled into my Target today, to see if they had a corporate alliance tank droid and noticed that at the endcap where I seen the Red 2 x wing, last week, They had a couple of tags hanging stating that the x-wing was on sale for $44.99 Down from $49 and that the clone wars vehicles were on sale for $17.99 down from $24.79. Quick as a flash, I dashed to where the normal SW display is and low and behold, there was a snail tank, the only one that they had.
Not a bad savings if I do say so and that sale runs through the 19thnext month. It's only going at selected stores or so I hear.

Daggone didn't see this until now and have the news stories up with the contest and Jules' great photonovel. Good intell Clint, I am about half tempted to see if I can talk you into picking me up one of those xwings. I will hold fast for now.
-
They are down to one, buddy. Just to let you know. I would have fp d this one but didnt want to bump your q&a story down the list just yet. Well, too late now, I guess. I will write a review on the O droid later and do a story on that.
-
TPM Legacy Wave Figs made their first appearance last night at a local Target. Previously I had only seen these at Walmart.
They did not have Rumsleg, of course, because that is the only one I am interested in. Frigging karma!
-
Well, this week is about to end with 0 new toys, the first time in recent memory. What a soulcrushing lull this is.
I feel at this point I have to resort to subversive tactics. One of our local Targets has had almost completely empty figure pegs for weeks now (all they have left is 4 old CW figures) which I find totally unacceptable. I have been thinking about doing this for awhile, but I finally went ahead and printed up a sign which I left yesterday on the empty pegs. It read as follows:
PLEASE RESTOCK YOUR STAR WARS ACTION FIGURES!!!
YOU’VE HAD THESE SAME LEFTOVERS FOR WEEKS…
LEGACY TPM WAVE IS OUT NOW!!!
SERIOUSLY, PLEASE ORDER MORE TOYS – THIS IS JUST SAD
Do I think this will have any impact on these slacker's likelihood to fill those pegs? Not at all. Did it make me feel better to scorn them publicly? You bet it did. >:(
-
Go back this evening with another sign ready for action. ;D
-
I'll be swinging by there after work for sure...but I don't think I'll smack them with more signage just yet. I'll save the next salvo for Monday.
-
Sometimes, it just feels better on your end. Of course, perhaps the manager in charge of that section of the store will see it and wonder and look in stock only to find several cases that were never put out becuase the stockers were lazy! We can dream, can't we?!!!

I'm thrilled to state this story has a happy ending. They had nothing again yesterday after work, and of course my sign had been taken down, but lo and behold I happened to swing by today on a lark and they had the whole TPM Wave out!
I GOT MY RUMSLEG!!!
Sure, maybe it was a coincedence, but I'd like to think of it as Toy Karma.
At any rate, I am super psyched. I'm officially off the Hunt now! I have Everything!!!
-
Saw the Geonosis Arena 2 packs FINALLY yesterday at Target...1 full case on the shelf, all 6 were still there. (Easy pass for me)
Anyway, it's nice to see SOMETHING new out there, even if it's Legacy swag.
The new Deluxe Vehicle Fig sets are still listed as Out of Stock on Target's website. >:(
And no sign on new battlepacks! >:(
-
Bring on those new battle packs, I say! I figured I would pass on the Geonosis 2 packs but that atrt needs to be in my grubby little hands. I havent heard any sightings of the atst so I havent been looking.
I plan on going to the TRU, this weekend and you know what that means............my wallet is bound to get a bit lighter.
-
ordered the new TIE fighter from taget cant wait to get it and tear into it.
-
I've been trying to find the snake armor from ROC(it would look rad in my drome) for weeks, nada, :(
-
just got back from target with 2 salucami troopers they had like 15 0f em on the pegs, anyone want to trade?
-
In case anyone missed my posts elsewhere, Target now has their 2 exclusive TCW Batle Packs in stock. (At least in the back room)
I was able to score both last night by using the old DPCI Jedi Mind Trick (087-06-0751).
I love all the figs, but I'm not wild about the new packaging. (Taller/flatter)
Good luck!
-
McMetal, thanks for the info as I used the same trick at my store and brought those battle packs home today.
The sales person said that they wernt supposed to hit the floor till the 22nd.
They also had a decent selection of the slave leia wave of legacy figures.
-
My local target has just loaded up the shelves this morning with the SW build up. Back up are Xwings, the new Target Tie, tons of new BPs, and not out yet but on the cart the very helpful lady had were a few cases of figs. If your looking for new goodies it may pay to give your local Target a visit

If anyone sees the serpent armor from GIJOE pick that up for Narceron!
-
I'kk check back later, you want minty or are you an opener?
-
I didn't see any at my store, Simon. My state line Target store was alot like sarge's. I seen one red 5 x-wing, two sets of Geonosis Arena 2-packs marked down to $9.99, the exclusive new battle packs, one geonosis assault, one endor, and one geligrub battle pack, plus their figure pegs were full of minty figures from the slave liea wave.
-
Damn, I wish I had stuff I still needed. (Ok, not really)
I definitely hope we see that next wave of TCW figures before year's end.
-
I was in Target yesterday in their holiday section. I know we don't normally go to that area to look for cool SW stuff, but I thought everyone might get a kick out of these.
There were ornaments, tree toppers, lights, and items for your car =)
-
2 more
-
Pretty cool stuff! I need to go look and see what Hallmark has out too.
-
I saw the Yoda tree topper and I really wanted one, alas I didn't snag one, but have been whinning about passing it up for over a week so hopefully Sue takes a hint.
-
In store only target deal. SW vehicles assortments for $17.99
-
Daggone, I miss not having a Target near me. I was gonna hit one yesterday too. Daggone snow.
-
Nice price, I may have to swing by a Target tomorrow depending o the weather, I may be liker, Tamer and get snow bound
-
That is a good deal. I could use a Vader's tie fighter that I have been passing on.
-
That is a good deal. I could use a Vader's tie fighter that I have been passing on.
I thin segnett was selling one cheap, if he's ever around.
-
Local ones near me had nothing worth getting...
dont like the JSFs that much and not big into droid tanks....
-
any serpent armor for simon?
-
None near me...
-
found a great deal but same as always it is the evolution pack of the rebel 3 pack ;D
-
Keep watching for those clearance Wedge X-Wings and the big wing ties.
-
I went to the Target closest to me(Chesapeake Va) the only thing on clearance was the Geonocian Arena 2 packs. The X-wing and Ties were still full price.
-
if anyone see's a price for TCW or TLC build a droid or any figure on sale let me kno as soon as possible ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I hit a local Target last night out of sheer boredom and was stunned to find they had the new TCW wave with Hondo and Aayla! AWESOME!
I already gots mine from the TRU, but it's great to know the Big T is a player again.
Good hunting!
-
Yepper, I haven't heard of Target being in the game since the Clone Wars line came out!
-
I found the Hondo/Aayla TCW wave AGAIN at a different Target this morning. Crazy!
Still no Wave 2 or new BP's or deluxe vehicle/Fig packs. And my hunting for the weekend may be about over as it is snowing very heavily here now. :-\
-
im going to go and check next week because of the snow in minnesota
-
Plus if you know filmakermike from youtube he showed what he got from target which was a TCW BP Ambush on Abergado they where on clearance for $12.98 so next week I will be hitting target and see if my target has it on clearance.
-
Found TCW Wave 2 remnants at a local Target Friday night. All they had left were a few repacks and a Snow Anakin. Frigging Stone and Sidious eluded me yet AGAIN. >:(
The spotty distro of this Wave is the worst since the Legacy TPM wave. One case hits one store one day and then it's gone.
I can walk into any Best Buy in town and find the exact same merchandise in each one. Why can't Target and Walmart maintain that kind of consistency?
-
i kno why cant they ?
-
Believe it or not, the Target's near me are the only stores to get newer figs in with any kind of regularity.
But by the time I get to them, they have sold about all of the figs from that wavve that I want...
Like Stone and Sidious and all the other figs there are only one of per wave case.
And the fact there is an Ebay seller offering up all the "missing figs" from these waves dont help my chances much.
But I have been able to pick up a few from this seller for less than actual cost or just over quite often and regularl...
Just not all of them. And none of them are MOC...
I hate resorting to Ebay for most of my figure purchases, and it bothers the wife more than it does me.
-

Dude, I could write a book on that subject. ::)
Target got me lifted big-time today...2 full cases of TCW Wave 2 was on the pegs! (Ok, it looked like 1 Stone and the Talz were missing but it must have been pretty recent) I was able to score my missing Stone and Sidious. They both look AWESOME!
Better yet, it means I can quit hitting the Wallys and Targets in my area until the new BP's come out.
New toyzz!!!!
-
Still know new wave and the shelves are about to be over :( :( :( :(
-
Found the whole new wave of comic packs at Target this morning, so I went ahead and snagged the Blackhole set. I always dug the SW comic strip so this is a good addition to my offbeat niche collection.
-
Yeah my mom picked up 2 figs for me she told me that the first or second wave of 2010 wasn't here :( but its ok ;D
-
Not to be outdone by Walmart, here is what the star wars section looked like at the Blue Springs Mo Target.
Just pitiful, folks. Toys r us is really showing you guys up.

-
its either that or TRU is cornering all the stock........
-
Maybe we can hope this is just a sign they are getting ready for the new stuff. I hope. If anyone sees new vintage prices snap a pic and post it and I will fp news it and make you famous!

Here was the scene at the Lee's Summit super Target on Friday afternoon.

damn i have to go today and see what for sale
-
What's funny is, I had read that Hasbro was going to fine retail stores $200 for EACH ITEM found on the pegs/shelves before the release date of 8/1/10. I wonder if they actually followed through...
On another note, I've been to three targets in two days, and the last one I hit today was the mother lode. I had to pass on the new BAT-AT, only because it would take away from my CV funds, and I can go back and get another AT-AT any time. I DID, however, pick up my cloud car. I also passes on a Pre Viszla, Mandalorian Cop, and more VTSC Cloud Car Pilots, due to lack of cash on hand. I also had to pass on the variant Archangel with Death Mask from the Marvel Universe line. It's funny, I've seen the variants from this wave, but not the regular versions!
-
I went to my closest one today and didn't see squat. I wish Hasbro could fine the ones that don't have it out by the due date. What a waste of gas.
-
I think if you guys were to go now, you'd be impressed. Check out what I found!
-
All the Target stores around me are out of the Hoth exclusive packs. If you guys see an Imperial pack can you pick it up for me? Just to be clear I'm talking about the one with the Hoth AT-ST.
-
I am going to a target on Sunday so I will look. I think these should probably be at clearance prices probably now if I do find one I will let you know.
I am also thinking those exclusive nine packs are gonna be about nuts to find, especially momc due to how they are packaged and then boxed to the store so that is one I am glad good ole Clint found for me.
-
I just got back from our local Target and they didnt have much...
The same pegwarmer Vintage figs... 4LOM and Dengar and a few Han's and Luke's.
No new Clone Wars except the Cad Bane and Assassin Droid 2-packs for $7.49... no Senate Commando packs in over a month.
I did find me an AT-AT for $69.99 and was so so close to also picking up the Vintage figure 9-pack for $24.99... they had about 15 of them, but it was enough that my wife let me get the walker. I put it off and never saw them for less in stock.
It was the last one and it was pretty minty... before I opened it.
My wife said she may go back and get me the 9-pack later this week if they still have them.
Here is hoping she does, and that they still have them at that price.
-
I figured the Yarders might appreciate the heads up on this if you are in the hunt for some of their exclusives or hard to find items.
This first one I have never seen on the pegs and to be honest it took a lot of hunting to find it on their site. They have one that says sold out, but this one says in stock! If you didn't get one you just might be in luck.
The Clone Wars Mandalorian Warrior with Speeder for $17,

Now I can't say for sure as I haven't gotten mine in yet, but this might be a nice way to get an unpunched Rebel Hero Set Three Pack. I am crossing my fingers here thinking if these are coming from a warehouse they will not have reached the pegs yet. And the nice thing about this one is they will ship for free if you order over $50 dollars of em. I ordered just one as Clint already has me a minty unpunched one, so it would take three of these to get the shipping discount.

Like I said, I came across this looking for some other items and knew it might come in useful to get some of those harder to find items. It is getting so running to store just costs too much for me for gas and then I am only finding empty pegs. The only bad thing is unless you get $50 dollars worth of the right items you will have to pay a shipping fee and pay tax, but for eight bucks for my order I figured I saved about thirty bucks in gas alone one way. Happy hunting Shipyarders!

So I stopped in at Target today after hitting Home Depot, and saw that they had reset things in the toy aisle. I saw some things I liked, others I did not.
Star Wars: They had reset and the TESB Comemerative packs were up. Not impressed, really, though in pretty good shape (Shawn, let me know if you still need the one you showed above). Other than that, there was absolutely nothing new.
Captain America: The First Avenger toys are out, and I'm super impressed off the get go. The figures look ok, nothing too exciting other than my chance to get the Ultimates version and a good Winter Soldier sculpt. What impressed me was the array of vehicles for this line! Mid and Large scale vehicles, ripe for customizing. Just saying. The articulation looked decent on them, though not as good as say a Marvel Universe figure, oddly enough.
Green Lantern: Not impressed. The sculpts, especially facial sculpts, looked pretty damn good. Too bad there was about as much articulation as there were on the Tron figures. The head, arms, and legs were on pegs, the waist swiveled and that was it. No articualtion in the elbows, knees, wrists or ankles. Shame, really.
-
Pat, thank you very much for asking, but I got one shipped in today and Clint has me one too. I wanted to order online and see if they would send it unpuched and it was!
Sad to hear your report on the GL figures. Guess it will be up to you guys to chop em up and make something good out of them. I must say though that the larger figures in this line sure did catch my eye with all of the GL characters and the Scarlett gal and what not.
I can't wait to find some time to go see all the Marvel Movies. Thor, CA, etc.
-
Pat has hit hit the nail on the head with those GL figures. Man I bet their fans are upset! There are some great alien head sculpts that I hope to get at discount later. From the neck down they may as well be a statue, but wait, you can move the arms up and down! haha

I know, right? I was so looking forward to these, and the detail is actually pretty good with a SHITTY articulation. Those heads will be nice to get, and even nicer if we can get Doc or Clint to cast!
-
Target is officially relevant again, I picked up almost all of TVC Wave 7 there after work today. Good luck!

Well that is good news. Was Fordo among the living?

does anyone know of a dcpi # for the taun taun packs yet?
-
I found out those dpci numbers from yak face.com
Luke's tauntaun "beast only I believe" and the land speeder are both under this number

The search for Luke tauntaun pack with two figures is under this number
087-06-1749
They are supposed to set these up on an end cap but if your stores don't have em displayed, try giving these numbers to a stockman or customer service person and see if they will pull em out of the stockroom for you.
Happy hunting.
-
As I reported in the new purchases thread, these hit yesterday in the Virgina area. This vintage line makes me wish I had the money to collect carded and boxed figures and vehicles again. I will just have to open the boxes, remove the goods and display the empty box. Great intel Clint!
-
Thanks, LE. I will be hunting for myself and Tamer tonight.
-
you know, I am in the best position, I work at Target, I get to pick stuff before the store opens and we havent got ANYTHING new since the purge :(
-
the dcpi report read that no stores in the greater KC area had these in. I guess that they havent made it to my side of the country yet.
-
Sweet, these are hitting!
Thanks for looking for me Clint. I sure appreciate it. Can't wait to get my grubbies on both of these.
-
SAw tons of the new Exclusives last night at 3 different Targets so they are out there! Happy Hunting! :)
-
My store got them in last night...I took a few min checking them out, the boxes look cool, but I'm not a box collector. I want the Landspeeder but $25 for the single Taun Taun is too much since you can get Han, Taun Taun, and rebel trooper for $25.
Now if we only have them when I get paid
-
Isn't that the truth Spooky!?! I will buy 2 of the Han packs and mod that Taun Taun into Lukes with the broken horn. I mean what are they charging for the package art?
-
That would actually make a very good ask hasbro question, if they decide to answer the round I send them in.
-
Stopped by a target yesterday to investigate the rumored "everything star wars sale" and found most markdowns to amount to 25 to 75 cents off of everything.
No new tvc figures were found or new joes for that matter.
I did snag a couple of sl space troopers and another search for Luke taun taun set
-
My local targets at Houston, TX have the CLone Attack Shuttle marked down to 39.98 so I picked me up one

I was going figure shopping the other day and rather than waste a trip the other day, I gave my local Target a call to see if they had any gi-joe figures on hand.
I was told that this store wasn't going to carry any for the time being and heard the same story from another Target that I frequent. Now this seems strange, what with the new movie line waves hitting retail and all and after considering how slack their star wars selection has been of late, I started to get a bit upset.
Has anyone heard of dcpi numbers being released for the new retaliation wave?
I put it to you, corporate Target heads, as I know that you frequent this thread often enough, get some real figures in stock or you have lost my business.
-
I work for Target and from what I understand the DCPI for TVC SW figures are being discontinued so we wont be getting any in for the foreseeable future, GIJoe might be the same way, I'm not a Joe fan so I never bother looking at those.
-
Between Hasbro and the heads of toy departments that do the ordering for the major brick and mortar stores there is so much disconnect I almost feel the same way I do currently about most politicians.
They are just too far removed to make realistic decisions. How can someone who makes hundred of thousands of dollars a year understand what we need from our government and how can those folks, along similar lines, ever make sane decisions regarding the toys kids or collectors want. I just try to keep my blinders on as the realism is too depressing for me to face.
Ok, rant over.

I was in a Target yesterday doing the dpci trick on a couple of Joe Ninja Dojo packs and noticed in their paultry selection of a star wars isle that they had lowered the clearance price of the darth maul returns pack yet again to $5.98! You guys know how I roll and being the good intentions dealing guy that I am , I was inspired to help them decide that they needed to restock their star wars isle and liberated every one of the maul packs that they had left to a far better home at my house.

LOL its Clint the star bargain hunter!
-
Leave it to Clint to get a ton of three packs for not even half the price you would pay for even one action figure.
-
Hi Guys,
Get down to your local Target Store NOW. They've reduced TVC down to $2.98 for a single figure and the three packs (droid, snagletooth) down to $7.98 each.
I scored 16 figures for just about $51.
-
yup, my Target is closing out (clearance) the Star wars stuff, unfortunately, we dont have anything but a lone droid 3 pack....
-
I am hearing reports that Target is not bringing back the SW product until this fall. Kinda sad, but good deals around.
-
Spook - how much is that Droid pack? I'm working on some goodies you'll NEED in your Hoth dio that I'd be interested in trading... 8)
-
$7.98 (if we still have it)
what did ya have in mind?
-
Echo Base Rebel computer console - cast in resin. Still designing the master for it. Nail that droids set & I'll sent you cash if you'd rather. I'm easy - I just want those droids! lol
-
k, I'll look tonight and see if they are still there for ya
-
Roger roger! TYVVVM!!!
-
*sigh* Doc, the one we had was gone and I check another Target and they are out as well, we had a bunch of these at $24ea, now none at $7.98, I'll keep my eyes out tho
-
Thanks. I'll take pretty much all the Target Droid 3-packs at that price anyone can find - I'll trade my casts, send money, loan out my kids, whatever... we can work a deal on these!
-
I walked through a target yesterday looking for the new joe waves and these jokers still are sitting on their wave 1 stuff. They are really screwing the pooch this time as by the time they put out their wave 2-3 stuff, everyone will already have it. Looks like clearance fodder in their future. no 3 packs were present on their shelves.
No new repack wave in their SW isle although i did get a vintage fig for the $2.50ish price at a different store the other day. I will have to dig around and find that pic. Seen the new release little vehicles on the shelf for $19.99 and this Slave 1 caught my eye. Packaging looks good but man, this box is really thin. This vehicle can't be very big at all.

I forget where I read a review of that ship the other day. When I saw the cockpit and its relation to the overall size of the rest of the ship it was just awful. I think some folks are trying to use this one for their Kubriks. Nough said.
For collectors this one will never sell. Kids might be interested, but this one will be a good test. They sacrificed size to keep it at a cheaper price point.
-
I'm thinking about getting one and modding it to be a "poor man's Firespray clone" scout or something...

That is an idea too Doc.

I was thinking it might work for the smalller line of 1.5" unleashed figures or were they 2"?

Lets roast my local target again.
Went in on a mummers quest to find new star wars and joe stuff. Should have known better than to try the Blue Springs MO target store.
Joe wise, the last time I was there, they were still holding onto the pipedream that if they didnt stock waves 2 and 3 that the masses would buy up the wave 1 fodder from last year.
Well it looks like after a clearance event that they have cleared out most of wave 1 but being as they only have 2 shin level pegs dedicated to joe figures now, my guess is that a restock wont come. Oh, and look at this.....they raised the price of the ninja showdown sets from the standard $19.99 to match the higher walmart price of $23.99.
Good job, Target, that lower price on that one item was the only thing that might have warranted a return trip, which wont come from me.
I wont even mention the star wars section unless you are interested in peg warming episode 1 figures and those new 12 inch plastic turds that hasbro has been wasting case space with.

Just when I thought there might be a little hope that distribution was improving a bit. Guess not!
-
I was lucky last week and able to pick up a Darth Malgus before he was cherry picked like everwheres else I seen his lines at
-
Checked my target for the 6 inch line today. Saga legends, mission series and that's it. No peg spaces for either the 6 inch line or any joes for that matter.
I think I will stage a target boycott.

Target is not pegging the 6" line, they are sitting them on the shelf just below the pegged figures. My local Targets have the 6" line in this manner, check the shelf tags the next time you go, you should see the stickers for them there :)
-
My Target has the six inch line out but they arent on pegs they are on the shelf under the pegs...however theh clearenced out all th Joes and theres no space saved for any new Joes.
-
Well that stinks about the JOES, but good news for the six inch stuff.
-
Target is doing ten percent off all purchases after their credit card fiasco.

Wow, it has been awhile since this was updated. I wonder why!
Looks like TARGET is getting the new six inch deluxe packs now! Stores on the East Coast from FL or Wisconsin are reporting scores.

I tracked em to a target store close to work in Blue Springs, MO but they couldn't find em over the phone. I found the case of three pieces buried under some other toys cases on a skid back by the men's clothes. Case of sw rebels masks was opposite side of pile
Deluxe 6 inch black series Case read 8-03 but computer said sell em. Case holds two speeder bikes and one jabba
It's exciting to find new stuff.

Craig F. reports to JTA that TARGET starts to put their exclusive TVC Cave of Evil 3-pack on clearance.
It's not on clearance online yet, but found in stores for $19.99 (50% off). One forum member shared that he found it for $12 including tax! So keep your eyes open for this set if you want to add it to your (Vintage) Collection.
It's also worth taking a look at the comment section! Some people shared how they modified that Luke figure. As you know his arms are cotroversially duscussed.

JTA reports that readers found more units on shelves and it was avaiable online twice the last couple days. So it might be worth to keep watching their online store.

I just got this in from our Hasbro folks:

Wow, nice savings.
Time to take this to the front pages.
Thanks for letting us know Philipp.
-
Seen this posted in a toy isle at my local target.
Their average selection makes this sign really funny as this store never has much of anything.
I guess army builders are not welcome.
-
Now, this is a very interesting turn of events. I guess TARGET gets quite a bit of feedback by their customers.
I watched two new videos on YouTube by Victoria's Cantina (https://www.youtube.com/user/VictoriasCantina) and Out of the Basement (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAqLUV73tkt36C661z1f8Q), which I really recommend to watch if you haven't already. All three moderators cal the issues with TARGET on point!

I'm sure Victoria would be interested to see your picture, Clint. Mabe there's a chance you can send it to her via Instagram.

Oh god, don’t tell me that 50th black series wave is a target only wave.
That means we won’t be able to get them on their site or in the store
Remember the lovely gi joe classified exclusives that were shortly distributed and never found by most.
Cudos for making them, boo on you for not getting it into my hands
-
My closest target is two hours away.
Isn't that new Blue Leader X-Wing a Target Exclusive?
-
I'll never forget how lucky I was when my host mother took me to TARGET once for all. It was almost an hours drive away, too. Lucky I was to have found the SOTDS Hoth Multipacks there for $39.99 each. They had one of each in Muskegon, MI. One of my luckiest memories of my time as an exchange student. I got so lucky with my host family...

Great news, let me go share that to the front pages.

This price must be a mistake in the system, right? I mean the MRSP was $39.99 at the beginning which was already steep, but EIGHTY DOLLARS?! What in the holy hell is happening?!
This set is currently on clearance here in Europe for 20€.

Just a heads-up to all of my collector/customizer friends:
Target has some insane Black Friday online only deals on action figures today!
I just placed an order :)

I took screenshots for future history books. Many amazing deals at TARGET!
Man, I was so tempted to buy that Hammond Collection T-Rex for 16 bucks...
