Target Toy sale - November 7th to 16th

[Bato]

NOTE - Catalogue sale goes until November 16th, but the Transformers page is on sale until November 27th.

TR Legends for $15 (save $5)
TR Deluxe for $20 (save $5)
RID Minicon for $6 (save $2)
RID One-Step for $15 (save $4)

ALSO NOTE - the images for the four Transformers items are mixed up, so don't expect the stores to sell the Deluxe toys for $15 or the One-Steps for $6.

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

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.

[UltraMarginal]

That is one hella confusing catalogue page.

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.

I've seen that too, I don't' think I'll be getting to a target till tomorrow at best though.

[MV75]

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.

Yep they're $15 each

Back when I was working at Target, the rough mark-up on toys was about 40-50%. (ie for every $30 you spent, Target got $12-$15 with the remainder going to the wholesaler)

But remember, that mark-up goes to pay for salaries, rents, utilities, etc not just raw profit.

Effectively (unless wholesale costs have gone down in the last 5 years), it appears that Target is effectively charging wholesale on Deluxes to honour the catalogue mistake.
