I've seen a lot of people posting reasons about the markdown, so here is what I have read about the situation so far.
The Han, Luke and Retro figures were all brought in as promo items for the Father's Day setup. They are considered Men's department items, even though they all have "Toy" DPCI numbers. But they have no assigned location in the toy department, and with Father's Day over, they are being marked down in the same manner as Christmas or Halloween products are. A few employees are speculating there was an error, but this is truly the only reason for the quick markdown. It has nothing to do with poor sales or anything else.
This is a quote from someone on Facebook-
“Holiday” themed items are PLU clearance vs the normal scanned and ticketed clearance. PLU is for stuff like Xmas, Halloween, Valentines, etc, so the team members don’t have to keep scanning and reticketing. The markdowns happen in the system automatically over days vs weeks. Since these were part of the Father’s Day set, they’re getting the rapid fire PLU markdowns. End Quote
Not 100% sure about the game, but that does appear to be an actual "toy" item, and will be worked into the game section, if not already done.
On another note, I was able to take part in the markdown, and got two more Han Stormtroopers. Also grabbed a couple more Luke figures, because for that price, why not?
