    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...
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    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.

    Good luck testing it! I would, but I really don't want Leader Bumblebee or Starscream.

    I damn want a Leader Class Starscream at $29!
    They're impossible to find around the Illawarra, the last time I saw one was on clearance for $89.90 at Kmart Warrawong about 7-8 Months ago.

    God damn that is an epic fail!

    I saw the retraction notice when I was in there this afternoon but didn't bother reading it too closely so not sure if it said the same or not. Will have to check when I go back in there tomorrow morning.

    Well, I tried one Target this morning with no luck. They would not budge!! Tried another this arvo and scored 2 at $23 each!! So tried another earlier on and got 4 at $23 each!! The first one was the only one that had the correction notice.

    What are you going to do with those 6 Leader / Deluxe? That's a fair bit of quantity.
