Wolverine figures on sale at Target this week

rwsharpjr · 04-05-2009, 02:20 PM

Hey guys.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the XMO:W figures are on sale at Target this week for $5.99.
I just picked up 2 sets of wave 2(movie figures).
Now I need to return the ones I bought at Walmart for $8.44.
$2.45x8=$19.60 savings!! Not bad.

Also the Wolverine and The XMen figures are $5.99, the Superhero Squad 4packs are $10.39, and the role play Electronic Claws are $15.

The sale runs until the end of the week.

Better, but still a tad overpriced in my opinion. $3.99 would be the best, but since that's not realistic, I'd accept $4.99.

25th Anniversary G.I. Joe figures started out at $5.99 at Target.

Thanks for the heads up! Might pick up some of the ones I'm missing, this is a good price.

Optimus Scourge · 04-05-2009, 08:39 PM

I was holding off on these, (Only got the first Deadpool) as much as I was tempted, but this a good price for sure.

trebleshot · 04-05-2009, 08:47 PM

Yeah, I might pick up the brown costume Wolverine and the more yellow-ish one as well. Hopefully they will still be available next weekend.

scarecrow · 04-05-2009, 11:18 PM

Wow, that's a pretty good deal right now. I'll probably pick up Gambit, but I already have the three I wanted most(Deadpool, movie Deadpool and Maverick).

MAYBE I'll get the X-Men costumed Wolvie... Man I want to go there now!

I wish they'd do this for the regular Universe figs too..

Shin Densetsu · 04-06-2009, 02:05 PM

I gotta add, the blue Covert ops Wolverine is EXCELLENT. It's addicting to place alongside my G.I. Joes, as if he is a reserve covert ops member of the joe team.

scarecrow · 04-06-2009, 03:26 PM

I got the X-costume Wolverine and a Python Patrol Conquest!! I can't believe they were pricing these down to make up for the missing TF's!

It's ugly but it'll make a great vehicle for my movie Deadpool or Deadpool if I can fit him(I don't think I'll be able to.)

Did anyone else know they were doing this to make up for the missing battle packs??

I think I remember someone on TFW mentioning it, but I wasn't sure if it was a one-off deal, or SOP.

I think it's really cool of the Targets that have already sold out even before the sale is two days old. It's definitely great news for Joe vehicle collectors who haven't picked these up for one reason or another.

I know that the Wolverine movie figures and the Wolverine and the X-Men figures are on sale, but are the GI Joe vehicles on sale too?

It seems that they're selling the $24.99 exclusive vehicles for $4.99 if they sell out of the $24.99 exclusive Transformers.
I know I'll check a couple of stores tomorrow to see if I can get in on that deal.

scarecrow · 04-06-2009, 11:03 PM

Canopies are overrated anyway!
And so is controlling your vehicle!!

Uh, I think you may have misquoted me or something. I knew what scarecrow was talking about. I just wasn't sure if Target was doing that nationwide, or only certain stores were doing it as a courtesy. Apparently, it seems to be nationwide.

Maybe you meant to reply to ludovicotek's post?

Yeah, sorry 'bout that.

Shin Densetsu · 04-07-2009, 03:22 PM

I got Logan(the lumberjack one), and man be careful swapping the hands that come with him! The pegs are fragile! Mine feels like it could break, they are made out of soft plastic, and fairly thin.

I don't think I'll be swapping the hands on this guy anytime soon, I prefer the default clawed hands anyways. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

Hmmm I dunno about this. You could be right. My closest Target had no more G.I. Joe jets left over.
So I went to the 2nd Target but their price was $24.99.
No exclusive Transformers either so you could be wrong.

rwsharpjr · 04-08-2009, 01:16 AM

I read on a couple of boards that they were giving them at $4.99 if they'd sold out of the Transformers, but it doesn't matter because they fixed the prices any way.

If they have any of the Transformers exclusives left, they're back up to $22.99.
Don't know what happened, just glad I got in on the $4.99 before it was too late.

trebleshot · 04-08-2009, 07:25 AM

I had wondered why they dropped to $4.99 without warning. Of course, I only questioned it after I picked up my $5 Sunstorm.

So I guess the original sale price was supposed to be $22.99 and someone made a typo. There's definitely going to be some fallout in the Target COC from this.

Really? Wow. I feel so lucky. That's probably the best deal on a toy I'll capitalize on for the next ten years.
