goodbye CAG. You haven't been fun for awhile now. Too many hoarders, lurkers and flippers.

And thank you for this! Headed back to the one closest to my house and found a Jestro's Headquarters for $26.98! Not a fan of the Nexo Knights, but not a bad price at all.I hit up the target near me at lunch and was greeted in the toy section by a soccer mom with a cart full of lego at 50% off.
She didn't leave anything on the shelf
Same thing at my Target. Didn't see much of note at mine, the Legos weren't marked down any lower at the time but they may have been after I left.few ladies were at my target asking the price change employees to scan their whole cart, while they're trying to scan the toy department.
Same at one of my Targets. Tag-team of two female resellers had the CSR scan their cart full of stuff while they were doing their normal drops. You really have to time it right to make out well on these sales. After the employees do the markdowns but before the resellers scoop everything up.few ladies were at my target asking the price change employees to scan their whole cart, while they're trying to scan the toy department.
The big chain-wide toy clearance is always the last Thurday in July. There's always normal intermittent toy clearance though.I thought this was already happening since at least last week.
Any noteworthy sets? Haven't seen any remotely interesting or good sets on clearance at Targets this round (outside of those Frozen Elsa Ice Castles for 70% off).I hit up the target near me at lunch and was greeted in the toy section by a soccer mom with a cart full of lego at 50% off.

Zelda. Arms. Splatoon. MK8. Literally every month is a new, exclusive, big release.Make people actually care about it. I've owned every console for the past 25 years. So far the switch is just pointless to me as well as a lot of people I know. At launch it has zero games and still doesn't have any today. Remakes and multi-platform games are not a reason to buy a new console. That's why when I see lists such as "the 10 best switch games!" I roll my eyes since technically it has no games since no physical one is exclusive.
Mario Oddysey does look good. Is it a system seller? Most likely. Yet just like the Wii U, having 1-2 Nintendo games and random third party games throughout the year will not keep it alive.
This is what I found after going through posts on a few different Lego FB pages I follow and checking brickseek:Any noteworthy sets? Haven't seen any remotely interesting or good sets on clearance at Targets this round (outside of those Frozen Elsa Ice Castles for 70% off).
Zelda and MK8 were on WiiU.Zelda. Arms. Splatoon. MK8. Literally every month is a new, exclusive, big release.
Yeah, no games. Its been out for 4 months. It's impossible to find. Even CheapyD is posting bundles here from GameStop.
Go back and play your remastered PS2/PS3 games on your PS4.
I didn't look through the cart to closely but they were mostly lego city sets, the Lego Prison Island set stood out to me the most.Any noteworthy sets? Haven't seen any remotely interesting or good sets on clearance at Targets this round (outside of those Frozen Elsa Ice Castles for 70% off).

Let's stop before that guy who keeps referring to Nintendo as "N" and writes 10 huge paragraphs defending "N" in every post responds to these discussions.That discussion is LONG DEAD...
You got part of it right. He calls them "N" but he typically is very critical of their business practices, you don't usually see him defending them.Let's stop before that guy who keeps referring to Nintendo as "N" and writes 10 huge paragraphs defending "N" in every post responds to these discussions.&
Really... I just remember his posts in the end of Wii-U thread and could've sworn he came in with walls of text defending how it wasn't a complete failure for "N". And it seems like whenever there's a post bad mouthing a Nintendo product, his posts would come out of the woodwork. I do stop reading whenever I came across another "N" so maybe I missed his main point.You got part of it right.

I think he's one of those guys that loved Nintendo growing up but got fed up with the scarcity thing so yeah, he probably has a love/hate relationship with it.Really...

FYI the instructions in the Target version have a misprint. It says that each player should have 3 cards, but the actual rules are that each player should have 5 cards.For anyone interested in board games, I was able to Hanabi (087 00 0340) for $1.78
Didn't happen like usual in my region. Most stuff started clearance a few weeks early it seems. Just a few things may have been added towards the actual date, but no aisles of picked through clearance shelves like in the past.The big chain-wide toy clearance is always the last Thurday in July. There's always normal intermittent toy clearance though.
It also has a file/batch name printed on the back of every card, and the foil finish of the cards has a propensity to flake off.FYI the instructions in the Target version have a misprint. It says that each player should have 3 cards, but the actual rules are that each player should have 5 cards.
Every store around me has these for $119.99. Will keep an eye on them to see if they go down.Picked up a 4TB Seagate backup for $36 (056-02-0099)
Brickseek said the store had 3 when I checked during my lunch break. I grabbed the last one once I picked up my kid after work.
The WD one went out of stock before I started checking. (056-02-0069)
Were these possibly merged DPCI's with old and new versions? Every store shows MSRP for both.Picked up a 4TB Seagate backup for $36 (056-02-0099)

What does the receipt say?Does anyone know how long you have to return a video game if you use the redcard? I thought it was 30 days + 30 days extra for using the card but I got denied by the register.
Red Card extended return period does not apply to anything with fixed/printed return date on receipt, whatever date you see on the receipt is your deadline.Does anyone know how long you have to return a video game if you use the redcard?

i've ran into two instances where the game scanned for $0. It's getting removed from the system and no longer being sold. But both times they scanned it with the target mobile device thing and they take the last price sold and say it's that price.Randomly in a Target I don't normally go to while my wife was shopping, and I found a stack of copies of Mankind Divided for PS4, I remember hearing them being down to 8.94. But they scanned as an error. I asked a guy in electronics and his little scan gun came up as "Was 8.94, is now 0.00"
He gets super excited and scoops up the rest, saying he's going to flip them to GameStop for that phat profit. And I almost felt bad when he called a supervisor over and the guy said it meant they couldn't be sold. Guess they are taking them off the shelves. I think they will probably end up in Goodwill marked at 15. So I said I'd buy it for the 8.94, and they agreed. No tax, so that was cool.
Target deals have the AIDS.....and have for months nowIt's been a slow few months video game-wise.
So where can I find the GameStop thread? The good one. You know, the one that Blackbeard made awesome by having spreadsheets for us? WTF is going on!!!!blackbeard4886

It's because it's new. They only added it about a month ago after deals were posted on Twitter and it affected the Gamestop trade thread. I was surprised they finally added it too!I FINALLY found it after posting my original comment. I never knew the CAGiversary area existed and I have been on here since 2010. Thanks for the reply.
As far as Target clearance, end caps have sucked but I have noticed a lot more of clearance stickers in the gaming racks next to newer releases. So don't forget to check there.
