Crowds target toy sale

IT was a queue reminiscent of a food-stamp line in the 1930s.

Police received no extra calls about the unusual influx of people into the Doveton Street footpath, but that didn't stop dozens of motorists slowing down for a sticky-beak.

A Target spokeswoman said the sales were a big success.

"We're very pleased with customer feedback and the response to the sales so far," she said.
