Is it just here in Detroit, or does Target's post-Christmas clearance
stock seem unusually sparse this year?

I made a stop at one of the Local Target stores on the 24th, and there was
NOTHING to be found!  There were maybe 15-20 lego sets TOTAL on the shelf.
I was totally amazed, i'd never seen any store that low on stock.  Must have
been a hell of a clearance sale.

Today, out of sheer luck, I decided to stop at another local Target.

I scored:

8 Mos Espa Pod Racer sets @ $54
2 Technic Motors @ $22
1 Rock Raiders HQ @ 48

I was surprised that they even HAD 8 pod racer sets, let alone that they
would have them AFTER Christmas.

The also had (I bought all of the above sets that they had):

2 Gungan Subs @ $30 (No other Star Wars on sale)
5 Amazon Ancient ruins @ $48
Small quantities of various Nija sets
Com Link Cruiser

I didn't buy any of the later sets because I ran out of money.  :/  Oh well.
I'll see if the Mail Man brings me anymore money tomorrow and try some of
the other local Targets.

(...) *sigh* All you non-thrifty people buying things at 40% off just totally destroys any chance of me finding them at 70% off in a few weeks.

(...) The Target across the street from my apartment was the same way. The amazing this was that it was NOT clearence prices that emptied their shelves. Most of the good stuff was gone BEFORE they even got to the clearance prices. TImbo (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.mi.det)

<whine> Hi all, Is it just here in Detroit, or does Target's post-Christmas clearance stock seem unusually sparse this year? I've been trying to buy up Space Simulation Stations, and across five Targets, I've found exactly one--wait, amend that, I (...)
