I also visited one Target store today (S.E. US) and noted a 30% clearance
markdown on about 40% of the Lego sku's. Items *not* on clearance at that store
were any of the "My Own Train" kits and the two large Harry Potter sets
(Hogwarts castle and the other one whose nam escapes me at the momment). A
fairly large stack of 4105 (IIRC) buckets were just inside the front door
marked to $7.49 (25% off I think). I do not expect any further toy markdowns at
Target for at least a couple of weeks.

Also, at a TRU nearby, they had a fairly large stack of 3420 Championship
Challenge II on sale for $19.97. Is this a corporate markdown ?

(...) I saw the same price at TRU in Gainesville, FL for 3420. Most of the boxes were pretty beat up and open in some cases, so I figured it was a damaged goods mark down. -Scotto (24 years ago, 25-Dec-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
