Best buy has a few NECA figures on clearance.a few are under 25$. Frankenstein (color), Inv. Man (color), T-1000 (cop) plus some TMNT and TMNT/Unv. Monsters maships.

@pakledjim Nice, thank you!

It has been the strangest thing.  For ~6 weeks each of my targets had one or two versions of the '97 X-men.  Each store had a full peg of Bishops, just Gambit, or Magneto.  None of the others.  Then one day two weeks ago they were ALL suddenly gone.  No clearance no nothin.  just poof. gone.  I never saw clearance anywhere.  I'm not one to whine over "oh lordy lordy, the scalpers" as those people are idiots.  (There is almost no resale value in toys.  I think some people just have shopping problems, esp figure collectors.)  But this wave had been super weird.

But I FINALLY found two of them in the store today.  Just one Biship and one Gambit for $7.49  They must have been a return. 

This wave has been really strange.  They must have all sold or something.  Never underestimate the buying power of 40's sentimental nerds and nostalgia. 

Don't understand what happened with this stuff.  They were warming the pegs at $24.99 at every store. 

I wonder if the other three char. went to Gamestop only, because that's the way it went down here.  I've only seen a single set of Wolverine, Storm, and Rogue at every Gamestop.  So I'm waiting for the next BOGO. 

@nothing they may have sent them in to their claim center or wherever their ebay store fulfills from. They get a lot of returns and store clearance and such.

Never found much from the Ross extravaganza, and I really want to find the retro X-Men wave (mainly Spiral,  Dark Phoenix, and a few Multiple Man).  However, I dig luck out and find X-Men 97 Magneto and Bishop for $7.49 at the local Target.  They actually had about six Magnetos, which are all now gone.

I never saw any signs of the X-Men retro figs or the Jada Universal Monsters at my 2 local Ross stores. I'm hoping that they eventually show up. My area always seems to get stuff about a month later than anywhere else.

I went to a few Ross stores and found a Retro Multiple Man at each. So probably wiped out by the faaq head flippers. I have a couple of the Jada Universal Monsters but they don't look to be sending out full cases, unless the aforementioned a-hole flippers are snagging Wolfman and Dracula - but only seen one mention of Wolfman online so maybe not.

The only Joes I saw left last week were the twins, so the others flew out too. I have come up with some deals the past month, but not really the ones I was looking for. Kitbashing the Recondos I picked up, definitely.

Noticed the big retailers have cut out most of the good bargains they were running pre-Christmas. I don't know if Ollies will ever recover from the Dr Strange MOM deluge. Ugh. Time to start clearing the shelves and sending those to the land fill.

One more thing - Target essentially made the MCU Green Goblin an inaccessible exclusive. There was never any stock to go with the shelf tags. Wow.

@left-field Mine is still choking too.  Multiple full sets of Eternals minus the Ajak exclusive which mostly sold, probably 35-40 each of Mordo and America Chavez, and now a dozen cases of Black Panther Legacy.  Panther/Killmonger/M'Baku seem to be moving at least

My Target didn't waste any time with the post Christmas clearance - Whatever Disney+ wave was left after the sale was 50% off along with the X-Men '97 jet, and GI Joe Classified Python Patrol Trubble Bubble - picked up 2 of those for 22.49 each.

I don't collect Python Patrol, but I'd be tempted by a marked down PP Trouble Bubble.  Thinking of painting the yellow parts red or black and having it pair with the HISS tank.

Haven't found anything too interesting at discount stores.  May check again today.

@ mmg310 Thanks for the heads up about the Trouble Bubble. My local store has them for full price, but I was able to find a store that had them at half price. I noticed that some stores also have the Hammond T-Rex at half price as well. 

Any last day sales????

@pakledjim I made a good call picking them up right when I saw them, the 10 or so that were left at the Wall Target were gone the next day

Target is officially clearancing the Hydra Stomper wave. Found Agatha, Fisk and Gamora all for $7.49 yesterday and Wanda at the same price. The clearance prices are also online, which is a first I've seen.

Saw a ton of Agathas yesterday which makes me so sad - she's one of my favorite figures of last year, and one they did a beautiful, bespoke job on. Why isn't she selling better?

I went ahead an picked up another Fisk and Fury at that price point for custom fodder. I picked up a Yelena also but got it home and it had an AEW Adam Cole figure in the package instead. 😞 I'm so happy that the windowless packaging has come to an end.

In regards to Agatha, this is often how I feel when I see figures that I love hit clearance. However most of the figures that I love are similar to this where they're just too obscure of a character to be mainstream popular. Meanwhile the 1,000,000th versions of Spidey, Wolverine and Cap sell out.... For what it's worth this Agatha was my personal favorite MCU figure of the 2023.

Quality doesn't always have a direct correlation with popularity. People aren't always collecting just because it's a great figure. And even "great" is debatable. I think she's done well, but also kind of a road cone. I don't find that kind of thing fun. Some people would prefer a comic version. There's plenty of reasons others may not have picked Agatha up.
