Target Summer Toy Clearance: eyes open for this Thursday to go 70% off

Target has two really big toy clearances in a year.  One results in 70% off lots of different toys in February (clearing out of extra Christmas stock) and 70% off in July (to make room for new stock in time for Christmas).  I am guessing (and past Target history) shows this Thursday should be the day it goes (most, maybe not all) 70% off.  So you might want to check them out this Thursday (Thursday's are the mark down day for toys) to see what you can score (great way to save $ for birthday presents and Christmas presents). 


**UPDATE 7/12: No go this week on majority of clearance going 70% off.  I am guessing it will be next week.
