Alas, My local target has no rocketry items at all.
But I DID purchase three 3-packs of B6-4 s at my K-mart that were knocked down to $3.50. Check your K-mart too!! Phred

Al, especially if you can check more than one Target, it may be worth going back more than once. That's how I found some of the $1.24 three-packs that I picked up.

I went into a Target in North Scottsdale, AZ on my way home from work. They did have one C6-5 on the shelf I grabbed. Nothing else out, their system shows they should have had 2 more left(24hr delay), and like 2 other stores in Phoenix area have 1 & 2 qty onhand (may be incorrect). Best bet for you guys looking to snag them is call the stores have customer service rep. do a inventory search on the computer.
The Target sku is 087050388. Title is NCF ROCKET. Or have them do an inventory search for 'Estes'. Mark |

Walmart Cheap Motors
Guys....don't go by the shelf sticker price! I went to all the nearby Target stores looking for those really cheap motors Scott was typing about. Couldn't find any. Stopped in a Wal-Mart just to check their selection. They had some B6-4s for $4.97. Well, I needed some anyway and decided to pick up a pack. When I checked out, they scanned for $2.50. Needless to say, I went back and bought some more.
Actually, I was quite surprised at the selection this store had. B6-4s, B4-4s, A8-3 (no surprise there), A10-3Ts, and C6-5s. After I check my budget, I might slip out and pick up some more. But, I need to check my tire pressure first......

Wal-Mart in Kirksville, MO has:
-- an assortment of engines in the new "toy clearance" section, marked $4.00 a pack, and selling for that; -- C6-3's in the regular models and kits aisle, marked $4.00 a pack with a red clearance sticker; -- and a space on the shelf adjacent to the starter sets (just two now, no Astrobeam) marked "rocket engines $4.97," but no engines there. Considering that the price was $6.97 a pack (and the clearance tags say "previously $6.97"), I find that... strange.

The locat Target (Mobile, Schillingers Rd) where I had been finding B6-4s now has nothing at all in rocketry. Not even a starter set. Most of the Wal Marts have motors, but they're usually just C6s and A10s. So far, the shelf price has stayed the same at 4.97...

CP: You might want to actually scan the engines at Wal-Mart... I bought a batch last week that had been shelf-priced $6.97 for $4.00 a pack. This week, the shelf pricing is correct.

I'll do that on my next trip. Right now, I just haven't needed any more C6s or A10s...

I don't "need" them either... but considering how long we all know they keep on the shelf, I don't see any reason not to stock up if they are cheap.
I'm holding out for lower prices on the ones the Kirksville Wal-Mart has on clearance, now that I have enough for a while anyway.
