From Target? Then yeah, I'd say you have every right to return it to Target.

We're not talking stock. We're talking a Lego set. If you (or anyone else)
buys a Lego set from Vendor X (for any price) I'd say it would be dishonest
to return it to Vendor Y (for any price). Why should Y have to expend the
resources and labor to process a return for a product they never sold?
Do you think otherwise?

No, and I would hope you'd know why.
If you find 10 copies of a set at Target.com for 50% off would it be right
or wrong for you to "return" them to a local K-Mart for full price? That
might be sweet, but in my book that would be wrong.
