Just went to Target today and picked up Front Mission 4 for $15. Not sure if this is a permenant markdown, but i don't think it was a sale. Now, before anyone says this is already posted, I searched, and came up empty.

75% on game rankings. Not too bad of reviews.

Probably YMMV, but I might have to pick it up if I see it for that price. Curse you bone_matrix for tempting me with this deal.

I hope this is true. I am gonna go check target for this tomorrow. First drops to 20 at EB and now 15 at target.. this is too much.

I would love it if TRU got it for 15 .. with BOGO it would be a blasting deal

Just bought it used and in great condition from a coworker for $8. Awesome game. If you like strategy RPGs then pick this one up.

Hmm.... Was FM labeled $15 or did it scan at $15?

Edit: FM4 is still $50 on the target website. (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=2-1/qid=1098796167/ref=sr_2_1/602-1005534-1071007?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B00025ETC8) So I assume this is a big YMMV

jebus, that dropped like a bomb. It must notve sold well, regardless of how good it may or may not be

This probably means fry's will have it for 9.99 in a few months like they did Unlimited SaGa ^^ (the game is definitley worth that price). I got one of those FM4 demos, and while it seemed to have nice strategy I've been spoiled by Nippon Ichi's games, I love me some mechs but this game is just tooooooo sloooooooowww.

Need a very high patience level to enjoy this one (and Strat games are slow in general, I have plyaed a lot of them since Ogre Tactics...even FM3 on the PSX...but FM4 is just.....too slow).

Yup, my Target here in Eau Claire, WI also had them marked at $29.99, but I had an employee check the price to make certain, and sure enough, it was $14.99. Yoink. Thanks for the heads-up, OP.

10-26-2004, 10:31 PM

It was marked $15. I was scanning the games saw $15, looked above the price, realized what game it was and about crapped myself. :shock:

I really enjoyed the demo, but, being cheap, didnt want it at $50.

Dude, 56th and Hwy 2 or 48th and whatever Oish??? Or maybe either, I should get off my ass and just go buy it.

kinda off topic, but how does FM4 compare to FM3? I liked 3 but heard 4 didn't quite match up. For $15 it really doesn't matter that much but player opinions are always a better source than reviews.

Picked up a copy tonight at the North Hollywood Target on Victory. Shelf tag says $29.99, rang up at $14.99. They had 7 or 8 copies left. All the other Targets near me (Pasadena) didn't have any in stock.

Damn, the rain was coming down hard tonight too. Victory Boulevard was pretty badly flooded at times... the things I do for video game deals...

No good at mine, in Montgomery, AL. My store seems to take its time about doing the mark-downs tho, so I'll have to print out a UPC and keep it with me to scan.

I've played Front Mission 3 and didn't like how you couldn't explore the towns. Is 4 the same, i.e. you can't get out of the wanzers to explore and it's pretty much battle after battle with menu based "towns"?
That's about how it is. If you didn't like FM3, you're damned sure not going to like FM4. They're not really about exploration - just strategy.

My local Target was OOS :(

10-27-2004, 03:58 PM

Unfortunately, my Target is really on top of things like this. I was just there on Monday, and FM4 was in the glass case with a $29.99 tag. Today, there was one copy left, with a $14.99 sticker, thrown in with the budget titles. Lucky me, this time.

Magician

10-27-2004, 04:02 PM

And I was hoping to resist buying anything until I actually make a trip to the TRU B2G1 sale too....

Oh well. There goes that suggestion. :wink: My local Target definitely had some in stock the last time I checked. I think I just might go today and pick it up...

10-27-2004, 04:22 PM

I am going to have go check the local Target's for Drakengard, not really interested in FM 4

The game was marked at $29.99 at the store in Muskegon, MI. I had the employee get it out and ring it up. Thanks to this wonderful CAG website, I got it for $14.99 as it rang up that way! The employee was shocked that it rang up for that price, but just said "Oh well!". Thanks to all the CAG's who keep posting those great CHEAP ASS deals!

Jersey City, NJ Target had a pair of FM4s last night. That is, until I snagged one of them :wink:

hiccupleftovers

10-28-2004, 01:54 PM

Thanks OP. I picked up a couple for me and my friend and got the last ones at two locations. I also overheard a manager saying that they were expecting a lot more stuff to be marked down/clearanced for the upcoming holiday season so all the CAGs out there, keep your eyes open.

My local target was out of FM in Wilmington DE.

But I had to go to Virginia for a meeting. Turns out I had the wrong meeting place and it was back in Maryland. Anyway, on my way back I passed the Target in Salisbury. I pulled in and viola, picked up FM4 for $15.75 after tax. There should be one left.

Unfortunately I was on the road when the Simpsons came back in stock. So I missed out on that again. Oh well.

If anyone lives near one of those magical targets that sells Disgaea for $20 please let me know and I'll pay for it + shipping + a little extra.

I believe it's La Pucelle, not Disgaea.

This is a YMMV sale. I went to my local Target and they had absolutely no copies of Front Mission 4.

OT: They did, however, have Red Dead Revolver (PS2 and Xbox) for only $24.88!

ValkyrieVF-1S

10-29-2004, 12:05 AM

I am think it is more of a price drop at all targets. Maybe your target had it for 15 bucks too, but you just didn't get it on time. :wink:

This is a YMMV sale. I went to my local Target and they had absolutely no copies of Front Mission 4.

Of course there is always a chance that a store may be sold out of a particular item. YMMV means that if they do have the item, the price may not be the same.

Huh???? :?: :!: :!: :?: :?: Who, what, when, how???? Are you sure, I thought it was only La Pucelle, I've been needing me a Disgaea.

Edit: just saw that Akbar got to it.

Thank you CAG! I just picked up this game for $14.99!

Got mine for 14.99 in Newington CT. Rock on FM! Anyways they had 2 copies and it said 40 on tag..but the tag said hot shots on it. I asked the cashier and he was like it should be 40..rang up 15. He said he played part 3 and liked it so im assuming he picked up the last copy.
I can check my local Target down here at home(not college) and pick one up if anyone wants it that bad.

Target at Westwood Village in West Seattle, WA had four copies left after I bought mine at 2 PM this afternoon.

Marked $29.99, rang up $14.99.

Thanks for posting this deal!

Awesome, I went by Target today, and they had one on display, marked $14.99. Of course I bought it immediately.

Many thanks to the OP bone matrix for this deal! :D

it's also $15 on best buy's website. this is also a deal in conjunction with mcdonald's best buy bucks :) i don't know if it's the same price for b&m, but if it is, you can save on shipping.

shrike4242

10-31-2004, 11:28 AM

I just did one for in-store picking at B&M, so that means you can get it B&M if you do it for in-store pickup.

Now, I can take the copy I bought on the B2G1 sale from TRU.com, get store credit at TRU and use it for something else.

Someone in this topic mentioned Drakengard reduced as well, but that seems to be YMMV, as it is still 29.99 at the Target stores here.
