  1. Wow! Can barely keep up with this thread now!

     

    cberrytech-thanks for checking the Geotrax airport for me!!

     

    So I sucked it up and drove to Branson last night and any of you in the SW MO area should definately make a run today! I went around 5:30ish and they had aisles and aisles plus a whole back wall FULL of toys!! Lots of Smart Cycles (prob 8-9), Air Hogs (10+), and at least 3 biscuits (all at 50%) and pretty much a few of everything that's been mentioned so far. About 1/4 is 50%, the rest 75%-I didn't see anything only 30%. I didn't see Spike (bummer), Kid Tough DVD players, or Didj systems, but most of the other toys were there. Finally found my Buzz Lightyear, but he was 50%-got it anyway. Also got lots of Yo Gabba Gabba, Mad Science Dinosaur thing, and Cranium games for 75%. Very happy with me trip (and happy with the incredible self-control that I exercised!). Will be running by the Springfield store after work (and after a stop at ON) to see if anything's left at ours.

  2. Springfield, MO seems to be about the same as everyone else. LOTS of toys on clearance, but only a portion marked down to 75%. Most still sitting at 30-50%. All the 75% stuff was loaded onto rolling carts for people to pick through. None of the stuff I was wanting was 75%.

    Springfield is overshopped! I so wish we'd get another store in town. Did you see any of the geotrax airports or any Legos?

  3. Ok, dumb question. My store is 30% off. When they go to 50 or 75% off do they go off the clearnance sticker or by the original price. I am really wanting to get a globe for ds7 and the tag reader for ds4. THanks I live at least 40 minutes away from Target so I can't go check everyday. WHich is probably a good thing:tongue1:

    It will be 50-75% off the original price.

     

    I definately think the toys will get marked down this week. Yesterday several different employees mentioned toys resetting this week and lots of activity (this was Springfield MO). Still tons of toys, but I've noticed that there seems to little variety-just lots and lots of the same toy. Looks like the really misjudged demand on certain toys.

  4. I saw Spike on 30% off clearance at my store last night. I also saw the Leap Frog Didj combo (it was Star Wars themed) and the Vtech creative studio thing (it has a camera and desk).

     

    My dd got a Vsmile Cyber Pocket (the pink one) for Christmas and it stopped working on us. I was trying to find another but they were apparently put on clearance. One store in town supposedly had some but I ended up finding it at Toys R Us for about the same price.

    I would LOVE to find Spike at 75% off-I haven't seen any at ours since well before Christmas, but if any GD's anywhere close to SW Missouri see one when toys go 75%, please let me know! I'll take a day off and make a road trip for that one!

  5. Went to check on any change in the toy situation in Springfield MO last night and they've marked down lots more stuff but most of it is still 30%, though a decent amount was 50%. I did notice that they marked down that Biscuit dog to 50% now (is now 89.xx). Anyway, I'm not in the market for it but if anyone in the area is, it might be worth checking in on as they still had at least 6 or 7 of them and might still have some when toys go 75%.

     

    Best part of trip though---found several packages of Christmas cookie dough (my boys are CRAZY about sugar cookies), one set of the Soap and Glory and someone's hidden wreath (the metal bells one-Beachwood Holiday or something like that). Anyway it was reg. 24.99 got it 2.49! Really hope it wasn't one of you guys' hidden treasure though!!

  6. I totally lucked out today! Found three Mars Mission Alien Mothership Lego sets (reg. 49.99) for 75% off (12.48). They were just sitting on a clearance endcap with the last bit of remaining clearanced toys (the leftover junk), not marked or anything. I hadn't even seen these when I was trekking all over Missouri in search of clearance Legos, so I'm not sure how they magically appeared-must have gotten lost in the back or something. Happy day for me!! By the way Springfield shoppers-I only bought one; left the other two!
  7. Chesterfield, MO Target served me VERY well yesterday!!! This what I picked up (was on a mini-vacation; only so much room in the car), but they still had tons of toys and baby stuff (most toys were 75%, Legos were the only thing I saw that were only 50% and baby stuff was anywhere from 30%-75% off). Lots of carseats left.

     

    ### Graco Vie4 Stroller 24.98 (75%)

    ### Spongebob Legos (the boat school one) 24.98 (50%)

    ### Star Wars Sith lightsaber 4.98 (75%)

  8. I finally have great Target news. I went to the Lake, which is about an hour away. They have great stuff in the winter, because the population is only about 2000. In the summers the pop soars to 150,000, so I never have bothered. Boy, was I stupid!!! Our local one has 200K people to a small store, and you can never even park. This one had about 10 people in it today.

     

    They had 2 aisles of girl's sandals at 75% off, I snagged 4 pairs for $10 for next year.

    Dora no spill bubble container 1.48 20 402 0852

    Nemo and Pirates slip n slides $2.48 20 402 1914

    Backyardigan's water thingy.. it squirts as you run through a maze 2.48 08 803 0272

    Diego picnic table/chairs/umbrella 4.98 204 09 0898

    and a Hot Wheel bike race or foot race thing that times and clocks the participants 6.48 087 07 1714

     

    The Bistro Grills were gone, and so were the hot wheels radar guns. They had a bunch of Thomas the Train steam engines, Pirates of the Carribbean action figures, and Play Wonder all at 75%.

    Hey neighbor! I just left our Target about two hours ago and they still had at least 3 of the radar guns if you're still looking! Very little play wonder left-I really wanted the climbing dome!!

  9. Ok, I SERIOUSLY think the other Springfieldian on here, you and me should all write to Target and tell them how badly they need another store in Spfld!! I'm moving back next summer and am dreading the fact that there is only one Target!!! I filled out one of the survey's from my receipt and when it asked what they could do better, I went on and on about another Target in Spfld. I think the Spfld Target sucks and I think it's because there's only one tiny store for all of Greene county! I told them Greene county has 250,000 people (info from census.gov) and one tiny store. I live in Johnson county, 500,000 people but 7 stores...yes 7!!!!! I don't want to move back!!!!! :( LETS WRITE THEM CONSISTANTLY UNTIL THEY PUT ANOTHER ONE HERE!!! PLEEAASSEEE!!!!

    Other Springfieldian here and I definately agree! I can't believe we only have one, and it's not even a SuperTarget at that! I also struck out today, as I was looking for the same stuff as ameyers (dollar spot and baseball). What a bummer... In defense of our store though, I do really like the employees (except the bald old guy at checkout-he always gives me crap about coupons!!) I did notice lots of new toys on clearance-there are quite a few lego things I'll be keeping my eye on...
