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.

Toys R Us is running a sale on basic Star Wars figures this week. Normally priced at $6.99 each, Clone Wars, Legacy and Saga Legends figures are now two for $10.99.

If Transformers are your thing, Toys R Us also has Revenge of the Fallen deluxe figures on sale for $7.99. This is a pretty good price considering they normally go for $11.99 at TRU and $10 at Target and Walmart.

While most Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys have a street date of May 30th, this hasn’t stopped some stores from putting them out early. There have been a number of reports of people finding everything from Legends and Bumper Battlers to Voyager and Leader class toys at Fred Meyer stores along the northwest coast of the US.

Otispq of the TFW2005 boards also found the first wave of ROTF deluxes at a Wal-mart in American Forks, Utah. Unlike other folks who found these toys, the computer did not prevent him from buying them.

The new Target exclusive Animated deluxes have finally made their way to the U.S. Astroscream of the TFW2005 boards found Rescue Ratchet with Legends Prowl and Starscream at a Target store in Chula Vista, CA. Oddly enough, there was no sign of the other set with Stealth Lockdown and Legends Prime and Bumblebee.

If your local Target hasn’t put these sets out yet, you can try to get them pulled from the back by using the DPCI 087-06-2068.

I usually don’t shop at ALDI, but come the holiday season, they usually have some good deals on toys. This week, ALDI has a number of Transformer toys on sale. According to their online catalog, Transformer Animated deluxes are $7.99 and Star Wars Transformers are a mere $9.99. Transformers Legends figures are also $3.99, which is a good dollar cheaper than anywhere else. Last but not least, they have the Transformers Animated Cyberspeed Bumblebee listed for $16.99.
