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!!

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'.

Default 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.
