Since this was a long promised gift for our six year old son, she purchased it and he began to play with it. When I later learned of this deception my wife tried to return the items, but was told they were unreturnable since they were opened...
The advertisement was placed in the Rochester, NY "Democrat & Chronicle" newspaper which claims a Sunday circulation of approximately 225,000.
That Target knowingly stocked only five (5) units of an advertised item in such a venue is unreasonable and in fact extremely misleading (while supplies last!).

Foolish - mislead some is always possible.

"There too foolish to buy from, therefore I have reason. Tell me I am wrong and I have a better reason to avoid your store, I saw and I heard it - force me to deny what I see and heard and read, therefore, I have more to see and hear, more of a good reason to avoid your store, or more cautious of - your deceit - I believe I see and read and heard."
Every store can be different - People are never in every store, everywhere, (whether a customer or not), a Target store can be found, therefore mistakes can happen and not by all stores, perhaps
Once open a time, they had a card, with the number to call about unethical things, Target workers found, could call, be it false or real, therefore, never more.
I once worked at a Target store, I know how many lies or misunderstanding can be created, by someone, I could list a number of them, we were expected to remember, that we did discuss at break time and laugh about - what do you expect, we saw and heard it, its a paradox. Stock the sheles, Work fast, answer questions from customers, yet its your fault for not getting it done in less time. Therefore some people find ways to refuse to answer customers. I could create a much bigger list, I saw and heard it.
What was I fired for - not showing up. I was a customer - asking about what they sell - told to leave - stay away. What was his excuse - reason, She is too lazy and - presume I am helping her to extend her time to finish, so she can get more money. She was finishing stocking - left early.
To mislead some is always possible, fact is, is it real, and it can be used to coverup the facts or fiction.
