Target catalogue 8/12 - 14/12

I recall previous discussions (involving Tiby?) where this was clearly indicated as an "invitation to treat" and they are not required to honor it. This would not fall under the OPTIONAL scanning code of practice that many supermarkets offer.

Usually somewhere in the catalogue it says that pictures may differ from actual product.
So the fact that the description and the price line up, I think you would have a hard time getting them to honor it.

Unless of course you manage to get the right salesperson at the right time..

I was in Target this morning and I couldn't find any public notices anywhere.

I was tempted to give it a shot, but the more I thought about it, the more I realised I didn't want Leader BB, even for $23 and with a free Starscream...

Did you get one?

Two targets never received any stock, and the one target I visit that does has a retraction notice on the shelf. Gr.r....r.r...

My Target also had a retraction notice. Oh well I was only going to get it and either resell it to buy toys for the Wishing Tree or donate it outright to the Wishing Tree anyway.

I tried posting this from my phone during my meal break tonight, but it kept failing to send the post... wasn't happy.
Anyway, I wanted to say that on the way to work today, I stopped into the Browns Plains store and saw that they had a correction notice posted up in the toy section. BUT, they still got it wrong. Now they have specifically stated that the "Leader & Deluxe" set is $23, and the "Cyberverse" set is $79.... so now you should have a better chance of getting it cheap, because that's the words used by their computer systems - in other words, now you can actually challenge the price of an item reading "Leader & Deluxe" set when it scans up as $79. Just have a staff member or manager come over to the correction notice to verify that anything registering on their system as "Leader & Deluxe" set is to be $29, and then take one of the Bbee/Starscream sets to a scanner (if they don't have a hand-held one), and show them it's description and $79 price tag.

At least with the catalogue error, the descriptions were correctly matched to the prices (it was just the example photos that were mixed up, so would have been more difficult to challenge). Now that they have mixed up the actual descriptions/titles, they've got nothing now matching to the correct prices.

It's the same as when TRU has in their catalogue "Deluxe Mechtech" and had to honour the discount with their Scanning deluxes because their head office put the word "Mechtech" in the title of those 4 toys in their computer system (which is what they would say at the register and on the shelf tags).

Photo proof:



I'm gonna try testing it out tomorrow or saturday.

What a lovely idea - giving toys for Christmas. I might pick up some legend pegwarmers and do that. Sometimes its hard to imagine a childhood WITHOUT toys when you're surrounded with so many.
