    I was confused by why the Legends were $20 and the Deluxes were $15 till I learnt they got the images wrong.
    Still it'll be good to grab the wave 2 legends
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

    They're going to get into a bit of trouble from customers about that one.
    And I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't a few fans trying to take advantage of it, to try to force a Target store to match the price of the image, instead of the price of the text next to the price that is actually correct.

    That's very serious. Bait and switch is illegal.

    People are reporting on Facebook that the Deluxes are scanning up at $15.

    I guess Target decided to take the loss on the figures an honour the lowest price for the sake of reputation, at least until they can issue a formal correction.

    Cool, might hit up Target tomorrow to see if there is a skullcruncher. $15 will sway me to get that one.

    Really goes to show what the real price they can bear is with these $20 sales that these figures previously had.

    The text says deluxe, just image in wrong place, the images are all bunched together so it's not really saying they are that price despite the photo goof.

    Huh that image above didn't load before.

    I read the fine print on that pic and awesome they have lowered the price to the goof amount, but I already got both wave, well except scourge.

    I must confess, I feel jealous. I bought each of the wave 1 and 2 deluxes long before this Target sale, with some at full RRP. If I'd known Target would sell them as low as $15, I'd probably have waited.

    I've been tempted to buy a 2nd Mindwipe as a "play" copy, since I keep most of my action figures MOC, including the Mindwipe I already own. But I remind myself I don't need it, and instead need to (and want to!) allocate the funds to my waifu's present since her birthday is in a couple weeks.

    Still, if you're like me and already bought all the deluxes and legends before the sale; the nice thing about it is that it makes the stock move faster, making the store more inclined to bring in wave 3 sooner than later.

    That's the thing. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes he eats you lol. Buy it early so you have it and not miss out, or wait for a sale to find they are hard to find. Call it an impatience tax. I have a layby on at Toys R Us for a few things I waited for. Like G2 Superion, could pick up on Toybento for half the price. I did for Menasor because TRU had none in stock. So lucky there lol
