No deal at the Sand City or Watsonville stores, but it was good at the Salinas store in CA. Too bad EVERYTHING was gone (after reading some posts, I assume they were all pulled). Only thing I could find was JAWS 30th - which for some strange reason was shelved in 2 different areas one with the $16.99 price tag and another with a $5.99 tag. They had 4 Sopranos, I checked 2 and one came up not in the system and the other was full price.
I haven't read every single post, but has anyone noticed a store not having the prices yesterday, but then having the prices today? Watsonvile was pretty much stocked on everything, so I would love it to work there. It seems strange only certain stores would have the mistake when these prices must have come from some master database (the disgruntled employee someone mentioned). I just want to know if I should waste the trip tomorrow.

the target greatland on harbor blvd in costa mesa had none of these titled mentioned anywhere. i bet someone probably already pulled all of them off the shelves.

No luck at Targets on 38th and Eagle Creek Pkwy, 101st and Michigan, and the one on 86th St between Allisonville and Shadeland in Indianapolis. Has anyone had any luck at the Target in Fishers, IN, or the one on 86th and Westfield? If anyone else is in the area the Target at 38th and Eagle Creek Pkwy still had Jaws for 5.99, but only 1 or 2 copies left as of 5:00 pm today.

For the Maryland DVDTalkers:
Just for the record, checked the Reisterstown, MD Target tonight on the way home. No luck there. So thats goose eggs in Pikesville, Towson and Reisterstown.
Will check Cockeysville tomorrow morning, for the sake of argument, though I'm not expecting much.

As I was looking at the dvd's, some guy (not an employee) asked me if there was a sale. He seemed cool enough, so I was like "yeah, not really advertised though". He then told me that he found out through slickdeals, and I told him I found out from here. We both chuckled. No BoB to be found though, which we were both looking for!
And oh yeah - no luck at the Target in College Point (Queens) either. But I have a feeling the "sale" *was* going, but it was stopped by the time I got there.

Just got back from the Colonial store in Orlando for the 3rd time today. The prices are still messed up, but they were fairly picked over. I picked up the last copy of Fantastic Four and 3 copies of Joan of Arcadia. They still had some Little House on the Prairie, and several copies of Pretender and Friends Season 8, also 2 copies of Jaws left. I think that was it for the $5.99 stuff. I scanned all the Sopranos, and they all rang up full price.
I'm probably gonna head back again tomorrow afternoon and see if they get in a restock and put the stuff out and don't have the prices fixed. I'm still looking for The L Word, the OC, Nip/Tuck (didn't know this was one of the titles) and Band of Brothers.

DVD Talk Godfather
Pocahontas
Looks as if there are a bunch of DVDtalkers that are missing out on this great deal. I started a Big Target Exchange thread in the excange forum so check it out and anyone that can handle picking up extras, there are plenty of good people here that would love some help.

I checked both the Madison, WI Targets tonight and no dice (all rung up at regular price).
But thanks the post, OP. Maybe next time it'll work for me. It was fun waiting all day and thinking about what could have been.

Scored in Selma, Tx
Sponge Bob season 1 and 2
Pocahontas 2 disc edition
Little House on the prairie Seasons 1-8
Joan of Arcadia season 1
Wow, I was nervous bringing up all these box sets to register. The clerk started screaming "WOW these are great prices". Which drawed attention from other employees. I was waiting for someone to tell me the prices were wrong. Luckily it rang up, and I ran out of the store before they changed their minds about the sale. I will check out other Targets around San Antonio tomorrow. I can't believe this has not been fixed yet on their system. I don't think this is going to last long.
So hurry if you are in San Antonio!

four stores in Houston everything rings up the regular price...
then a store on Jones Rd... The shelves have been wiped clean!!
But I walk over to the side by the toy section and I almost FALL OVER!
TWO Shopping Carts with EVERY title mentioned in this thread! They obviously pulled the product. I casually peruse these carts and select one of each... glide through a check out lane where the girl had NO idea what I bought and voila!
I am stoked. Only bad thing is NO Band of Brothers!!

store on Mira Mesa had everything I scanned full price (tried like 8 different titles that are listed the most here). Anyone in the San Diego area have any luck? I doubt I will go by any other stores before everything is fixed or gone.

Picked up Moonlighting S1/2, Hogans' Heroes S1, & MacGuyver S1 @ Pasadena(TX) Store @ 8am today. All others mentioned that I was interested in came up reg $.
Slipped by the Almeda Mall store & scored a few more - LHOTP S6,7,8, Sponge Bob S2 & Batman V3.
Tried 3 other area stores & completely stuck-out - Kemah, Baytown & Baybrook(figured I'd re-verify earlier findings). I didn't hit the Kemah/Baytown stores until tonight, so maybe Corp fixed the prices by now?

The only thing I could find for $5.99 at my local Target (Fort Wayne, IN Stellhorn Rd) was the Jaws 30th Anniversary, so I picked it up. That was about 1 hour ago.
I checked the Target by Glenbrook, but all of the items were ringing up full price.
