Clearance Clarence

Recommended Posts

You ever get that feeling? Wandering around the aisles on a hunt or maybe your there just to pick up some shampoo or milk....your spidey sense tingles, inner dialogue insisting to take a look around or you just happen to turn down an aisle & you stumble across that treasure of the endcaps or sometimes a whole aisle devoted to liquidating the goodness, its so wonderful your partner just has to dig through it too....my love, family & friends know I'm a clearance junkie so I'm always on the lookout for good deal whether by boxstore, thrift shops or garage sales I'm the guy digging through to the bottom of the pile cause you never know what your gonna find....here's some of what I've found recently but I'll share more & feel free to share your treasure hunts too....I have that cheesy "clearance clarence" line stuck in my family's head now haha

I had initially passed on this line as I was into way too many other lines I preferred the Marvel Universe line over this one but I never did see any MU Skrulls at retail either.....picked these guys up on a whim I can't believe they made it his far cause these went quick when they were down to $4.98....

I've loved all things Marvel since I was kid but recently especially after the Movie came out it seems like they've really stepped up their game on the extra non-toy stuffs....I've been lucky to find quite a few of the wooden wall plaques that are emblazoned w/comic book cover art but I'll post those at a later time for now I found these "nightlights" which I think are very koolio.....they were & still are $30 in most Targets but the Toy Gods were in my favor when I went looking for some Newer Marvel Legends figs but came up empty handed still I take my time in the Clearance section otherwise I might have missed these beauties....I think some poor redshirt didn't mean to clearance these but somehow they were added to the mix....

Found this guy at a local grocery store, they only had one left & I obliged....2 years ago I was able to snag up Garbage Truck & Construction Truck set for $10 at the same store after Xmas.....this is one of the lil guy sets but its still a lego set & no matter the size they're always expensive.....

Whoa, Lego dumpster fire. That's worth $1.99 right there.

 

Sorry man they were all out of the Meth Lab Explosion so this was it or nada, Lego-ville is getting seedier these days, you know this was either an accident or some Lego-ite is Pyro haha FIREdevil.gif.....& WJ there are alot of things I don't find worth an S to me either but one hunters refuse is another's yada....I've seen quite a few of the Max Steele figs on clearance at Target & those flew off the shelves....soccer moms are prolly gobbling those up for their kiddos....I'm really glad those are gone as they took up some valuable peg real estate....but to each their own....I can't wait to see if any of the ML figs end up on the Clearance block...I didn't get a WWII Cap cause I was banking on him for sure....I did buy an updated Cap cause I missed out on the Avengers Movie Cap...

Went out looking for ML figs but found nothing.....at a few of the local SuperSupermarket chains here they were clearancing items....they dropped the Mattel 6" Man of Steel Figs down to $7, GI Joe Retaliation Figs were $5 & the Marvel Universe 4" figs were $5.....some other hunter made the rounds 1st cause the Joe Coltons, Cyber Ninjas & Dark Ninjas they had were all gone....they left behind the Stormy's, Snakes & Rockblocks from the 1st waves that no one wanted.....I woulda picked up a Zartan but astonishingly they didn't have em....he used to be the Pegwarmer round here....oh & the *groan* GreenPant Suit Duke (I loathe that fig)....I did have an Red Ninja in hand but left him cause I was short on $$ so I opted for the Marvel Universe Figs....I know they're not everyone's favs but they've chipped away at my common sense so I snagged up Doc Sampson, Falcon, Scarlet Spider & Steve Rogers....I had to scrutinize the paint apps cause these figs are ripe w/bad paint jobs...I even picked up a few Valentine's Day Barbies for my nieces that were also $5 too.....I have a friend of mine who digs MU figs so maybe I'll unload them on him....this kinda brings bad tidings too...cause these Supermarkets were one of the only places besides Walgreens that had Joe figs....that sux out loud...one of my main concerns about the 50th Ann stuff is they are TRU exclusives....my TRU dont sell Joes. So I can only imagine how friggen hard its gonna be to find those......

was just passing by a music store in a mall, and saw these. at full price, i may have not purchase the figures, but at 50%, i thought it was a good deal. toys are just unreasonably overpriced these days.

at that price man those are 2 for 1.....well I stopped off at Tuesday Morning looking for Joes again...they were out but I did snag up some clearance-love for some of my lil jedi's for Xmas Presents....these playmobil sets were roughly about 2 bucks & some change each.....they're having a clearance sale & they had regular Star wars figs but the obscure ones....& some of the Transformer wannabe lego sets marked down as well...they had one of those Battleship Kreo sets down to $5 not too bad if you can find em...I even bought my niece a Fisher Price Barbie Trike for 12 bux....these Playmobil sets were kinda cool back in my day but they were super expensive & TRU were & still are it seems the only place to find em' year round...I know Kohls has em but this 2 dollar price tag for new was too hard to pass up....

I'm gonna keep this thread alive come ebola or high water....I stopped off at the Disney Store last week & picked up some MU figs....I came away w/Black Knight & Abomination for $6, they still had Colossus, Rhino, Dagger, Nova & the other half of the Wonder *ahem* Alpha Flight Twins....I was even able to find an MU Rhino over at DD's discounts for $4 which wasn't too bad either...all in all not bad.....seems in the last 2 years the Clearance Clarence aisle's haven't been that generous. Target still seems to be the leader when it comes to refreshing their stock which is why they seem to be getting all my $ when it come to brick & mortar hunting. Walmart likes to play games & move everything to what they consider a "clearance" aisle but keep the prices the same or mark stuff down a buck....TRU never has stuff in so I can't tell what they're trying to do...I do know the one I usually frequent finally got rid of their umpteen World War Z figs.

Picked up "the Hound" from Game of Thrones for $5 at a local Walgreens.....the manager said she was trying to make room for new inventory so she had about 10 figs all clearanced for $5 apiece.....They had Tyrion, Jon Snow, the Dragon Lady & the Hound....I'm not into GOT so I passed on the others but the Hound looked like he could fit in w/some of my other 6" figs so I bit....

Well this was my valentine's presents but it still qualifies under the rules of "CC"....I asked about Drax but heard the Drax that was clearanced was missing his trademark knives...so she passed on him....but at least I gots StarPrince....& Gamora....I hope I don't find these at Ross next week for cheaper....my gf spotted these at an Local Walmart

I scooped these figs up from Terget....at least 2 Tergets here clearanced them out completely for $5 apiece...the rest are still hanging on the pegs at the other Targets for $8 now....great look on these figs but they were just missing something overall...still not a bad price

hello clearance my old friend.....I've come to yada yada again...well after some mild huting I was able to snag some surprises today....I made a decision to stay clear of the Combiner Wars stuff.....I would get them in a heartbeat if they were just a little cheaper but I've drawn my line....I'm knee deep in other lines...but I caved hard....& in the past I've voiced my disdain for the Titan Figs as well...but for 5 bux I'm easy....speaking of which I snagged up an Rocket Racoon & Star Lord Titan figs 4 weeks ago at Wahhmaht.....those 2 figs togther were $7....
