A lot of small "educational" toy stores (e.g., Learning Express in PA) tend to sell the minifigures significantly above MSRP by a buck or two. Some people apparently paid $5.99 for the Simpsons.

BTW, I noticed that the "original" price on some of the clearance stickers is jacked up. Cargo terminal, for example, was listed over $100 in the before price. Are Target going TRU, or is this a mistake?

When I looked on Saturday at my local store (Ross PA) everything was 30%. I checked today (Monday) at another store (McCandless PA) and there were a few 50%s including a bunch of Chimas. I picked up Cargo terminal at 50%.

Pittsburgh (Ross) had mostly 30% Chimas ad a 30% Castle Dragon Monday night. I doubt these would stay around until 50%

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, ...

Pittsburgh area clearances seem to vary by store. Nothing in Ross Township though several LOTRs have been at the endcaps instead of the usual place for a few weeks now. In the city (east End), Moria and Bug Obliterator for $55 each. A few more things up in Richland Township, picked Daily Bugle for $...

I got a ready for pickup message for the one I ordered from my local store.
I already bought this from KMart @ $35 a few months back, but my son loves some of the small pieces
