Just a quick heads up for Transformers Power Core Combiner fans. Target has lowered the price of the 5-Packs to $9.99. The sale runs until 3/5.
The new Target exclusive Star Wars 9 pack has begun to hit store shelves across the United States. This “special action figure set” includes nine figures from The Empire Strikes Back and is priced at $49.99. If your local Target still hasn’t put it out on display, the DPCI is 087-06-1620. Happy hunting!
If you still haven’t picked them up, Target also has their exclusive Hoth gift sets on sale for $34.99. The sale runs through 12/18.
If you’re looking for the latest and greatest Star Wars toys, you’ll want to swing by your local Toys R Us. The retailer has opened a Star Wars “shop” in the front of its stores with a wide selection of toys from both Hasbro and Lego. My local Toys R Us was fully stocked with AT-AT’s as well as the exclusive Slave 1.
While out running errands today, I stopped at my local Target. As usual, the store didn’t have anything new. However, I noticed that, like Toys R Us and Wal-mart, they had dropped the price of their Star Wars toys. Clone Wars, Saga and Legends figures were all $4.99 and battle packs and vehicles were marked down to $22.99 and $19.99, respectively. Star Wars Transformers were also marked down to $13.99, but even at this price, I’d be hard pressed to buy them.
Someone at Target must have noticed the pegs full of Tuner Mudflaps weren’t selling so they marked down deluxes to $8.99. Scouts were also marked down to $6.99, which is still a dollar more than Toys R Us. The best deal was probably Voyagers, which were marked down to $14.99. These price cuts run until (I think) 6/2.
Target has slashed the price of its exclusive Star Wars Geonosis Arena Showdown sets from $12.99 to a more reasonable $6.99. This sale was not being advertised at the stores in my area. However, the sets rang up at this price.
Yakface is also reporting that Target’s exclusive G.I. Joe deluxe packs are scanning at $6.49. If your store still has them, the first wave of basic figures are also ringing up at $3.49.
If you missed out on the Blockbuster Value Two Packs that Walmart had a month or two ago, you’ll want to hit your local Target store. There have been numerous reports of people finding two packs of Legacy and Saga Legends figures for $7.49. Thanks to Jedi Temple Archives for the picture shown below.
Target stores are also getting in two packs of Transformers Crossovers toys for a mere $16.99. If your local store doesn’t have these yet, be patient. Most stores are still trying to clear out the toys left over from the holiday shopping season and will be stocking the shelves with new items over the coming weeks.
While Target is known for their radical clearances, they usually wait a few months before slapping red tags on their exclusive items. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised to see that my local Target had marked down its new G.I Joe, Star Wars and Transformer toys after only a few weeks. These things weren’t exactly hot sellers, but with them marked down 30%, they’ll probably be gone by Christmas.
While Black Friday is still more than a week away, there have been numerous reports of people finding the new Target exclusive G.I Joe, Star Wars and Transformer toys at their local store. While doing my rounds this morning, I found an entire end cap full of them. Along with the Wedge Antilles X-wing fighter, they had two new Star Wars Clone Wars battle packs, the new TIE fighter with updated cockpit and the G.I. Joe Past and Present Rockslide ATAV. On top of that, they had all three of the new Transformers exclusives. Thanks to Computron34 of the TFW2005 boards for the pic.
If your local Target hasn’t put these toys out, you can use the links below to check and see if they have them in stock. Using the DPCI number, you can then have them pulled from the back room.
If you missed Toys R Us’ Transformers Universe sale the first time around, you’re in luck. Until August 5th, you can pick up Universe Ultras and Voyagers for 50% off. As before, the sale does not include deluxe class Universe figures, ROTF toys or the exclusive Universe Ultras.
Looking to get the new Star Wars Turbo Tank for the special kid or Star Wars collector in your life? Before you drop $100 on the toy, you’ll want to check out this deal. Target.com is currently running a promotion where you get $30 off a Hasbro purchase of $90 or more. This alone brings the price down to a more digestable $70. However, you can apply coupon code 4MMHDHBE during checkout and receive an additional 10% off plus free shipping. Depending on the tax in your area, the end result is a price of about $65.
Update: Well, that didn’t take long. The Turbo Tank is already sold out.
Update 2: The 4MMHDHBE coupon code is no longer valid. Use the code S6BP388J to take an additional 10% off.
