It's the new way to get you back in the store - you'll buy something else when you go back in to price match!

This is most likely what's going on.  On-again-off-again sales, in and out of stock multiple times a day, stores showing "in stock" not actually in stock.  It's quite a game they're playing.

Anyway, I was able to get my $25 Phoenix on Friday from the one out-of-the-way Target that I could do an order pick up from.  With rush hour and perpetual Twin Cities construction, my half hour trip took 45 minutes one-way.  An hour an a half total.  I know beggars shouldn't be choosers, I'm happy with the price, but I don't think I'll go that far out again.

@mrboshek Thanks. Now I can see what Target and I are both missing. 😆

They're just incompetent at managing inventory well--which is true for Walmart as well for the most part.  Watch them for any amount of time and it's clear that they've de-emphasized managing inventory well for whatever reason.

I've had some experience with inventory management within companies, and it's costly.  So them choosing not to manage it well may be the right call for their bottom line, I'm not really sure.  Certainly I hate it since they're my favorite place to buy Legends, but I also acknowledge that it might be the right call financially.  Most stores don't manage inventory well to the extent where what you see on the web site matches what's in their stores, so I can't hold them to a higher standard than I hold every other retail store.

Redcap's Corner is doing another Hasbro toy sale again, today and tomorrow only, with free shipping at $60 or more. We're not setting individual sale prices for each figure this time. Instead, all of them are just 30% off the listed price (this discount applies in your cart and won't be shown on the upfront pricing). We only charge sales tax for Pennsylvania residents (or local pick-up), and we also have a number of One:12 and Mythic/Cosmic Legions in-stock (which aren't on sale, but do qualify for the free shipping if you pick up at least one Hasbro toy). Stock is extremely limited on most of these items, but we are going to be adding additional items to the website throughout the day as time permits (Bossk, Darth Vader, Mae, Osha, Super Battle Droid, 4-WD Stinger, Doc, Gnawgahyde, Jinx, Night-Creeper, Sgt. Slaughter, and Torch, if memory serves; if placing an order before these are up, feel free to mention any of these in the comments and we can add them to your order and get in touch to settle up). Check out the deals here:

Stopped at an Ollie's in Uniontown, PA and they had some M.O.D.O.K. figures for $30, Joe Fixit, Captain America (Bucky), Iron Man (Avengers 60th anniversary), Captain Marvel & Dr. Doom (2 pack), Black Knight & Sersi (2 pack( & Nighthawk & Blur (2 pack).

I would have liked to seen the Black Widow from the Avengers 60th anniversary line.

Here's a new Ross find I would love to get if I had a nearby Ross:  GI joe x Transformers Thunder Machine for $25.  Been thinking about getting into them, but dropping $100 makes it even tougher now. I picked up the Sgt Slaughter Triple T yesterday from Amazon to gauge my interest when it dipped to $82 (from $90).

I just ordered one and it says he'll be delivered tomorrow. That's the best collector con experience, ever.

Ordered two. One in green to keep with the Brotherhood, and a second to swipe the head from to swap that onto the blue costume body.

True, but it's not like they're never going to have another sale.

Another sale will come just in time for the items to go back out of stock!
