OK! I’m seeing rumors that the annual Target 70% off toy clearance is starting to roll out in some stores today 1/17. If you spot 70% off at your store, please comment here with your store’s location and we’ll start keeping a running list. Thanks, all! 
(I’m not putting everyone’s names in this time as with reader deals so we can keep the list compact — don’t be offended, your comments are super appreciated!)
