Check your Targets today. The one I hit this morning had toys 75% off today (FYI Thursday is the day Target reduces stuff - who know what day Walmart does it). BBI figures were $1.28. Parachute figs were $1.48. For those interested, GI Joe Cobra legion sets were $6.48 (got a few more). Usually, all stores do 75% off on the same day, so its worth checking. Was nice - pretty much have my kids' birthdays and Easter bought for now. :wink:

Most of the Targets around here are almost or totally out of the BBI figs.
Our local target had 75% off as of yesterday.
I was wondering if ALL Targets did the 75% off thing, guess they do.

iflabs said "Still stuck at 30% off over here." The toy signs here say 30% off but lots of them are scanning for alot more off.The signs here actually 30% or more off so scan to be sure.

what iflabs is sayng could mean that the prices haven't marked down.

around here, some stores are still 30% off, even if you verify it with the price scanners.

but a few stores managed to get their stuff at 75% markdown, like:

FOV Abrams - $7.48
bbi Apache $7.48
Cobra Legions - $6.24

sweet jeez. my wallet is screaming.

Every Target I have been to is completely worked over and picked clean of all BBI and FOV stuff.

Of course, I have been doing most of the picking myself! 8)

That is just crazy. I would suggest to anyone that they purchase any of those items at those prices, even if the item is not up your alley.

And just think, there are people on ebay paying $25 - $30 EACH for the BBI Germans.

Just came from Target, no sale stuff left except 3 modern Seals. Did pick up all 6 of the new Bravo Team WW2 US figs and they only had one of the Germans left so all is well. The BT stuff was full price btw.

Howdy guys, first time poster here.

I was able to take advantage of the Target clearance today as well. I managed to pick up the last M1A1, two LAVs and two HUMVEEs for a total of $30. I generally stick to WWII stuff, but I just couldn't pass up those bargains. By the way, I only had to knock down two soccer-moms to get that M1A1. :D

Saw the same thing here. Only figures though, the BBI vehicles are long gone. Still amazing though and I agree with Digger, load up that cart.. ! :D

just a fair warning, sometimes that site is kinda wonky or not really returning results. could be a strain on their servers.

Okay - what if I am looking for a product that is NOT on Target's site?
Like the FOV Tiger or Sherman?
How do I get the:
ASIN: ___________ or
DCPI: ___________

from the box?

you can check out Amazon.com if they have the Tiger or Sherman listed under the ASIN number that they got.

or bug any member here who already purchased the tanks. the receipt will show you the DCPI numbers.

I'm going to walk to my Target tomorrow. It's less than a 30 minute walk, and I love to walk. I need some 1:18 stuff... Just got paid, YES!
