Why bother going in when you can click and collect for free and not have to yawl the shops and hope that items are in?

So true. I have used Click and Collect at BigW, Myer, JB and is brilliant. Have not tried Target.

Good, this one starts when I am visiting Australia - the rest are all over by the time I arrive. Looking at picking up exclusives that don't make it over here to New Zealand

Do they normally wait this long to put out the catalogue? I would have thought they would get it out by now so people don't spend their cash at Big W. They probably don't care if people spend their money at Kmart tho being the same company (Wesfarmers).

Last year, Target had their toy sale at the same time as the other two (it might have started a day before or after). I would guess that this year Wesfarmers or the Target execs are being savvy, by having the half price toy sale around the time as the other stores' toy sales to compete with them, but then also having the larger toy sale later on.

I am still hoping some Marvel Legends will appear at Target like they did last year. They seemed to sell pretty well, at least in Rocky.

They're on their own. Kmart isn't going to extend a subsidy to Target if they fail to meet their financial requirements & vice versa

Happened to read this morning in the financial review that Wesfarmers has seriously downgraded the value of the Target business. Apparently Target has been losing money for the past few years (while Kmart's profits have exploded) so it looks like Wesfarmers may be trying to sell-off Target.

Thats for the link to the sneak peek JuzMel!

that's no surprise.

i think i was 2-3yrs ago i was in target in the city and i asked the closest employee if they price matched? he proceeded to talk to me in an uppity manner going on about how target was above kmart and bigw and and how they were like the david jones compared to the myer... then he finally told me they didn't price match.

i almost punched that guy... seriously yes or no would have sufficed.
