"Both Springer/Ratbat & Dirge/Roadbuster comic packs and both Animated exclusive packs have entered the first round of Target clearance pricing (30% off). Target sales are nationwide so chances are your local Target store has marked them down already. These are not available online on Target's web site."
Take a look at your local Target if you are interested in finding these exclusives at a reduced price, and help your fellow collectors out by reporting to them in the appropriate thread in the Sightings Forum!

Usually when an item goes on clearance they don't restock

I haven't seen anniversary Prime marked down anywhere...But I think $50 is still too much for it...$70 was flat-out rediculous, even with all the extra stuff it comes with...The colours are awful and the short smokestacks suck...

I did not have a receipt, but they were able to look up my purchase because I used a debit card. Since they would not price match, I asked "What if I bought these right now at the sale price, and then I hand them back to you and have them credited as a return of the regular price purchase?" The guy smiled and said I was smart man to have discovered the loophole. I bought, then returned the items and ended up getting the price difference back.

There is a loophole. When I saw these on sale, I went to the customer service desk with them. Since I purchased these about a month ago I asked if they could price match and was told no because of the above information.

Yea, I found my receipt for that and the GI Joe UBP and plan on picking them up on sale tomorrow and bringing them back in with my original receipt. I don't feel too bad doing it with all the cash I have been dropping there, and it gives me an excuse to "reinvest" in Stormcloud with the cash I get back. Been looking for an excuse to buy him for a while now.

At least 7 that I can think of within 30 miles of me (Fort Worth/Dallas area). They are Targets with grocery stores, optical and little eaterys in them. Nice if you like avoiding the rabble at Wal-Mart.

Thats the set I want
I was told by our price change mgr that they will take another mark down on wednesday so that means I can finally grab this set on clearance

My thoughts exacly. I don't really want it, but if I can roll them up at 75% off eventually, it will make damn good birthday presents for my friends kids. Gotta use anything I can to help lay the groundwork to one day motorboat a few of their sister-in-laws.

I don't think I'll get Springer/Ratbat unless it's on a sale...
Hopefully it'll happen soon.
