    I rang the local Target in Palmerston, Darwin. I spoke to ... someone. Not the manager, but this person flat out told me they don't price match. I tried to argue and say there's proof other Targets in Australia are matching, and she wouldn't budge. Said that was up to the individual Targets to do so, but they don't. Ever.

    I went to Target Indooroopilly today and tried to get them to price match Jetfire with a printout of the receipt someone here uploaded whereby a Big-W price match was honoured (at the Liverpool, Sydney Target).

    A lady came over from customer service and said that they don't price match. I queried her as to why one store would when theirs don't. She looked like I had just asked her the meaning of life, after recovering she then asked the store hand to ring out the back and see what they think. I then got the response saying they only price match during their toy sale which is coming up soon. Roooiight. What's their motto again? 100% miserable?

    A few weeks ago I saw clear signage at Target for the upcoming toy sale stating that they'd price match any items on layby. I looked for the fine print as I didn't fully understand it, but I couldn't find it. When i went back the following week, the signage was gone, and I can't find a trace of it anywhere now.

    I actually asked the lady at Indooroopilly Target if I could laybuy Jetfire then price-comparison him during their sale. She said no, you commit to pay the price on the item at the time of doing the laybuy. :/

    Wow, didn't realise my Jetfire price matching shenanigans would set off such a powderkeg!! I hope the manager at Liverpool Target doesn't get into shit and prevent me from price matching there ever again!

    In Victoria, pretty sure Target Watergardens will do price matching as it is vividly posted in front of the store entrance.

    This is a coincidence as I was only at Morayfield Target a few hours ago and asked if they price-match, as there was a large stock of Leader Jetfire. Their policy was no price-matching at all on toys because their sale starts in a couple of weeks, and even if the sale wasn't on they don't generally do it.
