If anyone has a spare bb from this sale, I'd be keen to buy it (for the very same price you paid of course) to do a custom repaint.

Target Shellharbour had the same retraction notice griffin posted in their Transformer section. However there are no Transformers on the shelves.

My wife went into Target Waverley Gardens last night and they did not have any catalogue correction notices on the shelves or anywhere in the store. It scanned at $79 and she told the cashier it was advertised at $23. The cashier called someone on the phone to confirm the price and they approved the sale, then the manager overheard and intervened

Target Morley had the correction notice, but when I queried it with a staff member he called the manager who gave him the correct price. He did say the correction notice was badly worded.

Just to clarify a legal point here - as jaydisc and others have already touched upon - Target has two legal options here:
1. Sell the toy for the advertised price of $23, or...
2. Withdraw the items from sale, remove all the Bumblebee/Starscream Value Packs off the shelves, then put up a correction notice and then restock the shelves - as evidently some Targets have already done. After this has been done, then they can sell the toys for $79 each.
What Target cannot do is sell the toy for $79 prior to putting up a notice.

That's what they've done at Shellharbour Target. Left up the incorrect correction notice and pulled all the stock from the shelves. I mean there is nothing there.Originally Posted by GoktimusPrime

They did not do that at Waverley Gardens, they had no correction notices and when my wife questioned the manager about where the notice was, she just said it was published in the newspapers... bullsh!t.
I've submitted a complaint through there online feedback page. I know nothing will eventuate out of it, but I'm hoping I can reciprocate the frustration and wasted time.

This is not what I implied, nor does it match any interpretation of "invitation to treat" that I have read. Target can simply tell any person that tries to buy the item at that price that there was a mistake in the catalog. No withdrawal required. No public notice required. Nothing required.
I take it back. I'm wrong: http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.../itemId/322984

^This.
Just speak in a calm voice -- pointing out that the catalogue shows a photo of the Value Pack for $23 <---stick to this. If they try to tell you that the prices have been erronously swapped around, just keep reminding them that the catalogue clearly shows a photo of the Value Pack with a $23 price tag. Then just sit back and be patient - give them time to properly examine the catalogue and the small photo of the toy and compare it with the actual toy in front of them. Let them call the toy section manager to come down and see for themselves. If they say anything, just keep telling them that the photo is the Value Pack and not any other kind of Bumblebee -- show them how the packaging is identical and you can even see Deluxe Starscream in the photo (because Cyberverse Bumblebee certainly doesn't come with Deluxe Starscream); in other words, just stick to the facts. They'll realise that you're correct and from that point they only have two options -- withdraw the item from sale or sell the toy to you at the advertised catalogue price.
In such instances if the staff choose to sell the toy to me for the advertised price, then I'm always mindful to be thank the staff for allowing me that grace (remembering that they don't have to do that). If they decline the sale from me, then I just say something like, "That's alright. Thanks anyway." and leave it at that - because they fully entitled to withdraw the item from sale if they want to.
