In the after-Christmas toy clearance, we found a SpinMaster Storytime Theater projector with the Winnie the Pooh cartridge for $7 or thereabouts, which we're planning on giving our youngest son for his birthday next month. I'd like to have a couple more of the different story cartridges that are (allegedly) available, but can't find them anywhere but Ebay (where they're big $$$).
Any fellow SDers who have seen the storybook cartridges for this item (Dora, Nemo, etc.) recently and can steer me in the right direction?
Many thanks, in advance, for any info!!!

It all started when I brought back a vacuum cleaner that malfunctioned with a current reciept, but not the box, I had thrown it out a couple weeks after purchase. This Team Leader was called over, and basically told me I would get a new one but they would take the box, but if I had future problems I was out of luck, and she saw no reason why this vacuum would malfunction, she was just kind of rude. I just brushed it off, but now everytime I go there (I swear she plans her work schedule around my visits
I do get a lot of the clearance items, but always legit. There was a question about some clearance diapers from the special buy (after they went 15% off) I tried to buy one box, but they were not scanning correctly. They were with all the other boxes in a different area of the store so I knew they were with the 15% off. Of course she is right there, and she takes them back comes back empty handed and tells me they are not clearance yet, and if I want clearance items I need to go back and select a different box. I go back and the red shirts are starting to tag these boxes, they had just missed that bunch. What is with this lady, I just do not get her, what I am doing wrong?
Your insights would be much appreciated, I just want to do my bargain shopping in peace.

For example, when the lysol spray was clearanced at $2 (org. $4) and I used a $2 MQ, they tried to deny it by saying it's not the same item as pictured. The MQ says, "any size 12 oz or larger", and the Lysol was 12 oz & had a free travel size attached to it (isn't that 12 oz or larger?). There was another shopper that had picked out the same item & had the same MQ, but I didn't have time to wait to see how they would treat her coupon.
Another time, the LOD tried to tell me "limit one coupon per purchase" means "per transaction."
Lately, I have been very tempted to call or write corporate about this unfair treatment and use "harassment" as my argument. Enough is enough!!! In general, I buy more when I am in there with my coupons, but I guess, my money is not needed for this store.
What is the best approach? I think it's depending on if the person responding to each complaint is customer friendly or not. Targets don't really follow the rule "customers are always right." In this case, they make it looks like they could careless if I ever come back.
My first tactic would be to try to shop at a completely different time than you normally do. She can't work there 24/7, right?
Next, try a few small-ish runs with completely legit Qs. Lots of string cheese and fake meat and Campbell's soup. You get the idea. Hopefully, after a few "false alarms" like these, she'd get the hint and stop wasting everyone's time.
If all else fails, you might have to start branching out wrt the Target stores you go to. I know some are much more blessed in this area than others, but hopefully you have at least a couple others in somewhat close range.
HTH (at least a little)
thanks for the advice, I wont seek out the manager, it is really hard for me to go times other than early afternoon because of kids naps, and in the evening I dont need my dh see me bring in bags of target stuff, he just does not understand
