Well, the least I can do is try. I know if I ask for a discount they usually give 10%. I didnt believe it until I tried it a few weeks ago, I read it somewhere (on the internet, so you know it must be true), but it actually worked. Ive bought these X wings in the past, the larger ones and the quality seems to be less and less. If the quality were better I wouldnt mind the $50 price tag. The wings are shaky when you put it in the X position and the landing gear are quick to fold up into the engine housing. I know I will buy it, just because I dont want to miss out on it and have to pay a bigger price down the road. Just figured I would try and save a few bucks.

Yeah my Target never did clearance the X-Wing. Instead when all the stores started to clearance it, they took it off the shelves and placed it in back. I kept checking on item # on the scanner for about 3 months and it never went down in price. I just quit checking and they never came back out from the back.
I didn't want to believe him, because at the time he was telling me they had a full pallet of RoC figures. It wasn't until they stocked the shelves with 100 wave 1 and 2 figures that I accepted what he said. I've usually had to pay full price for anything 'toy' related here when most of you get in on those sweet sweet clearance deals. I will not bitch though, as I've had many people hook me up with what I need for cost+shipping.

The Targets around here used to have awesome clearance. I snagged a lot of cheap toys that way. Now they have all upgraded to Super Targets, and if they are on clearance it is usually for 10% off if that.

You can always try the buy and wait method. Get one now and save the receipt. You have 90 days to return it. If the x-wings go on clearance, buy one then and return one with the full price receipt. If they are still full price you can return it and rebuy it to start the 90 day timer over again If they all sell out, then you wont have missed out either way.

Thanks Weasel, that's exactly what Im going to do. Im sure my wife will bitch about the 50$, but with father's day a coming and I got her something as well. Did I need it..no, but I wanted it and I dont want to pay ebay or a vendor double or triple the price. There is one comic shop that is selling the DAGOBAH X WING for over $150 and RED LEADER for well over $200, to me that is insane. I think Target should offer a REWARDS program and send me TARGET COUPONS worth 5-10-15-20$ off my next purchase. Well, I have one, the manager said no to the discount and there we are, Ill let you know what happens after 90 days.

I had something similar happen to me last weekend. I found a resolute pack and a buncha comic packs, but they weren't scanning on the system. The clearance tag on the resolute set was $17.48 and the C2Ps $3.24 each. I took them to the guest service desk and they gave me the last price on the resolute pack...$6.24! I thought I might be able to snag the C2Ps for $2 each, but they still wanted the $3.24 for them, so I passed.
