I went yesterday, and the clearance was 15%-30% off. Do y'all think it has changed?

You guys finding LR sets on clearance are lucky!

Around here all I could find (checking 5 different targets) was Mirkwood Spiders (at 24.98, and 20.98 at two different stores), that Superman set for $13.98, and a a couple of SpongeBob sets.

Lots of LR on the shelves but none marked down (ditto for the new Castle sets). Random LoTR, and Hobbit, but only Mirkwood was marked down.

Well, I have been avoiding this forum like the plague over the past couple months, in an effort to save money (!), but I couldn't help checking out Target this morning. Sure enough, the big toy clearance had started, which means 50% off remaining clearance LEGOS. In addition to 3 Mirkwood Spiders for $14.99, I found 2 Uruk-Hai Army for $14.99, 1 Quinjet for $34.99, 2 Spongebob Heroic Heroes set for about $8, 1 Spongebob Flying Dutchman for about $12. The one Vampyre Castle had been sold, but there were a couple Werewolf sets - only one was marked $9.99, and it was clearly a return, so I don't know if the others were on sale or not - that I left. I also left a couple small-medium Creator sets, as my son has little interest in that line. This was the store in Highland Park.

Stopped at Target in Leesburg, FL during my lunch break and found most of their on sale sets had just been marked down by 70%. Picked up some nice TMNT sets, Hulk, Spiderman and more. I left some sets on the shelves. Plenty of $60 Galaxy Squad were marked down to $18 that were still on the shelves...as well as a few Superman and others.

Never thought I'd get that lucky! Good luck to everyone else.

I picked up Mines of Moria, Mirkwood Spiders, and Uruk Hai army for 50% off msrp. If I remember correctly, Target does their clearance mark downs on toys on Thursdays.

My Target has had 30% for 3-4 weeks now. Anyone else not seeing further markdowns?

^ My store was sitting with quite a few sets at 30% for a few weeks as well, but then at the beginning of this week probably 99% of the stuff that had been clearanced became regular-priced again even though they're still in-stock on the shelves. The only thing still clearanced this morning (at 50%) was the Kamino planet set. Very odd.

Picked up a few items in East San DIego this week:

$24.48 - Vampire Herse
$9.08 - Captain America
$17.48 - Creator Cottage
$6.98 - Small Fire set

$23.98 - Galaxy Squad - Space Bug Obliterator - got 70% off !!! :)

Make sure you scan all of your items, as many of my items were not marked down in the stickers. :)

Left the $83 Star Wars Malevolence, as I don't collect Star Wars (thankfully for my wallet)

Same here, picked it up! West View Coral Springs FL Target had it, along with Quinjet for $35 (didn't get it though). The two in my area had NOTHING else, though.

I bought:
Mirkwood spiders for $14.98 (50% off)
Black zero escape for $5.98 (70% off)
Hobbit game for $10.48 (70% off)
Uruk hai army for $25.48 (15% off)

This is the best luck I've had with clearance items since target had indiana jones on sale a few years ago. There aren't usually many sale items around here.

Redondo Beach, CA had two Battle of Helm's Deep (9474) this morning for $90.48 (30% off), located on an endcap near the card games. It looks like most everything else that was prepped for clearance went off the shelves during the prior week when I was out of town. =(

Both rang up at regular price, but they honored the stickers.

Picked up a few more 50% off items in East San DIego today:

$6.48 - Captain America
$9.98 - Prisoner Transport x2
$14.98 - Mirkwood elves

Crazy all how one target marked down only a few toys items to clearanced and another store had 2 walls of clearance toys! My spouse also got quite a few other toys too for future gifts, so we both went home happy. :)

Found some sets up to 50% off in Tacoma, WA two days ago.

Prisoner Transport 9.98
Mining 4x4 (Marked as 10.18 on clearance but rang up 50% off)
Lego Hobbit Game 17.78

There was also a Forest Police Station, but when I went back to check if it had been marked down again it was sold. I visited 5 Targets in the area and most of them were picked over.

Strange. I went to a target yesterday and the same creator car was stickered 50% off but rang up full price. They did honor the sticker though.

No clearance at my local Target. The stickers on the shelves had 'clearance' next to them, but none of the sets had clearance stickers and even those with a shelf sticker marked clearance rang up at full price.

No clearance in Lexington, KY. Though to be honest, there were several sets on clearance a week ago and all of those are now completely gone. I assume they've just sold out of stuff at both locations here.

Found some Ninja Turtle Sets at 70% off at Target in Pueblo, CO, including 79101 Shredders Dragon Bike, 79103 Turtle Lair Attack and 79104 Shellraiser Street Chase. None had any clearance stickers and they were on an endcap separate from the other clearence. Might be worth scanning a few if you're at Target.

Visited two places in the Pittsburgh area (North Hills and Airport) that had a ton of 15-30% clearance recently and nothing now, so I guess sometime this week they went into "real clearance" and were gone.

Interestingly, in one store I saw stuff at full price (a Galaxy Squad, Daily Bugle, etc.) that was on clearance elsewhere.

Just like Willb, my local Target in Nashville had little signs next to the regular prices saying Clearance but nothing I rang up was lower than msrp. Very disappointing.
