pins79 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Are these worth picking up at about 30% discount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soadfan4ever Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I would jump at those prices myself, but that would be more for my son's collection. I have no idea from an investment standpoint. They came out in June or July I believe, so they should be around for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I would buy them to build at least. Pirate ship is a definite after market winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If nothing else you could part them out and do really well...I parted out 2 of the 79007 I got for that price and made about 30 on each. The figures from the pirate ship are good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinothegeeko Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Was this in store I take it? I'd buy them up easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figures from the pirate ship are good too. Agreed - parting out the Black Gate is an easy $30-35. The PSA will give you a nice return down the road for this price, but you'll likely be hanging on to this for awhile before seeing EOL/appreciation.

legopocalypse Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 at 30% off those are worth picking up for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pins79 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yes. These were in store. Don't know why these are being moved so soon. I went back, noticed there was a 50% next to them, inquired, and ended up getting another 2 ships for $35 each plus gate for $20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yes. These were in store. Don't know why these are being moved so soon.

Sounds like a fluke. 50% off on those sets now is incredible. They just got released and should both do very well after eol. yes, if bought now you will have to hold for awhile, but its worth it for that discount.

pins79 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yes...the 50% off was a mistake indeed. A target employee must have just stuck these discounted sets in a rack marked 50% off. So I ended up getting 50% off aalready discounted sets. Last night I picked up one set of each for 30% off and today I grabbed the last 2 ships for $35 and on gate for $20. I tried to grab the other gate that was left but the cashier told me they had already rectified the issue and moved that set elsewhere. Whatever...I'm happy with 2 ships and a gate for $99 out the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soadfan4ever Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thanks for the tip pins79, I just scored a ship for 70! Why on earth would they be clearancing these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pins79 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thanks for the tip pins79, I just scored a ship for 70! Why on earth would they be clearancing these? Very cool. I'm sure these are discounted at many targets as I saw these for $70 at 2 of 5 targets today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 thanks for the heads up. It looks like I will be checking my two targets in the morning after I stop at Kmart to see if their 50% off clearance sale has started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yep, got 3 ships and 2 gates today at prices listed, and 3 gates the other day for the same. Nice deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in Madison, right hepcatpunk? I am in Green Bay, so it looks like I will be heading out tonight! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yessir, Madison. Go 'get 'em Terry! 2 of the 4 Targets had them clearanced, so not all yet. 1 I didn't visit so I can't say, but I'm glad I got what I got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go 'get 'em Terry! 2 of the 4 Targets had them clearanced, so not all yet. 1 I didn't visit so I can't say, but I'm glad I got what I got. There are two targets in green bay. The target 1 mile from my house still had these at full retail(I scanned them to make sure). The target 10 miles from my house had them on a back end cap, also tagged at full retail. I scanned those, and sure enough, they came up at the reported discount. They only had two of each according to their scanner, so I bought them all. I wonder if the first store I went to would price match the store that had them discounted if I showed them my receipt. Has anyone tried and/or had success with that in the past? Thanks for the heads up on this good deal. Plus ones for all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it before, but I doubt that they would match a clearance price of another store. I believe most of the references in their price match policy refer to print and online ads. Don't remember anything about honoring receipts. Hope it works our for you though. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
