At Target Dandenong today they had shelf tags with mark down prices on several TF lines (which would make the buy one and get one half price deal better).

AOE legions $3
RID Minicons $5
RID One Step $10

$300, I guess that's ok, but wasn't there meant to be other stores getting the G2 sets? Might see what their prices are before I commit that much of my TF funds.

A note about Target's buy one get one half price sale. It charges you the more expensive item 100% and gives you 50% off the less expensive one.

Let's say you by four items. Item one and two are $40 each. Items three and four are $15 each. You would expect the register to work it out like this for the best deal:

Item 1: $40
Item 2: $20 (half price)
Item 3: $15
Item 4: $7.50 (half price)
Total $82.50

Instead Target's registers work this way (the best deal for Target because you pay an extra $12.50):

Item 1: $40
Item 2: $40
Item 3: $7.50 (half price)
Item 4: $7.50 (half price)
Total: $95

Hint: put item 1 and 2 through together as transaction one and 3 and 4 together as transaction two.

That's how all these deals work. As someone that works retail I rarely have a customer that doesn't understand it's off the cheapest items, but there is the odd person the doesn't.

No problems with the fact that the second item must be lesser or equal value. However, I assumed the register would work it out to benefit the customer, especially with multiple lots of identical items!

Yeah every deal I've ever seen is that the cheaper item is the one you get for half price. Otherwise people would be buying the Gestalt sets for $200 then an $8 miniCon so they could get a hundred off the bigger item - stores would lose out big time because you could just walk back in 5 minutes later and do it again.
