SuvieD Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Target stores have the batcave at $69.99 USD. Not online only in the actual stores and I think this is a mistake on theior part so get one for this price if you can. Good luck bargain hunters!
natelite Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 crap...when was that? must be new. do they have arkham asylum too? how much is that? gotta make my way to target this weekend. hopefully it is still there! thanks suvieD!
Dr Lucky Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah, I picked mine up at Target for $69.99 on Thursday. It wasn't marked as a sale or discount or anything, it was just like that was the regular price. It's got to be a mistake.
sam89 Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah, I picked mine up at Target for $69.99 on Thursday. It wasn't marked as a sale or discount or anything, it was just like that was the regular price. It's got to be a mistake. From what I've heard, Target mixed up the prices of the Batcave and the UCE Batmobile (7784). Apparently 7784 is priced at $89.99, the price of the Batcave.
natelite Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 well, i got one too at 69.99 + tax. havent open it yet. i may just buy out my local target shops tomorrow then. :-D edit: i managed to get another one. rest of stores were sold out. 8-|
SuvieD Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 News travels fast. I hope everyone who wanted one got one. I am sure Target will not have the price incorrect by the time more come in.
natelite Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 News travels fast.I hope everyone who wanted one got one. I am sure Target will not have the price incorrect by the time more come in. i dunno about that. gate assault 7705 is priced wrong online for like 6 months now at 19.89. you even get it shipped free if you purchase through amazon.com. even with the wrong tag, target still makes a decent profit from the set. don't forget we know the retailers get a 38% margin over srp. 69.99 is just 22.2% discount over $89.99 retail. so they still get 16% gross profit per set. :-D someone in target might wise up though like you said...but i don't think senior management is ever going to notice a profitable set suddenly selling like hotcakes. :-)
SuvieD Posted August 9, 2006 Author Posted August 9, 2006 Was just at Target picking up lunch for the rest of the week and the batcave is back to $89.99. Sorry if you missed it. On the plus side the UCS Batmobile got a price cut to $69.99. ;-) I didn't think it would take long but like I said, news travels fast.
