You missed the one on 17-92... ill hit it later and see what happens...

Went to check the Oro Valley Target and again no go. Anyone else in Tucson? I was going to at least try the Oracle/Roger, but the monsoon dampened by spirits and I just went home. BTW, I checked the Ina/Thornydale last night and they had nothing.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience, but the story is kind of funny, and I'm glad you shared it (about someone getting mad at corporate or whatever).

Tried Howell, NJ, at lunchtime and everything was scanning regular prices. Anyone tried Princeton or Hightstown?

Tried the Germantown store, the shelves were cleaned out. Did see a tag for Jaws 30th saying price cut with the $5.99 price.

Louisville KY -- As stated earlier, the Target in St. Matthews didn't have any ringing up at $5.99 this morning as far as I could tell, but the Target at Hurstbourne/Taylorsville Rd. did have one -- Moonlighting -- out of about 20 titles that I tried. I'm glad to have this DVD set for $5.99, because I never would have bought it otherwise. I think it scanned at $39.99 at the St. Matthews store.

try the mays landing stote

Bastard!

I went there on my lunch break and picked up Jaws, Triumph, and Dumb & Dumber. Seabiscuit was $5.99 too, but all they had was full-screen. There were tags for all of these.

Sadly, the last BoB they had scanned at $89.99, and none of the Friends or Sex and the Citys worked either.

Have you tried the La Habra Target yet?

No go in GA (stone mountain, of 78 hwy) :( at least I found some good steak :)

Just got a new Target locally...but it hasn't opened yet. :mad:

I'm kinda glad I don't have a Target near me. I've spent too damn much on DVDs lately as it is. It'd be too hard to resist plunking down the cash for at least one of each set.

I hit the Pico Rivera, CA store on Whittier this morning. They were still well stocked and had a lot of titles (FRIENDS, SEX AND THE CITY, BOB, OC, BUFFY, etc) that were ringing up at $5.99. Some guy who was there at the same time I was, picked up a load of FRIENDS sets. I decided to play it safe and only brought up 3 or 4 titles at a time to different registers. I left all the FRIENDS and SEX AND THE CITY sets because I wasn't interested in them. I ended up with 12 box sets in all, some of which will make nice gifts.

Anyway, I went back a couple of hours later and the shelves had all been cleaned out of the $5.99 titles. It turns out some idiot had gone there and tried to buy up all the $5.99 sets at once, which naturally made the manager suspicious and so they confiscated all the titles and refused to sell any of them. Once again, someone's greed blows the deal for everyone.

I went to both Targets in Mobile, AL and scanned a few titles (Band of Brothers, OC, 24, Looney Tunes, etc) and they all came up regular price on the customer price check machine in the middle of the store. Should I have gotten a store employee try to ring them up or would it have mattered? What did everyone else do?

My mileage varied. :(

It should ring up as the same price at checkout as it does on the customer price check scanner. Sorry.

The price it scans at is the price it will ring up as, so I don't think having a cashier ring it up would have made any difference.

This will alert to them that there's some pricing error goign on..just check the prices @ portable scanners..or an employee on the floor with a scanner....it seems a safe bet to bring them a copy of newlyweds 1 & 2, pochahantas 2 DVD SE, One Tree Hill, and Monk Season 3...at EVERY Target I was at yesterday & today they are 5.99

Good luck, I'll post my recpts as well.

I checked the Oracle/Roger store and no dice. I also check the El Con Mall store and the Broadway store and neither had $5.99 titles. I guess we tucsonians don't get any love.

ARGH!!! i was so close!!! i went back to the store and asked if they had any in the back. he brings out gilmore girls, the oc, and band of bros. im thinking "holy sweet ass!" i wanted to go pay up front where they dont know anything about dvds but he said i had to pay in the electronics. once he scanned BoB he knew something was wrong then called someone up and said he didnt have permission to sell those. i didnt want to get him in trouble because he's a friend so i didnt fight it. ill just have to go back when someone else is working and try again. *fingers crossed*

I didn't mean I was going to scan BoB on the portable scanner and when it came up $89.99, show an employee and have him/her scan it at a register. :D

But anyways, I might go back to the Target closest to me just to make sure I don't miss out on this deal. I'll grab a couple of things, like Band of Brothers, Batman, and The OC, and check them via employee rather than a scanner.

I urge you to just do it by using scanners on end caps. Speaking to employees only brings more attention...and they <b>DO</b> talk to each other.

It was a go at the recently opened Medford, NY store. Got:
Newsradio S1/2
Monk S3
Miami Vice S1
MacGuyver S2
3rd Rock S1

Bottom 3 are FT/FS

Well I missed out on the sets but did get 2 Pocahontas 2 disc. I tried many box sets and noticed a few empty slots of sex in the city, oc 1 and gilmore girls 2 that had dots on them. When i went to check out I asked about oc 1 and gilmore girls 2 but they had already been fixed. Oh well should have gone last night between my day job and night job.

I can confirm no deal at the Springfield, VA Target.

Well, as I don't live near a Target, I asked a friend of mine in Atlanta to look. He got Moonlighting, and the two Loony Toons sets. He got copies of the Loony Toons sets for me, but no Band of Brothers, which is what I was really looking for. :( But I'm certainly not going to complain! I just want to thank everyone on this thread and especially MBradley for sharing this with all of us.

Woodland Hills, CA Target is a GO GO GO after all.

Since I read the original post wrong (like an idiot, I read cheap DVDs at Target and BOLTED out the door without getting a list of what was for the offering), I apparently scanned every DVD set that WASN'T $5.99 (like Wonder Woman S3 and Smallville). I then came back and reported a negative.

An hour ago, I actually had to go BACK to the store to pick something else up (sue me, it's the nearest store for me to hit) and decided to try again (now knowing which titles to check out).

This time I hit gold! I picked up:

Friends Seasons 4-6-7-8-9
Sex and the City Seasons 1-2-3-5-6.2
The OC (2 copies)
One Tree Hill
Buffy Seasons 1 & 7
Fantastic Four Animated Series
Batman Animated Series 3
Looney Tunes Gold Collection 1 & 2
Band of Brothers (All 3 copies they had because they're EACH going to good homes).

They still had plenty of Sex and the City, Friends, Little House, Gilmore, Buffy, Miami Vice and A LOT of the other ones posted here.

I used the various check out methods (as to not arouse suspicion) and each time, the clerk said "Hey, What great deals!" or "I didn't know we had a sale going on."

Only the Security Guard who checked bags gave me an eyebrow.

GET THEM NOW!

So many people got in on this, just insane.

Reading PA target has NOTHING.

Trying to figure out if it's worth going to Brooklyn... Anyone?

Regular Prices at Lynnwood, WA. To my surprise it was actually stocked fairly well. All well, at least I can sleep knowing I tried. :)

someone posted earlier in the thread that they got the deal to work in Brooklyn, NY (i assume you mean NY)

No luck in Fergus Falls, MN. Everything was regular price and on the shelves. And for the record, it had those fancy price scanners.

Edit: I guess I didn't check some stuff like Looney Tunes and Pocahontas, though. As far as we can tell, is there any chance those would've been the $5.99 even though other stuff like BoB, Buffy, Jaws, and the OC weren't?

No dice in Hendersonville, TN. Going to check Rivergate Mall though. Let you know.

Update:
Limited success at Rivergate Mall Target.

The Score:
Fantastic Four 1994-95 Season
Batman AS V. 3
Little House on the Prairie S 8
(2) Joan of Arcadia S 1

None of the BIG series were marked down (Sopranos, BoB, Friends, etc). In fact when I went back to supplement my score, the employees were clearing off the shelf that had the remaining above discs. I think there was another cutomer with me that talked about the good deal a little too much to the clerk.

I'm guessing that this will effectively bury some of the resale value of these box sets. Or at the very least flood the market for a few weeks.

I went with low expectations, but returned with three copies of Band of Brothers, and one copy each of Monk: Season 3 and The OC: Season 1 from the Target in Sherman, TX. Thanks DVD Talk!

sherman, tx. thats a 5 hr drive from houston. 311 miles. hmmm.........

Didn't have much left in stock at Durham, NC store on 15/501; but picked up the following for $5.99:

Mary Poppins
Jaws
Spongebob Season 1
Spongebob Season 2

There is some early Xmas shopping out of the way !!! Thanks to OP

Full price at Sacramento Broadway Target.... the only one I'll have a chance to get to today.... sigh.

Both St. Cloud, MN Targets had a ton of stock but no deal. I'm hoping this floods the eBay market on some of these sets and I'll be able to pick up a decent deal there.

I made trips to both Tallahassee Targets today...
