New Star Wars, Transformers and G.I. Joe Toys Now At Target

Kremzeek — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:50:30 +0000

Yes, the summer toy drought is finally over. While Toys R Us jumped the gun and put out many of the new Star Wars and Transformers toys a few weeks ago, Target stores are in the process of resetting and stocking their action figure aisles. At two of my local Targets I found the Star Wars section jam packed with everything from Legacy and Clone Wars action figures to the new vehicles and battle packs. One even had high ticket items like the AT-AT and radio controlled Hailfire droid.

Transformer fans will also want to hit their local Target. The stores around here are packed with the first wave of Legends, Scouts, Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders. They even had Human Alliance Jazz and Battle Ops Bumblebee. Also keep your eye out for Target’s new exclusive sets, which include two deluxe sized robots in some pretty garish colors. Needless to say, these will probably be on clearance in a few months.

Target doesn’t seem to be dedicating a lot of space for G.I. Joe. However the new Pursuit of Cobra toys are also starting to trickle out. My local Targets had a few pegs for figures as well as some shelf space for the vehicles and Mech suits. From what I’ve seen, these toys are a big improvement over the movie line and should be a big hit among collectors.

Target Drops Price Of Star Wars And Transformers Toys

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.

Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys showing up at Targets along the west coast. Both the wave 4 (Ice Cream Skids and Mudflap, Jolt, Blazemaster and Dead End) and wave 5 (Arcee, Swerve and Stalker Scorponok) deluxes were found at stores in southern California. If that weren’t enough, the fifth wave (Long Haul and Grindor) of Voyagers and forth wave (Nightbeat and Ejector) of Scouts have been sighted at some stores.

The Target exclusive Bruticus Maximus has also started to ship. Christoph Prime of the TFW2005 boards found two sets at a Target store in Colorado. I have yet to see any of these toys in my neck of the woods, but its only a matter of time before they hit the entire U.S.
