Someone returned empty-handed from a Target and was wondering if the
rumored sale was a hoax. I can assure you that it is not.
I visited four Atlanta area Targets today. I spent a total of $125, and
got the big fiber-optic UFO set, both smaller light-n-sound Insectoid
kits (Celestial Stinger and Sonic Stinger, I think), Treasure Raiders
(with the big mummy case) and two new Adventurers kits, the Pontoon
Plane and Spider's Secret. As I figure it that's about $200 at full
retail.
1998 Ninja, Insectoids, remaining UFO, Town, Duplo, Technic, all of it
is at about 40% off. If the boxes don't have red tags, scan it! I
scanned the big UFO kit and it was going for $46, although the sticker
on the box said $80. Most of the stores I visited did not have the red
tags, yet everything was marked down.
The only exceptions I noticed were the two big 1998 Adventurers sets,
which were still at $70 and $45, although even that is less than they
were when they were introduced. The only bad news of the day is that I
was unable to find an Arachnoid Base (the biggest Insectoid kit) in any
of the stores. But the good news is that I saved enough to buy it at
/ _ _ / _ _ Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.
