and some others that have already been mentioned

Went to the Target on 38th St. in Indianapolis. Pretty much everything is gone. Picked up the last We Love Katamari and Killer 7. Last copy of Gunpey and all the other clearance games I saw last week were gone...probably a dealer as there were multiple copies of stuff like Batallion Wars that had been there forever. They still had Tony Hawk but it scans at $40-something still, although they have it marked at full retail so it probably isn't going anywhere.

Bought some 50% off fishing gear. I wish I knew when sporting goods clearance drops are. I've been watching camping gear and sporting goods 50% off stuff for 2 weeks now, going to Target every few days, and everything is still at 50%. When it hits 75%, there's like $300 worth of stuff I'd buy. $200 tent for $50 would be nice, not to mention a few $30 fishing poles for $7.50 each, and a $200 foosball table for $50. Maybe a $60 dart board for $15.

I managed to pick up the Tony Hawk game/deck bundle only after searching or calling several Target stores across the San Fernando Valley. Someone had apparently been going to Targets all across the area and buying every single unit along with all the Zelda sword/shield gift sets. My friend and I were always one step behind him yesterday...

I'd call some Targets to check stock only to have surprised employees telling me that all the Tony Hawk and Zelda items were gone from the shelves even though they just saw dozens a couple hours before. I was just at one of these stores two days ago and they literally had 12 Zelda gift sets and 14 Tony Hawk bundles!

Every store had the same story about some guy clearing them out. I hate these hoarders in the Valley! If I ever find out who that one guy is, I'm kicking his ass. Now I'm SOL on the Zelda gift set...

I wouldn't be surprised if the "disappearing clearance stuff" was just being sent to salvage. I went into my Target yesterday and found a few clearance games (very rare for my store) but all the TH skateboards and Zelda Shields were gone. I mentioned to a Target employee that was tagging some stuff in electronics that it looked like all the skateboards were gone. She said that they had all went to salvage cause no one was buying them.

Yeah, I had figured on the salvage situation, but I was actually being told by Target employees that I was one step behind this hoarder so he's definitely not a figment of my imagination.

might not have enough interest...but I started a Target trading thread...it's on the first page but sinking fast...

My friend just called me: he was at one of the Targets that previously said over the phone that they were completely OOS on the skateboards and sword/shield sets. Well, they weren't. They still had tons of each item. I've got my Zelda gift set now!

Bah, 2 of the 4 Targets by me had a lot of crap. Tak, Killzone, The NFL Backyard football game, etc.

I liked this site a lot better when less people knew about it.

Yes, because it HAD to be people from this site who cleaned out those games.

I think it's more because Target stores are correctly tagging clearance items now. 3 - 5 years ago, you could walk into Target with a clearance list and most items would still be on the shelf or in the case tagged at full price but when scanned they would ring up at the clearance price. Now everything seems to be correctly tagged so employees and other customers know about the deals when they see them.

I agree, everything except Gunpey DS, which I have seen at 3 diff Targets unmarked and sitting in the cases, has been marked with the red clearance stickers properly at all the stores I have been to this past week.

my Target has many, many copies of the TOny Hawk game w/skatboard [mostly PS2 copies], why would someone buy 'em all at one stop? Re-sell?

Also, how much are the Zelda CD w/sword + shield thingys these days? $10.00 yet?

Depends on your stores. Either $10.xx or $19.98.

Yes, they are $10, and the people that buy up entire stock are probably just gonna sell them.

If anyone is still looking for Zelda Gift Boxes or Tony Hawk boards, I may be able to help. I picked up a couple extra Zelda boxes (there's still a bunch left at the store...but I refuse to say which one - damn hoarders), and there are still TONS of Tony Hawk decks I saw (I didn't buy any though).

YMMV - they are still $19.98 at all the stores I checked (with price scanner - most don't even have them any more). I'm going to try a few more tonight.

Tagged! How much are the Tony Hawk Decks BTW?

There were two at my local store for $20.. was going to buy one (i'd like to wind up with two, one for myself and one for a friend), but sadly, there were none left. *sigh*

(referring to the zelda sword/shield)

$44.98 everywhere I looked (just the last 2 days). But some people are finding them for half of that.

The ones with boards are only PS2 and Xbox, correct? (And not Xbox 360). $22 isn't even worth it for me for
the regular versions - *maybe* the 360 version, though even that's pushing it . I have absolutely no use for
the board, so that's why I suppose.

Nothing but two dozen copies of Spongebob for the GBA at the J-town target in Louisville.
