Dysons at Target

I was at Target today and saw the yellow Dyson DC07 and DC14 on a clearance endcap, for $339 and $389, respectively. I had to laugh when they put this Eureka bagless I had never seen before (called "Uno") placed right above them. But I guess the average consumer would see the price difference and not know any better, that the machine has a messy, clogging, dust-spewing bin filter.
After I got what I needed I swung by the vacuum aisle and noticed two different DC17 models (Asthma+Allergy and Animal), the DC18, and a probably store-exclusive red DC07 there. Other than that, the usual Dirt Devil, Bissell and Hoover fare. One thing I noticed was that I did not see the pink Target-exclusive "Fight Breast Cancer" DC07; I was in a bit of a hurry so I may have overlooked it though. But last I heard Target was not dropping that model for obvious reasons.
If I were to guess what is happening, Target is dropping the traditional yellow DC07 and DC14 to focus mainly on the DC17/18, with a couple of exceptions of course.
