Small Scale Military Headquarters

I know we have talked about Target clearancing all their FOV stuff, but I just had to announce that I bought a US halftrack tonight. It was marked $13.98 but rang up at $4.98! It cost me more than the 1/72 Sherman I paid $5.58 for!

I usually don't get the great deals everyone else finds, so for once I felt the toy gods smiled upon me.

and I thought I was getting good buys.

Congratulations!

With clearance stuff at Target it always pays to run the item under a price scanner!

The local Targets (Nebraska) have not discounted any FoV that I have found - Drat. No new 21C/Target stuff either. I need another halftrack, a 105 and a Lee for parts, but nothing is on sale locally. Count yourselves lucky.

Good find Olifant, and thanks for the heads up! As soon as I read your post I made a mad dash to two of my Targets to check and only one had FOV stuff marked down twice. I picked up an extra Stuart for $5.74.
The 1:72 stuff has also been marked down again, tanks at $1.98 and soldiers for $1.72, picked up a few, prices might vary elsewhere.

No 21stCT yet in my AO, I think I might have to wonder around at the Targets near the 5 Fwy to find anything...

None of the Targets in my area had much FOV to begin with, so there is nothing on markdown for me.

There is FOV stuff marked down in Targets where I live but I already have most of all there 1/72 scale and 32nd so I dont really need anymore.

My local Target has essentially no FOV, so clearance isn't helping much.... Pity, I'd love to get a Stug for less than the $22.99 at TRU, or a buy on some of the 1/72 pieces. Maybe next year

Noticed a Stuart for $4 at Target tonight. Too bad I had no money left and all I was doing was exchanging one GI Joe vehicle for another.

I hit another Target today and picked up 1/72 armor at $1.98 and Cossack cavalry for $1.48. Even better: five SW Incinerator troopers for $1.66 each!!!

I've noticed with toys it pays to hit all the endcaps. These were about five aisles down from where they should have been. Note: I had hit this Target before and they did not have what I bought on the shelf. I think they either dug them out of the back or got them in from the warehouse. I think it will pay to keep hitting the local stores until it is obvious there is nothing more in the supply stream.

My goodness, I love finding military toys on clearance.

I've never even seen any those.

Silverdale WA had the FOV 1/32 marked down. The halftrack was $4.98 the bradleys were $6.24 and Abrams the same.

Holy hell! To think I walked right by those Abrams and Bradleys, oh man, I already got a ride and I'm going today. I was going to wait another week to see if 21st came in but oh no, I'm not letting uber-clearance tanks slip by me! Hell, those 1:72 Stukas and 262s might be game now...

Oh, how I love this forum.

My bad Rows; they weren't incinerator troops but the red guard clones. I think I would have bought five of the tatooed Annakins for the price!

Made the official rounds today. With my wife's blessings no less. Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Orange City and Stanford Targets.

Saw lots of 1/72 stuff for $1.98

Bought all the 1/32s

1 Stug and 3 Stuarts

2 P-51s
3 P-51s (Normandy)
1 Spit (Normandy)

Well, the Bradleys, Abrams and Stugs were not on clearance... Not even the 1:72. In-fact, everything was full-price. BUT, I found the new Fw-190 and Double Nothin'. I got the Fw-190 as the P-51 had bad smudges on the tail. They also had the new Sherman playset and FOV WWII figs.

Ahh ok. LOL!

I was at a Target that had 4-5 FOV 1/32 M5 Stuarts 1-2 months ago and hoped to find one on clearance. In the FOV section, all the clearance stuff was gone, and as I was leaving, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a Stuart in another aisle in the middle of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. It was $20 marked down to $4.98.
Another Target had the FOV 1/32 P-51 'Cripes A Mighty" for $19.99---it was in the wrong toy section, too. I passed on it because I just ordered a BBI 1/18 Cripes A Mighty---the FOV version looks like a toy.

I was in Durham NC this past weekend and was able to pick up 20 boxes of the 1:72 Cossacks/Russian troops at $1.48 each. Other than that, they only had a few modern 1:72 marked clearance. Wish I would have run some of the other stuff under the scanner.

I'm back in Pittsburgh now so will have to check the one near me.

No, but I did get some funny looks!

I picked up a couple extra 1/72 M113 armored personnel carriers if anyone is interested in a trade for other 1/72 armor

I'm really wondering if my Target is going to put their FOV on clearance. They have the Stug with riders, as well as Abrams and Bradleys...

My targets had these also, they were not marked down. It was the Italy "44" STUG that was on clearance.
