Basically $2 for the three character packs and $5 for the coffins. I considered letting them drop, but my Targets are in very populated areas and clearance items tend disappear fast.

my Target went to 70% off about two or three days ago.

A Target in Wilmington, DE is selling the Christmas and series 2,3 & 4 3-packs for $1.98. Not many 2, 3, and 4 packs left. I finally got my Riled up Riley. Still no Johnson though. There were plenty of the Christmas packs left.

Looks like Targets finally took discounted these to 70% around me, 4 stores were all marked down. I know one store had 3 of the series 4 12 packs but I couldn't find them today.

The Targets in my area have packed away all of the remaining SLUGS and they aren't selling them any longer. A couple stores had tons left yesterday and I was going in today to get some 70% discounts, but they're all packed away. The manager says they can't sell them. Anyone know what that's all about?

I'm only guessing but maybe they made a deal with the remaining stock to sell it back to Jakks or to a discount chain. I would imagine the old stock will end up at Ross or a Dollar Tree.

Anyone seen these at any discount stores yet?

After the 70% markdown they get trashed. They all ended up in the dumpster; crushed with all the other 70% toys.

only perishable items are thrown out.

That's not what the employee filling shopping carts with discontinued toys told me.

That would be pretty horrible, to just throw away new toys when they could be donated or something.

I work in Wilmington, DE and there are several large children's hospitals in the area. I volunteer for one institution and we collect discontinued toys from a lot of stores. As long as they are still in the package the hospital will take them. But I don't have a breakdown as to which stores participate.

I saw them at Goodwill today.

[rah2jr]

How much?

[RoRi]

Interesting. I wonder if they just go to the nearest goodwill? The lady also had a lego set in her basket that she wouldn't sell me. I'm going to have to stop by goodwill... I noticed my Target got rid of there left over Trash Pack this week too.

I just bought series 2, 3 and the Christmas set over E-Bay (never found them in the wild here in Québec - don,t think they made it, and Target are just about to appear over here) and they came with clearace tag tags from Target.
