It is B002RL7VSY. But when you try and check target.com by modifying the url you get : We could not find exact matches for “LEGO Prince of Persia Desert Attack Set (7569)”. It only brings up Ostrich race and Battle for Alamut.

You can use ASIN from Amazon, they are the same 99.9% of the time

Went to 3 stores...only 1 of them had them on clearance...I think that most stores put them on clearance on Thursday...so I will check the other stores tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up. My store wasn't as lucky as yours. There is only a handful. We have a few of the items you listed plus 2 additionals that I can remember; Cars Ultimate Build Lightning McQueen and HP Freeing Dolby.

Terrible news for me guys. I called my local Target, they show 12 Ostrich Races in stock, but they are in the system as not available for sale and $0.00!!! They only took them down to 50% off.

Minifigs are still 30% off at my store (2nd week in a row since I found them). I keep checking them everytime I go in. I had made up my mind that 50% off was going to be my "buy" price, but I don't know how much longer I can hold out. I don't want them to sell out and I miss them.

One of the target here had 4 Alamuts for $55 and change.

Interestingly near the registers was a display of price drop $8 for prison carriage rescue, golden staff guardians, the new police hello, and one busted box fire truck. Therewas no such signage in the regular toy asile.

Well that was kind of a bust. Went to two local Targets (Sunnyvale, CA and Mt View, CA), and there's practically no clearance at either. Sunnyvale had some Gateway of the Squid, City Fire Boat, and some City plane sets. I know that about a week ago they had tons of Ostrich Races, a few Fight for Daggers, and about four Alamuts. But no PoP now. T-6 Jedi Shuttle was full price. No TIE Defenders. No HP Burrows. Some HP Hagrids Huts; looked full price, but didn't scan to check. No CMFS4s. Mt View had even less. Checked inventory before I left and they showed lots. Staff attempted to help, but were pretty clueless. Attributed it to shrinkage, i.e. shoplifting. OK, I can see people walking out with a few CMFS4s in their coat pocket, but a couple of Battle of Alamuts? Those are some big boxes.

Lesson learned -- call and have them check availability before driving over!

Did pick up some Prison Carriage Rescues at $8, which is not much of a discount, but still a good price for three knight minifigs, a horse, and a bunch of pieces.

Ha, I almost went to check out the Sunnyvale Target during my lunch break today. I'm glad to hear I didn't miss anything (and I'm sorry you didn't find anything at the same time). I checked the online ASIN number and they were supposed to have some PoP Ostrich Race sets. But I was looking for Alamut or Fight for Dagger sets; the ostrich race wouldn't even do for a parts pack (maybe the sword/scabbards but not much else). So I didn't go. P.S. I could only find one trace of "limited" on the ASIN check for Fight for the Dagger in the area - the Target at Story/King; probably means they have none anyway, right?

I have to say the Target clearances are strange. I bought a copy of Atlantis's Gateway of the Squid for $20 back in January. I found several copies of that set just this week and the price was $40 again. Very strange. I don't get it.

I was just at a Target here in Portland and didn't see any markdown on the T-6, unfortunately. There were a few of the Toy Story sets on clearance, but that was pretty much it.

I went to 2 Targets and couldn't find any PoP Ostritch Races and each store had about 10 the other day, I wonder I they were salvaged. :(

I did find Prison Carriage Rescue for 5.48 which was cool. Other sets were only 15% off.

I've been to 2 Targets in the Dallas Texas area. The markdowns here are 30% right now. There are some items that are accross the board. POP, The tie Fighter, the Toy Story stuff. others seem to be store specific. one store had the Large Lightning and Francisco sets at 21 but the other no. No T-6's on sale either. one had the Cade speeder at 30% off but the other did not. Strange. I prefer waiting for 50-75 off depending on the line. POP at 50% is still to high for me. Did not like those sets.

Thanks, Jim.

Went to a couple in the LA area, only saw 1 set at 1 store that was 50% off (Hogwarts Express). It feels like they don't discount as aggressively here as I remember them doing a couple years ago.

I'd go with the T-6 Jedi Shuttle. Kids nowadays seem to be more into the Clone Wars sets.

Depends on what you like/need. I bought an Alamut, several Quest Against Time, and four Fight for the Daggers at 50% off during the early January clearance. They've been great parts packs for castle/adventure/middle-eastern MOCs. I'm using the parts for castle-related MOcs. Plus planning combining with some PQ sets (which I have yet to buy) and some old Jake Raines minifigs and doing middle-eastern adventure MOCs. Thought Alamut and Fight for the Dagger were very nice sets on their own too. But if you're not into one of those themes, they wouldn't be very attractive even at 50% off.
