  1. pb says:

    Sorry I dont get this

  2. dmb says:

    So who wouldn’t rather play red dead redemption over toy story 3

  3. John says:

    I hear they’re adding Woody as DLC

  4. Dadof3 says:

    Would be a win if Toy Story 3 added an undead mode!

  5. vaxx says:

    this is a win.
    why? toy story games fail thats why.

  6. kaspar says:

    wellll…..uhhhhm……………………………..uhhmm………………………………………………………………FAIL!………….yep thats it……………….

  7. Aja says:

    Did he redeem?

  8. Andrew says:

    Well, I submitted it. It’s a fail because this Target in Bellevue, NE is substituting a cowboy Grand Theft Auto for Toy Story 3… Not exactly a typical child’s game. It’s in no way a substitute… Yeah, I’d rather play RDR, but I’m not interested in TS3 so I would never substitute them anyway.

    • InverseMatrix says:

      I took a picture of one myself, where they’re suggesting Fallout New Vegas to substitute for Toy Story 3.

      The thing is that these games are very inappropriate for kids. The head of PR at Rockstar (who made Red Dead Redemption) even said “If you buy our games for your children, you’re a terrible parent.”

    • bullseye says:

      i work at a target, and im the person to make subs there. the only rule is it has to be in the same department. we really just find anything we can to sub out… and sometimes we just have fun with them, like subbing a pregnancy test for condoms.

  9. Xavius says:

    “Sure it’s a good substitute, they both have cowboys. Kids love cowboys.”

  10. cfr says:

    You know we just sub whatever we feel like, depending on the department. The Instock guy probably wanted RDR cheaper for personal reasons anyway.

  11. rocketman0739 says:

    Well, in Red Dead Redemption, you can ACTUALLY be the rootin’est, tootin’est, hootin’est, shootin’est cowboy in the wild, wild West!

  12. Andrew (different Andrew) says:

    The person with the price gun just wanted a discount on RDR, or to do a favor for other gamers.

  13. Lol @ the people who don’t get it or say it’s a win.

    • Skeptik says:

      lol@ people reading failblog who don’t understand that most of the ‘fails’ seen in retail stores were intentionally done by the minimum wage employees as a joke.

      And yes, back when I worked retail we did this type of thing all the time. For example, when the Playboy was mis-tagged in inventory to be shelved under “Children’s Educational Materials” that’s where we put it. Because it was funny. If it would have been tagged in something like ‘Novels’ or ‘Sports’ we’d have just shelved it where it was supposed to go.

  14. doguadreen says:

    hehe well that ……great?

  15. asfasdf says:

    HELL YEAH! screw the toys go and ripp of cowboys arms instead :P

  16. Koalio says:

    its empty case its for stealing kiddies

  17. Nick R says:

    I work at a Target… bastard for not getting a clear shot of the text at the bottom left of the sign, I coulda told you which Target that was from… I don’t think we (Toms River, NJ) had that.

    • Andrew says:

      Supertarget in Omaha, NE… Or officially “Papillion, NE, Sarpy county.”

      I’m 17, I’d rather play RDR, but this is still a fail, not too great for the kiddie ya know…

  18. Jess says:

    That tag is for the staff not the customers genius.

  19. Ace5762 says:

    Well, they both have cowboys in ‘em don’t they??

  20. jason says:

    this is just perfect i’ll have to get my 3 yr old nephew this

    P.S. RDR is awesome

    And parents activists wonder how kids are still playing violent video games.
