So I had to go to Winchester, VA for something and stopped at their local Target and Walmart. I don't think they celebrate xmas in Winchester because both stores were immaculately clean and well stocked. I found another Castle Seige and Rogue Shadow at Walmart, and also found Temple Escape and Police Command Center. The Target had most of the newer sets and a bunch of older sets that I knew were going to go on clearance if my store had anything left besides Bionicles. Target clearance is the greatest because they start at 30% - 50% off, but the system eventually marks them down to 75% off whether or not they have inventory on hand to actually resticker. So you can buy sets at any Target and return/rebuy at one that has the 75% off prices in effect. I know one CSR lady who lets me return/rebuy with just the receipts! Worst case, you just return the sets and come back in an hour or so and buy them when they put them back on the shelf. Target also gives you 90 days to return for a refund so you have plenty of time if you get buyer's remorse. I'm going to give the UPC numbers for the sets I bought so you guys can print out UPC codes and scan them at your local stores and check prices. This site can generate UPC codes :

I'm sitting on a couple of extra Walmart sets to see if they go down in price, otherwise I'll probably return them.
Good luck. Now I just have to check once a week to see when the prices drop!
