Target Toy Sale July 24 - Aug 3

[Paulbot]

Animated Bulkhead was $35/36 this morning but I'm not sure if that's a sale or regular price. The movie scout toys were not on sale, and it didn't look like the movie deluxes were either (but I didn't scan those).

Most people in the TF aisle seemed to be grabbing Movie Voyagers. Every person I saw with them had at least two and most were holding three.

Couldn't find anymore Ani Deluxes but 3 Blackarachnias, 2 Ratchets and 3 Lockdowns, but I got what I wanted. The Electronics section seemed to be popular.

Oh and the Transformers Movie DS games Autobot and Decepticon were both on sale for $25.

There wasn't a special aisle at the Target I went to, everything was displayed where it originally was.

Animated Voyagers are indeed selling at $36
Movie Deluxes are at $25 (i scanned it just to make sure) same goes for the Allspark Round Deluxes.
Not much Animated Deluxes but can still see Bumblebee, Lockdown, Ratchet, Blackarchnia, Optimus Prime and Prowl.

Yeah...agree on the Electronic section! A long queue lining up. Probably getting the Wii or new DS Lite. Oh, I've grabbed a spare Animated Ratchet and Blackarchnia for Paul but he doesn't need it anymore. If anyone wants either of them, please PM me...else it will be returned by tonight or tomorrow.

Went to the Target in Forest Hill and saw:

- 4-5 each of Movie Voyagers First Strike Prime, Offroad Ironhide and Evac and at $19.99 each it certainly pissed me that I bought those 3 from ebay at $30.95 each! Argghh!
- Quite a few Animated Deluxes too, at least 2-3 of each Prime, Prowl, Blackarachia, Ratchet, Bumbee, good place to go if you still lookin for it. No Animated voyagers though
- Also about 7-10 Ultimate Bumblebee, quite a few animated 2-pack prime+megs
- Movie deluxes like Jolt, Divebomb, Big Daddy etc, Leader, FAB, Scouts but all seem to be at RRP...

I was one of those hogging the electronics queue; got the Wii bundle, extra nunchak and controller and Wii carnival games to put on layby. The funny part was that I made up my mind since last night to get the PSP bundle, but for some funny reason when the sales girl came up and ask me what I wanted, my finger automatically pointed to the Wii bundle!

Where are they hiding the Universe figures?

Yea, movies at my local seemed to be rrp too.

My local target just had:

Movie: Just the deluxes that noone wants. No voyagers. The only voyager I saw (evac), was in a display case in the shopping centre.

Animated: Everything BUT bumblebee. Scalpers must be trying for this one too.

Ultimate bumblebee was just sitting there. Noone wants it either.

JuzMel a similar thing happened at the Kmart sale to me and my girlfriend... The planned PS2 turned into a Wii, I can't wait to get it.

I got most of the stuff I wanted at the Kmart sale so Target wasn't all that exciting for me for Transformers, however we did get some DS and Wii games today.

Bloody Vultures have been through the only Target near me, the TF aisle is all but cleaned out and no MP's to be seen. I have been looking for the past 5-6 weeks at my local store so I could put one on lay-by. I left my name and contact details and do you think they'd call. Thank goodness Kyle has managed to get one put away for me at another store but I'm still really PO'ed with the service at my local Target. Unless they have a store exclusive I'm willing to pay a little extra at the opposition, yes I know this is cutting my nose off to spite my face but it's the only thing I can do to vent my frustration.

Um, I don't think every single Target nationwide received MP-4's... (if that's any condolence )

Haha, yeah somehow the Wii has a "pulling" effect on some of us! It still chalked up to $518.95 in total because of the extra controller, nunchak and carnival game. But the good thing about the layby that morning was because it was a busy sale morning, I didn't have to pay any deposit, the guy just took my details and stuck it into my pack of items and asked me to go back and make a deposit on it in 2 weeks time. Which means there's still time to check if there's a better deal elsewhere, but my boyfriend and I did check the EB Games and JB Hifi website and still the Target deal seems the best, so we'll prob stick with it.

As for MP-04s, I only saw ONE on the shelves when I was at the Forest Hill branch. And you know what? Just as I was leaving, I saw an old couple (prob around 70-80s) picking it up and walking away! I hope it's for their grandson or something.
