You have no idea how jealous i am of the people getting these deals.

Although, as my wife reminded me as i checked the prices on every Friends and Sex in the City set last night, I have no room to put these sets, so i guess its ok that i didnt get the good prices. :(

Nabalab 08-09-05 12:09 PM

I just went on my lunch break to 2 Target's in Nassau County (Long Island). No such luck in Levittown or Hicksville (Broadway Mall).

Maybe I'll try Westbury later, but it's not looking good.

CrashNBurn69 08-09-05 12:21 PM

well, just got back from all over the city (houston). the only stores with the glitch are the sharpstown and the sugarland stores. at both stores everythings either sold out or been put into the back room. i managed to get jaws and mary poppins at sharpstown and a couple batman vol 3s at sugarland. not really what i wanted (the oc, gilmore girls, looney tunes, band of bros.) but i guess its ok. im still kicking myself for not hiding a couple sets because im absolutely sure i wouldve been able to buy them today. at both stores i checked out with foreign ladies which probably wouldnt have asked questions.

if it's not over now, it soon will be.

FWIW, the St. Matthews Store in Louisville, KY is a no go. I'm going to check one more on my way home from work.

Sabrett 08-09-05 12:26 PM

Went back to the store for the 3rd time and got

Gilmore Girls (3rd Season) $5.99

I said that the guy noticed the problem with the OC when I was there for the 2nd time, but I guess they didn't fix the rest of them...so everything was still $5.99. I love the stupidity at my Target.

Sweet Baby James 08-09-05 12:30 PM

The Target in Trumbull, CT-

Looney Tunes Volume 2(sold out of Volume 1)
Monk Season 3
Remington Steele Season 1
Batman Animated Volume 3
Third Rock From the Sun Season 1
SpongeBob Squarepants Season 1
SpongeBob Squarepants Season 2.

The Target in Orange, CT-

Jaws 30th Anniversary
Looney Tunes Volumes 1 and 2
Fantastic Four Complete Animated Series
Joan of Arcadia Season 1.

I scanned just about every set that these two stores had(the price check scanner was located right next to the DVD section at both stores) and other titles that had been previously mentioned scanned at full price. I don't want to sound like an ingrate, but I really wanted to score Charmed Season 1 and BOB. They both came up at full price. I'm going to check the Bethel location tonight to see if I can get lucky on these two sets.

A huge thanks to the OP for the deal of year so far, by far.:)

bis22 08-09-05 12:33 PM

Whoa, I don't get off work for another 4 hours, but I'm driving straight to Target afterwards to check it out. Those prices are insane!

darkhawk 08-09-05 12:42 PM

In Orlando, FL by the Millennia Mall, Scanned just about everything. Picked up:

Friends Seasons 6,7,8 (sold out of 9)
Little House on the Prairie Seasons 1,2
Looney Tunes 2
Mary Poppins
Will and Grace Season 3 (that's all they had)
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit starring Gregory Peck

Wish I had more money for the Sex and the City Season 1-6

danyanez 08-09-05 12:42 PM

Nothing at Mountain View, CA. But in Sunnyvale they were all sold out but Jaws and Pretender Season 1. I scan the price tags on the shelfs and they were $5.99. Too late for me.

Ditto.

I almost feel like telling my boss that I'm ill and taking a half-day off.

rjd72285 08-09-05 12:49 PM

I went to Target today, but they didn't have any price scanners, so I didn't check any of them out. Is anyone willing to pick some of these up for me or sell what they got. I am interested in these

Sex and the City
Band of Brothers
Gilmore Girls
the OC
The L Word

The Valeyard 08-09-05 12:51 PM

No go in Woodland Hills, CA

dplatt 08-09-05 12:51 PM

I got the following at the Target at the Waterfront in Pittsburgh:

Joan of Arcadia S1
News Radio S1&2
Looney Tunes 1
Looney Tunes 2
Marry Poppins

I scanned pretty much everything else that had been mentioned in this thread, but those were the only ones that came up at $5.99.

Johnny Zhivago 08-09-05 12:55 PM

Lexington, KY - Nicholasville Rd. = No go... Don't waste your gas if you're in the Lexington area. Didn't try the other location, not worth the fuel, traffic and time to drive out there.

BiMonSciFiCon 08-09-05 01:01 PM

Earlier went to my local Target & picked up:
Fantastic Four
Gilmore Girls Season 1
Little House Seasons 5-9
Sex in the City (cant remember which volume)
Friends Season 9
Pretender Season 1

Only Pretender and Seasons 5 - 9 of Little House left

going to take a chance and hit up some targets on the way home from work. i start at twelve and doubt i have enough time.

shadowhawk2020 08-09-05 01:09 PM

Damn I don't get off for an hour and really want the newsradio sets... Oh well if they have it they have it if they don't I will just be :(

DJ_Longfellow 08-09-05 01:10 PM

Damn....anyone from MI have any luck? I would like a few sets of a couple things...my wife was looking for a lot of these too. Oh well....I'll check later. Does this mistake seem to be only at the stores that remodeled?

yeldarb367 08-09-05 01:14 PM

Has anyone gone to a Target that had the prices on one visit and then corrected them by the time you stopped through again? I've heard about them pulling them off the shelves but have the prices actually been corrected yet?

Lemdog 08-09-05 01:16 PM

Nada in Huntington, West Virginia.

Tried four Targets north of Detroit. Crapped out at all four.

DVD King 08-09-05 01:18 PM

Which ones did you hit up? I have about 3-4 around me....but not sure if I want to stop on my way home. 14 & Gratiot one?

Pointyskull 08-09-05 01:20 PM

no luck in Matteson, IL
Band of Brothers scanned at $89 :(

Dragon Fly 08-09-05 01:23 PM

nada at the Salem, NH location. I did overhear some employees talking about it though when I walked by them.

Dr. D 08-09-05 01:24 PM

I just checked at lunch and it's still going strong in White Plains, NY. In fact, they had "price drop" signs with $5.99 marked for a whole rack of TV series DVDs. They were pretty picked over, though. I scanned about 20 titles and many were still on sale, so here is what was left as of 1:30pm:

Monk- S3
Remington Steele
Mary Poppins 2 disc
Pocahontas 2 disc
Fantastic Four- Complete Series
Little House on the Prarie (all 8 seasons were there)
Joan of Arcadia-S1
Batman Animated Series
Buffy the Vampire Slayer-S1 (I think there were a couple other seasons too)


I snagged the last copy of Charmed and Looney Tunes. There was not a trace of any seasons of Friends, Sex in the City, or the OC. Good luck and thanks for the post!

Swinger 08-09-05 01:27 PM

Unfortunately for me, I already own all of the titles listed here that I'm interested in. I went today to my store in KS pick up a BoB for a gift. Of course, it was normal priced. Same with Jaws and Batman v2. Batman V3, Looney Tunes v2, Pocahontas all scanned $5.99. Sex and the City were all cleared out.

kenbenobi 08-09-05 01:28 PM

No go in WI at 27th St. or Chase...

That was one of 'em.

Also 13 1/3 at John R.
15 mile at Van Dyke.
And M-59 at Schoener.

Good luck!

REL77 08-09-05 01:36 PM

No go in Fairlakes (fairfax), VA.... Lots of Boxes, no $5.99 though, checked ALOT. Ran into 2 other people looking for the same deal

honeybefly 08-09-05 01:37 PM

I just got back from my lunch. My Target looked wiped out, except for a few season sets of Friends and SATC. But then I scanned various sets of The Sopranos, and those were only $5.99 too. My sister is going to be thrilled, since it is her favorite show.

you must be joking right? The sopranos also? i was at Target and it didn't ring up $5.99 this morning...

jjacobs399 08-09-05 01:50 PM

Just went to target in brooklyn on Atlantic Ave. sold out of everything mentioned and tried other titles but had no luck.

yeldarb367 08-09-05 01:51 PM

Sopranos? Just when I thought I was done checking.

Half-Joey 08-09-05 01:53 PM

I just got back. I love every single one of you. LOVE.

I already own the Sopranos sets except the last season, i tried that and it was priced at $79.99.

I ended up getting

Complete Sex and the City set
3 x Band of Brother sets
Gilmore Girls season 1-3

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v151/Half-Josef/scan.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
