Went to three Targets today... Two had nothing, one had 3.99 JA & IE. Bought both JA to save, opened heaviest IE and got Palps on Throne which is up for trade. Got two other IE that I'll open later when I'm going through booster withdrawal. Left a half dozen IE for the next guy.

I hear that tony, did the same thing myself today. Hit 3 Target's and was pleasantly surprised to see they were selling them for $3.99. I grabbed two TFU. Pulled a 2-1B and a Luke Skywalker and Yoda.  Both will find their way to my trades.

TFU for $3.99!  I sure hope boosters hit $3.99 around here before they disappear.

Wow... Would love to see TFU for $3.99 (haven't seen a TFU around here since Fall 2010). I'd definitely keep your eyes out when you go to target (look both at the gaming section in the front of the store and the gaming section in the toy department). I'm sure $3.99 boosters will hit most places. I'd especially be interested in $3.99 TFU, A&E, JA, and ROTS. Or, maybe we'll get really lucky and see a few $3.99 Starship Battles.

The only Target near me has been dry since Christmas. I would be thrilled if they put some boosters back on the shelves. Especially A&E, JA or KotOR.
I'll be over that way on Monday and will have to stop in.

Well, the only targets I know are near dry, I just near-bought out a target, bought 8 boosters, opened 4 only to see Vader, LOTF was the only new guy I got, I'm saving the other 4 for other things.

Both Target and Border's ( the ones that didn't close down anyway) all seem to be tapped out in NE Ohio. Went to the local 5Below and they don't seem to carry boosters.

TFU booster at Target for $3.99; cheapest Darth Revan I've ever acquired!

My Target wound up restocking the super discounted boosters. They had 2 JA, 1 GaW, and about a dozen IE. One thing to note with the super liquidated boosters is that they are now all under the same SKU so it's safe to assume this small amount is the last of what's out there.
I grabbed the JA and GAW and 2 IE. I pulled:
Logray
Xizor
1 Mouse Droid
Cade Skywalker, Padawan
Anakin Solo
Whorm Loathsom
Not that bad for a $20 investment.
In other news, I found a pink Spartan action figure, which was too tempting to pass up on. It now sits posed with the rest of my Halo figures around my 360s.

I think I'm done with discount IE. I got 3 of them today and pulled Jerjerrod, Kyp, and Lobot. Add that to the fact that my last 3 before that were Jerjerrod x2 and Crix, and no Mouse Droids in any of the 6 boosters, and I'm done!

Folks saying they were seeing TFU booster for $3.99 inspired me to hit a couple of more targets today. To my surprise and delight, one had two TFU boosters for $3.99 (unfortunately, the other had no boosters at all). I pulled Luke, Hoth Pilot Unleashed in one (not the worst R to pull) AND Darth Revan in the other. Nothing else in the boosters was interesting enough to report, but I feel that was a pretty good way to spend $8. Both figures are up for trade if anyone is looking for them. I still need 24 figures to complete my set (see the R and VR on my want list, which can be found here: http://www.miniaturetrading.com/user/tonythetoyman). There is one more Target in my area, and I'll try to hit it tomorrow. So far 2 of the 5 targets in the area have had $3.99 boosters. Hopefully, I'll get lucky tomorrow and find a couple of more TFU.

Hi, had some decent luck in my targets, still have a couple to scope out tomorrow. But, I was able to find also a Universe Booster for $3.99 (pulled Chewie RH for those interested). But, they are out there.

So I stopped by the Target today ... 2 more Force Unleased at $3.99. One of them yielded Master Kota and the Wookiee Hunter AT-ST. The other yielded Darth Revan!!!
Here's hoping I can get a decent piece in trade for him.

Alright I hit 7 Targets and 3 Best Buys in two days. I picked up all the $3.99 JA's, GaW's, Uni's, TFU's, CW's and about 12 IE's. I still left about a case and a half of IE's. The downer is they have to be marked $3.99. I found some IE's that were not and still rang up the $7.49 price even though I am holding 9 other's just like it with $3.99 on them.

Picked up a lone JA and an IE a couple days ago. Opened the JA to find Quiggy staring at me in the cards pack. :/ I did get an Ossus Warrior and all decent Commons (no stormies, kraths, BDs, etc.). Today went to a different Target and returned the IE and picked up a lone TFU box and a fairly heavy IE. Here's hoping for some good pulls.
