Target is what got me into this again...I havent gotten any new mini since they first came out. I found them at Target on sell. I got a Clone Wars one for $1.25. Too bad they had only the one.

The only thing I can imagine that happened here is that Target tends to have UPC stickers and someone switched one. Otherwise they would all ring under the same UPC. So either an employee accidenttally created the wrong sticker for it or someone else maliciously did it with intent to steal.

Probably an employee - there was a UPC sticker but it didn't appear to be tampered with. None of the others had a similar sticker. These were not in the 'holiday' area but it rang up as Christmas clearance. Maybe they had some in the holiday area and one of them migrated to the regular rack while the others were all taken out of the store with the Christmas stock. Or maybe it was the last one from the Christmas stock. *shrug* Anyway, I got another Sidious and 6 C/UC that I already had. Not bad for under $1.50.

More than likely he just printed off X+1 Clone Wars UPCs and thought they were close enough that he could put the extra sticker on the JA....then Clone wars went waaaay down in price.

No I found a few JA that were $4.99 when CW first hit target. Had the old school $14.99 sticker with sell as complete box only so I figure that all of this is from old stock. Thinking back Target had a ton of CW when it first came out and didn't have it very long so the distributing company probably pulled it all and then got some kind of break from QOTC for old product on hand and then put it back out on super clearance.

Yeah same, got a CW booster at 49 cents and an IE at the regular discounted price
Captain Rex for 49 cents lol, and then a Lobot and Mouse droid.. woo hoo lol
also I am pretty sure every CW box I open has a nelvaan warrior, utapaun guy, techno union guy and the Mon Cal Knight... its like they made sure they were in every blasted booster shipped to Target.

Yup, found 3 at $0.49 last night. Got an Ahsoka which will make my daughter happy. Bariss Offee JK & Gelagrub were the other two. Got Rex at $2.50.
Now I just need a Grievous DAC!
