humvees: $9.98
LAV: $12.48
Abrams: $12.48
apache & blackhack: same old price (sigh)

they were all 50% off.

--------------

markdown at Target usually starts at 30%, then 2 weeks later about 50%, then finally 75%. so it is quite disturbing to see BBi toys that go at 50% too fast or too early.

hmmm.... making room for 25th Joes? :wink: finally!!!

but base from my experience with these clearances, especially for toys, don't wait for a 75% markdown. alot of folks who are military or 1:18 collectors and even Joe collectors are reaping on these.

Sheesh, mine Target was at 30% on Wednesday, but they only had 5 pieces. I'll be checking a larger stocked Target this morning. I've been online looking for reviews of the Abrams and the FOV Bradley, trying to decide which to get since they were both around $20. No way in hell I can pass on the Abrams for $13. How is your Bradley? I love the BBI LAV that I have had for 2wks now.

*sigh* i cant wait to move back to the states... :(

12 for an
abrams man!

A couple of my Targets had the Tanks for about $17.

I don't think they're making room for Joe, I think they're making room for "Forces of Valor" which is funny because the Forces of Valor tank looks just like the Elite Forces one :)

Has anyone ever customed the humvee for more of a joetastic feel to them (not straight out of the box)? I've seen the cobra version...

[WildWeasel]

Was at one of my local Targets this evening, they didn't have them on sale. Granted they don't have as many as in the photo. There was maybe one or two of each vehicle. Oh well.

[ceraurus]

Yeah, my target doesn't seem to have these on sale either. No way I could pass up a $12 tank.

Are those a couple of joes in the background there?

[topnotch97]

those at the background are the FOV, BBi, & Sigma 6 line. no 25th single pack though. that empty space there is suppose to be 25th pegs.

[arch2b]

are these inline with joe scale? i would love to get a couple of the l.a.v.'s for repaints

[WildWeasel]

Yes, they are 1/18th scale. Others on the boards here are using them and you can see in some of their customs and collection pics.

[Shin-Gouki]

They are still 30% here, if they go 50% I'll bite

[General Scarlett]

Damn!!!! Time ta hit the Targe!!!!

[ranoobu]

Are there two versions of the Apache? I've seen pics of ones with this shark looking design and ones without.. or is that not the apache i'm thinking of

[topnotch97]

i've seen people just went ahead and repaint it with dessert scheme.

[ranoobu]

yea.. but i'm trying to figure out if what i saw was just 2 variations of the same vehicle or maybe it was 2 different vehicles

[Magick]

All of the bbi stuff around here is gone.. minus one abrams tank I found for $17.. but like everyone else I am searching for the apache.

[arch2b]

yep, it seems many are. heck, after seeing it in person close up i'd sneak one home for myself if i could find them. until the 2 copters i got are gone (pending payment from members), my purchasing rights for joes have been revoked:( my better half was not amused with me coming home with them without prior discussion.

does anyone have the target product number so we can check other stores for availability?

[tarheels]

The DCPI number for the Apache is 087 06 1967

I don't know if that is the same number for the Black Hawk (I am still looking for that) or Not.

I will keep my eye out for more Apache's, But I only found one and that was after Christmas at full price.
