Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your perspective, Target is already
running a 40% off sale that has really cleared out the shelves. At least
that's the case at my local Target (So. CA). About the only thing left are Mag
Wheel Master, Cyberslam, a couple of Robo Raptor (w/ crushed boxes), and
Nights Lords Castle. Some of the adventures, as was discussed prior,
apparently missed the sale scanner and languish alone on the bottom shelf.
I doubt there will be any "after X-mas" sales here. The shelves are BARE! :^0
Of course it may take a 50-75% off sale to move those new '99 sets. My
programed buying will only kick in at about 50% off for most of that junk!
Ninja's excluded.
Well there is always WalMart.
