raycesmommy Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I was at my local (Iowa) Wal-Mart last night and thought I would note some of the toy clearance I came across. Nothing spectactular (although I did get my son a set of number puzzles (1 to 20) for $1.00). They had some Leap Frog floor puzzles for $3.00. I did see that the Fisher Price Piano cartridges were marked down to $7. They also had some Thomas the Train Duplo lego sets marked down to $18 and $13 respectively (I will be watching these to see if they go lower). They had these in a specific clearance section, but also had clearance toys through the toys aisles so keep that in mind. Otherwise nothing really caught my eye, but I was also in a hurry as my hubby was with me. LOL Just thought I would share.....
mf47960 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I also noted this on the website section but I got my daughter the Talking Dora Kitchen on clearance on Saturday for $35. She was pretty excited.
cacsmama Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I was able to score the diego jeep from Black Friday for $59.00. I had looked everywhere for one right after and there were none to be found. This must have been a return, or they found it in the back. Wal-mart.com still carries this for $120. So needless to say, I was quite happy!

What Wal-mart did you find it at?
loved1 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I visited a MD WalMart that had a toy clearance aisle with everything on that aisle marked 40% off.
tmnt Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I scored some The Batman Shadow Tek figs for $3 (originally $6.97), G.I. Joe Kung Fu Grip Adventure Team figs for $5 (originally $9.96) and POTC dual action battlers for $5 (originally $9.96)!
lovetoshopCA Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Walmart is a serious Your Mileage May Vary kinda place for clearance! They do it at the individual store level, and ours is HORRIBLE! That is putting it nicely. They had the same stuff in the clearance section for 2 full months without making any major markdowns. they just left it there taking up space. They apparently get a budget for their markdowns, and they can only do so much per period. It is allocated from above, but they have to do it manually at the local level. We almost never get good deals. Those Legos you mentioned would never go below 25% off. They'd just sit on the shelf until someone paid that price.
nikkilugi Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 One of my stores had 40% off select toys - I got a Lego Star Wars Sith Infiltrator for 40% off at $19.00. It is a limited edition and my son will love it for his birthday this Tuesday. There were other toys as well in the 40% off sale - you just had to look for the signs under the toys. Another Wal-Mart didn't have the 40% off it just had some random toys marked down some. I have to agree the Wal-Mart's in my area don't really mark down very much. I think a lot depends on how busy they are. There is a Wal-Mart near me that is PACKED most of the time. It is the only Wal-Mart in our little suburban area for at least 15 miles so everybody here in Olathe shops there. I can't wait until the other Wal-Mart opens on the westside of town so maybe the store won't be so crowded.
aidansmommy Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Checked my Wal-Mart yesterday and most of the toys that are marked down are at 50% off. I am holding out- my local store always marks down very low in January, sometimes more than 75% so I will keep checking.
saiynee Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I was in walmart last night and the clearance was horrible. I also checked some stuff that I know was clearanced on line, and in store was three times the price. Not like I need anymore toys anyway.
cacsmama Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hello STLmom... The power wheel was in Union, MO.
madi5 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hello STLmom... The power wheel was in Union, MO.When were you at the Union Walmart? Did you see that Caranium Fort thing that was marked down. I meant to go back and get it the other night but I didnt.. I wonder if its still there. Guess I will stop on the way home
staviles Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Was just in the Maplewood, MO Walmart and very little left at 75% off...did get some of the lip gloss sets for $.72 for valentine and easter baskets!!! There were hardly any toys left either in the toy sections or in the Clearance aisle!!! They did have a lot of garlands and ornaments and wrapping paper left as well as dishes and cups (the glass kind).
stlmom Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 The Arnold MO Walmart is at 75% and all the gift/food sets and candy are still 50% either way they are still pretty wiped out, I wouldnt waste your time if you are planning that trip.
stlmom Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Hello STLmom... The power wheel was in Union, MO.Thank you!I think we need to make a St. Louis deal finders thread. There are alot of us!

Guess I will stop on the way homethey are definitely clearance at Target, and they do theirs at approximately the same time nationally, so you can bet on finding it. Can't remember if it was 30% or 50%, but they had a lot.

Same here, I've been in 2 different Walmarts this week, Totally inconsistent on markdowns...& the same junk in the clearance aisle(s). Picked up a Spiderman 'wall-graffix' at one store for $1.00......Saw the same thing today at different store marked down to $7.00 !!??!!
amyers12345 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Our Walmart still has L-Max's on clearance from last year for $65, but clearanced this year's for $35. I only know this because I saw the tags below the empty shelf.
hannahs_momma Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 My walmart had this http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2310725 on clearance for 25.00 but on the walmart site its 79.99 lol
noehlp Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Ran into Wal-Mart today to get some stuff for school. And walked by the bicycles. There was a girls' 20 inch bike, mainly white & pink colors, on clearance for $21. There were two of them in my store, the same ones at the same price. Then there were some of the little iddy biddy bikes with training wheels for clearance price of $15. I THINK one was a Diego bike, but don't quote me. And I don't know the size but maybe 12 or 14 inches, quite small. Hth someone!
fluffkin79 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 My Wal-Mart's clearance was mostly disappointing with a few surprises mixed in. Many "Clearance" items were less than 10% off. The good = Dora talking doll house $4x.xx The bad = many still full price in the clearance aisle The ugly = BF $5 kids jammies (yeah, the even too low-quality for Wal-Mart, extra-small, tissue-thin ones that nobody who actually looked at them bought) now $4.96, lol.
leefamily23 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Someone mentioned Walmart being very YMMV---- our Walmart still has toys from last Christmas (2006) in the clearance aisle at the same price they've been for over a year. Our's is really bad.
o_arlene Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 my walmart have the christmas pj's from 9.50 down to 6.50?? what kind of deal its that??? I hate my walmart
zinnbball Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 mine marked all their pj's (pants, sets, wms and kids) at 1.00, 2.00 and 3.00.. it is so wierd how they do their mark downs... same exact stuff is at another store about 5 miles away for the full price!
momofhaylee Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I found little girls pajamas at my store for 2.00 a piece. Princess flannel pajamas, ariel 3 piece pajamas, and dora the explorer velour pajamas.
o_arlene Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I found little girls pajamas at my store for 2.00 a piece. Princess flannel pajamas, ariel 3 piece pajamas, and dora the explorer velour pajamas.I would have to check another walmart to see if the price is that good!

davephillyj Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Our Walmart clearanced ALL 2006 Christmas and mark down toys in Nov 2007 ( 3 isles of toys!) if it was over 30.00 they marked them $5 anything that was clearanced 29. or under was only $1!!!! I missed the first day and most was all gone. I got a couple of 70 items for $5!! and tons of $1 items. I LOVE my Walmart. It is also the most organized and cleanest I have EVER been in. Arab AL
