Nothing @ the Houston Galleria location. Probably the same everywhere else.

BTAS @ 5.99 would have been sweet.

Anybody have any luck in the Maryland area? The two stores I checked today (Pikesville and Towson) came up as no-gos.

Anyone try this in the Northern Virginia (Leesburg) area?

The nearest Target for me is there, so I don't know if I should make the 40 mile trip, or not.

Best,

I meant to go first thing this morning, but I didn't make it down to Target until 1:00 or so.

I purchased:

Miami Vice S1
MacGyver S2
Newsradio S1-2
Magnum PI S2
Johnny Carson Box Set
Batman the Animated Series Set 3
Looney Tunes Volume 2

They had a lot of other stuff:

The OC
Gilmore Girls (2 or 3 different sets)
Sex in the City (multiple seasons)
Friends (4 or 5 seasons)
Little House on the Prairie (multiple seasons)

I did not see Band of Brothers at all and Buffy season 1 rang up at $29.99

This was at the Macon, Georgia store.

From the ones I've checked (sterling, reston) and the ones posted by others (leesburg, fair lakes, chantilly & springfield) so far the answer is no.

I just got back from the Bethel, CT store and there was nothing left on the shelves. Either someone cleaned them out or they pulled the sets off of the shelves until they could fix their pricing. Bummer too because there was an empty space where BOB would have been.

I went to the Fairfield, NJ store on lunch and tried scanning Band of Brothers, The O.C., One Tree Hill, Batman TAS. All scanned at regular price. I may try the Hackensack, NJ store after work but I have a feeling I am wasting my time. Any other NJ residents have any luck?

LOL. yeah, I will claim as my defense that "Paradise Valley" isn't clear on where the location is.

I think I'd feel guilty for taking advantage of their obvious mistake, stupid conscience!

Someone talk some sense into me!

This is the only time I'll go into a Target, when I can gouge them on a price mistake or otherwise make them lose money. Personally, they're worse than Wal-Mart to me, but that's for another thread.

You're going to have trouble on this bargain board if you bring morality into play.

Hey, did you by any chance check out the Memorial City Mall Target? Please let me know.

I went to the Target by Almeda Mall and a few things rang up (Batman Animated Series Vol. 3, Little House of the Prarie, Joan of Arcadia, and Fantastic Four, but that's it). Still, I'm really pleased to have gotten anything at all.

I'm gonna stop by my local Target after work, but I have feeling they'll have the correct prices.

In my area, Target is better than Walmart. I hate going to Walmart around here, it's waaaaaay too crowded. You can't move around in there. Now Target on the other hand...

I'm the master of hearsay, so I'll add my experience.

Mostly I wanted Gilmore Girls, SATC, and Friends, since I picked them up on the Costco sale a couple weeks back, but would return them to avoid having to wait for a couple rebates each.

First went to the Lakeline SuperTarget after 1pm local. No luck on anything, even trying Charmed, and Joan of Arcadia. There seemed to be a full supply of all titles happily on the shelves. Jaws 30th Anniversary did ring up at $5.99, so I picked it up (last copy).

Similar results at the Capital Plaza Target: Orderly and full shelves, all scanning "correctly". But they had about 5 copies of Jaws remaining, which scanned there at $5.99. I left them there.

Stopped at the being-renovated Target on Research and Ohlen. Sadly, due to renovation, all the testing scanners have been removed/unplugged (though an old lady swore the one remaining had "beeped"). So the girl in Electronics had to do the scan (a manager told me to go to her).

The shelves looked ransacked, unlike the other Targets, which I took as a good sign. But that could have been the construction affect on things. Coincidentally (or not) that store did still have the old scanners (red LED), at least the one I saw that hadn't yet been removed. I didn't want to drag a dozen or so sets to the counter, so I brought a sample of GG and SATC. All scanned at the correct price. I then grabbed a couple Friends and another SATC. No dice, but ONE EXCEPTION.

While she was about to scan Friends Season 1, another clerk brought an OC and said "here's another one of the $5.99 ones". I wasn't interested in that one, and she didn't scan it, but that didn't bode well for me. All the rest scanned correctly, except Friends Season 1. So after he mentioned that and left, and she was about to scan my others I asked about "what that other guy was talking about".

She related to me that "an angry person at corporate" had messed with the pricing system, and that they got a memo this AM stating so. They were told to "pull everything" until it got fixed, though she said that corporate, not the individual store, would be fixing the prices (who knows). She said that "someone got fired" over it. But she still was going to let me take the Friends Season 1. Since that is the only title I didn't get at Costco, I couldn't return the one I already had (that I had for ages, but is still unopened, it's my wife's actually). So I left it.

So in theory, there is 1 Friends Season 1 at $5.99 in north Austin, and if it wasn't dumping down rain on my way home last night, I probably would have scored.

Oh well. You snooze...



I'm curious that if corporate pushed a memo, were those with luck today more on the East coast where more would have slipped through before the "fix" was made.
