Hoping to score some clearance sets, I hit 10 Targets in the Kansas City area
today. Most had a meager selection of sets, all at 50% off. Here are my
findings in case this helps anyone else in their search.
1. Calling stores ahead of time seemed fruitless. Stores that claimed not to
have any Lego sets at all generally had the same selection as other stores.
2. One manager claimed that markdowns would shift to the next level 5-6 days
after the most recent markdown. He thought his store went to 50% off on Sunday
and suggested to check again this weekend.
3. The same manager said that his store adjusts the markdown overnight.
4. Another store claimed that the last markdown happened on New Years day,
which makes me wonder if tomorrow might be the day for 75% off.
5. Besides an abundance of NBA collector sets and a few small Harry Potter and
Star Wars sets, there were very few larger sets in quantity. The Hailfire,
Designer sets, Mars Rover, NBA arena, and Privet drive were the most common
larger sets to be found.
6. Avoid the stores in affluent suburban areas. Soccer moms tend to clear the
shelves of most deals before they hit the final markdown.
Hunt well,

| I also checked several more Targets lasst night in search of the elusive 75% discount. Findings were that all are still at 50%, except for the one store that has no sale! (all at list price) All AT-AT's and TE's are gone, Hailfires were marked (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)
