kmart additional 50% off clearance toys June23-July6.
I didn't find much except a 7347 for $30.
Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance this week.
Des Plaines didn't have much either - they had a bunch of Gandalf Arrives for $5.00 each, which I picked up for birthday party favors. Other than that, they had a couple Ultrabuild Jokers and a couple Series 1 SW planet sets, but that's it. Even MF (the few they had) were all still regular retail, as were the SW Striker-class Starfighter sets that were marked down on the kmart.com website (earlier - sold out now).

A single ninjago spinner pack was all that I found. Hopefully they'll put more stuff on clearance once they get the summer sets.

Shelves of Lord of the Rings Lego at full price. Is this the only K-Mart that doesn't clearance these?

Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance this week.
Hey, RobertDD,
Did you use a scanner to check the prices? I found some Urak-Hai Army sets and some Monster Fighter Crazy Scientist sets in Salem NH about a month ago that weren't mark as clearance, but when I scanned them, they were $11 and $18.50 respectively. If any of the sets turn out to be clearanced, and there are extras of Weathertop or Helms Deep, please feel free to let me know. it would be worth the trip to get those sets at a discount.

I checked all my locals and the only sets on clearance were the few remaining ones from the last clearance, Monster Fighters Crazy Scientist and Saesee Tins Starfighter. Scanned all the oldest sets and nothing else was on clearance, lots of Chima on sale though but doesn't qualify for 50% off.

I checked some of the likely candidates at two stores: Saesee Tinn's, Republic Striker-class, Shelob, Excavator Transport, etc. No luck this time.

Hey bob l.
Nothing is on sale. I always scan. I would love to pick up a few uruk hai sets at $11. Did you leave any in Salem? I'd drive down for those.

3 kmarts with absolutely no lego on clearance. Only one had th uruk sets still but at full price.
Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance this week.
Found 8-10 copies of Friends 3938, Andreas Bunny House for $3.50 in New Orleans. Only bought one.
Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance this week.
My Kmart hasn't clearances anything since the Dino theme back I think in Jan or Feb. Only summer sets they have in are Lone Ranger that aren't even in the Lego section, they are on an end fixture by the air conditioning units (go figure). They have a lot of the Ghost Train and Vampire Hearst which I'm waiting for them to markdown.

I bought a couple 9466 - Crazy Scientist sets for 18.50/ea.
Nothing else came up on clearance. Babylon, NY.

Found some SW Series 1 Planet sets marked at 7.99 (so 3.99) but nothing else on clearance. The store hardly even had any clearance toys at all so the 50% off looked pretty sad.
Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance toys June23-July6.
Pasadena, MD had MF Scientist/Werewolf in stock. Rang up as full price. Manager wouldn't lower the price. Apparently the TnB forum wasn't too convincing.
Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance toys June23-July6.
I was told that K-Mart has headquarters pricing, so store managers do not, in general, decide what's on clearance and what's not. However, K-marts are divided up in zones, and some zones may clearance an item when other zones may still have it at full price.
It makes no sense to me, but it must make sense to someone.

Makes sense to me. Vast majority of retail stores do not allow store managers to set pricing as they don't have access to the data on how it is selling, what the markup is, when the next delivery is etc.RobertDD wrote:I was told that K-Mart has headquarters pricing, so store managers do not, in general, decide what's on clearance and what's not.

Zones are probably decided by distribution center locations hence price discrepancies between stores.
Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance toys June23-July6.
Oh, that part makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense is that an item that's sold for $11 (50% of $22) in one store is sold for $30 in another store (real example: Uruk Hai Army). Why would an item not be clearanced everywhere at the same time?willb2064 wrote:Makes sense to me.

I saw two different Chima Speedorz (Eglor and Leonidas) for $5.50 (unmarked) at the K-Mart by Rutgers University in NJ. Plenty left.

Does anyone know when the next 50% off clearance promo occurs?
