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.

Transformers Animated Optimus Prime vs. Megatron – Possible Black Friday Item At Target?

While Thanksgiving is still more than a month and a half away, stores are beginning to stock up in preparation for “Black Friday.” While out shopping with my family, I came across a bunch of the Transformers Animated: Battle Begins sets with Optimus Prime and Megatron. Along with the six or so on the shelf, there were nearly 30 sets up on the riser.

This is pure speculation at this point, but could this set be a “Black Friday” item? Given, these sets aren’t selling very well, but the last time I saw so many Transformer toys was when they had the Star Wars Millenium Falcon on sale a couple of years ago.
