Just came back from the Woodinville Target, and many shelves were empty. It wasn’t busy (– I arrived around 11:30am), but the wait at the cashiers were > 10 minutes. =(

@Jacy I am fairly certain the summer type stuff gets marked down on Thursdays as well (I think they consider it part of the sporting goods department). In the years past is has always gone down two weeks or so after the big toy markdown.

I shopped midday at Target in Melbourne FL and there was still quite a bit left, not sure when 75 percent started this day. However, some legos were 75 off and some still at 30 off when I checked the scanner. I did complete my shopping needs for toys and games for a year! For 75 percent off got Barbies, Moxie Girls and Littlest Pet shops, some legos cars 2 sets, lots and lots of games that were originally 25.00. I was also able to find some girls’ mixing sets and there were quite a few cute doll strollers left for 4.00 or so. I know the Glee game was only 2.48, but I didn’t need that. Another shopper and I were really PO’ed at the other store near us that lied and said the sale wouldn’t happend until Saturday. She told me she had gone to Palm Bay and it was already done. We both had gone yesterday and he told us the same thing – not til the weekend. Why would they lie? Anyway, Melbourne had plenty for me, but it’s probably really gone now.

Our toy department was marked down, but here’s something interesting… some Targets do 70% rather than 75%. I know that’s only a small difference, but it was sort of buggy to find out that my Target only does 70%.

Oh, and all the summer stuff was still 30%. Christy, do you know what day they typically mark down that stuff? (the water guns, bubbles, etc)

Legos in Ft Wayne IN also were only 30% and 50% I even had them double check. O well 50% is still great for Legos!!! I got everything I wanted today!! Then hit up K Mart take and extra 50% already marked down clearance toys. All in all a great day and Im done with Christmas and birthdays for the rest of the year!! Bought gifts for 5 kids plus a few extra unexpected b day gifts for $308.18 after tax!!!!!!1

75% off in Billings, MT — West End & Heights — although the Heights was a little slow at getting everything marked this morning (I was the annoying lady asking, “And can you scan this one, too?)”!!!!!

I’m in the same boat as Leslie regarding (most of) the Legos – they only went down to 50% here in Richmond, VA. I was able to get some Cars 2 Duplo sets for 70-75% off (I don’t understand why stores in the same area wouldn’t all be exactly the same!) But the Atlantis and City sets that were on clearance stopped at 50%. But I still got a ton of great stuff!

Just came back from Farmingdale, NY….44 toys for $220…. Markdown crew had not yet started…but two very helpful Target employees appeared with markdown guns/printers and helped 3-4 of us that were shopping. They were very patient–thanks to them both!

Legos are at 50%….that was my only disappointment after seeing some say it was 75%! LOL!

Will take some pictures once I unpack the car. Remember Mindflex–the hard to find toy? $89.99…was $17.48!!

Going to hit a few more local stores to see what I can find.
