I think it depends on the WM. It seems here on the east coast they quickly discounted the last round of planes to $30 and the vehicles to $15-19. Then there's always the crazy $1 figure stories and $9 AC...
Overall one thing is for sure is that the distribution is still clumsy and there is no discernable pattern of clearance across the board. They make a lot of money so they must have some idea what they are doing with what they send where but it often seems to make no sense.. :roll:

I have seen very little XD in my local Wal Marts clearanced, save for 3 items: the $10 M113 APC (non RC), and recently the Soft & Hard top Hummers & Dodge WC-51 dropped to $19. The aircraft are never clearanced and there are plenty of "Red Nose" ME-109Gs from last year still sitting around at full price. There was another store a little further out from my local area that has a very good selection of "Eagleston" Bubbletop P-47s in varying levels of condition. I find it really sad when I come across what once was a great XD aircraft or tank that has its box totally trashed and parts of the toy missing and is still marked at the full price :roll:

Same here, I went in one day to buy the S3 RC PZ IV marked down as $29.99 and went to the checkstand and it came up as $12.00 (Needless to say, I ran back and grabbed another one). Then the next day I thought I'd go back and check the RC Modern APC. It scanned up as $9.99 even though it was marked as $29.99. I bought 2 of those too. Now the rest of them are still in the store with an inch of dust on them for $49.99.
