Is the soccer pack http://guide.lugnet.com/set/78800 ?  The MSRP is
not listed for that set.  But based on the price of the 3403 Fans'
Grandstand with Scoreboard, which is one of the 3 sets in 78800 and
MSRP's at $15, it sounds like a good deal.


Target's price for this was $15 however Wal-Mart had it for $20.  So Target
currently has it at 30% off.

MSRP for Watto's junkyard is $50; T-3 Trike and flash speeder, $10;
roboriders and droid escape, $6.  So it looks like mostly you saw the
same 30% off that I saw, but Watto was half price.  The Wattos I saw
were about 30% off IIRC.

Same for Watto's Junkyard.  Target reduced the price of this set about six
weeks ago to $35.


Also, does Target match the prices of other stores in the area?  IOW,
if the price hasn't been lowered at my local store(s), do I have to go
to San Lenadro to get the cheap Watto?


It has been my experience that Target does not price match on clearance
items but it never hurts to try.  You are much better off with a Target
receipt that shows that you paid a certain price for an item in another
store.
