Find it at a Target store (http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/find-target-store.html?asin=B0016ALHD2)

They should be $20.

24.99 + 1.50 tax = $26.49 (per jet)

Conquest + Rattler = $52.98

$24.99?!?! Really? Wow, up til just now, I was under the delusion that these were $20. I don't think I processed any of the related price info I'm sure I've read. Sorry for the mis-info Vengecore.

Hey Y'all,

I went to my local Target (hwy 41 in Acworth, between the 2 Wal-Marts) this morning because the website said that Rattlers and Conquest were in stock.

Well, they did not have those, but they had a veritable ton of new figures. Flash/Bludd/Bats/BBQ/Snow Serpents/ all of the new 2packs/ all of the regular vehicles.

As well as a few Red Hulk Marvel Legends ($14.99 wtf?).

They were all still there when I left to go back to work, so happy hunting (I can't bring myself to buy anymore Joes until some newer stuff comes out, and I did not want to be greedy).

Best,

verified there is one rattler, probably also a conquest in the stckroom at moreland Target as of 1 hr ago. I got the set in case by asking for someone to check the back. at first he brought just the rattler out, and I had it in hand. he went back to check for the conquest, and just brought a case out. so I gave the other rattler back. good luck! they're out there, just ask!

1. Target Hwy92 going towards Alpharetta = 4 cases.
2. Target Buckhead = 1 case.
3. Target Johnson Ferry & Roswell Rd. = 4 cases.
4. Target near Perimeter mall = 1 or 2 cases.

My wife is picking me up a Rattler today! She is so awesome. She knew I wanted it and went by to try and get it after I told her how Tracker and Mean Machine were talking about it being all over the place in the surrounding targets and she wanted to surprise me. when she got there she said she found both planes and didn't know for sure which one was right so she called to be sure she got the right one!
I'm excited and it means a lot that she thought enough about it to go and get it for me, when she really didn't have to.
:)

and if I'm not mistaken she's getting it from the Gainesville target and there are no more in the stockroom or on the shelf but there is a still a conquest there for anyone that wants it.

got the conquest and rattler at the target in douglasville today at 4. they had two more sets there on the shelf. guess im going to leave these in the box for now since i already have the orginal versions already sitting on my shelf. but knowing myself that probably wont be long. and good gravy what happened this weekend. i come home from work on friday and gas is like 3.60 i go to work this morning and half the QT's are out of gas and the ones that do, its at 4.09 i guess thats what i get for not leaving my house and watching football all weekend.

that's what you get for trying to watch the Dawgs choke away their season before October and the "real" SEC teams on their schedule ;)

just wanted to update everyone.
my wife actually got the Rattler from the FB Target and left the Conquest there.

a friend of mine bought the Rattler and Conquest he found at the Gainesville Target but he said the boxes were in rough shape. the planes inside are okay though and the filecard side of the box wasn't crushed. Plus he opens all his stuff so it wasn't that big of a deal.

just wanted to let everyone know.

Thanks man. Actually the cool part is, i passed on the Conquest (did get the rattler though) and because of some cool info from all of you guys a buddy of mine was able to snag the Rattler and Conquest from another store.

oh and I found Spirit and a Crimson Guard on the white cards today at Cornelia walmart. Plus they had all the wave 1 vehicles minus the Hiss tank (though Kmart across the street has a Hiss tank and no other vehicles) and both dvd packs times 2 or 3.

Might not see these till first week or so of October, considering how slow Target's toy aisle stuff has moved lately (and upping the price to $14.99 won't help. at all.).

Gotta ask though, why two Spiral's? Other than it's been something like 10+ years since there's been a Spiral figure.

It may be then before they show up, but it's crazy to me how I read about them being in Florida all over the place and yet they don't show up here yet. Just seems weird I guess. And while Target's toy aisle stuff is moving slow it seems they are at least not having problems moving Conquests and Rattlers. :)

as for why two Spirals, it's because my buddy wants the whole set (minus yellow suit Wolverine) and I only want Spiral. So that is why i am looking for two of her. She looks to be an awesome figure and I sure don't need another wolverine or black suit Spidey. Spiral's the only one I'm interested in.

09-21-2008, 05:15 PM
good point. i don't get that one about Florida either. it's like target & other stores give it a priority over the rest of the southeast heh.

the smaller vehicle sets are ones i'm thinking won't show up for a while anywhere, b/c there's still so much taking up their space heh. but then again they put out stuff like the comic packs all the time when it looks like there's no room on pegs for them.

Yeah I'm thinking we're still several weeks out from seeing the wave 2 vehicles and probably wave 10 as well. The wave 1 vehicles are pretty much everywhere now and i'm kinda thinking since the wave 1 dvd packs are too we may not find the new ones of those for a while either.

But something that might be a plus is that once they do start hitting they should hang around for a while. bad part is I think we are going to be overloaded with new stuff once it rolls out. October should be a big month as far as new Joes go.

Ok, I know this has been brought up somewhere before, but what are the chances that wave 1 Flint on the revised white card will show up in retail for any amount of time, and when might that happen? I have an MOC but always wanted a loose version. I've seen Flash, Bludd, and others, but not Flint. He's certainly no army-builder but people have been scalping him like crazy.

Hey Gang!!! TRU @ Town Center (BArret Pkwy) has tons of new box sets (Crimson Guard & Green Shirts), as well as a bunch of SNow Serpents, BATS, etc. No vehicles, but plenty of fig's and 2 packs and such.
I only picked up 1 set of green shirts, so there was at least 5 more of those when I left. Lots more of the CG's.
I guess this whole gas thing is even hurting the scalper hordes?

You guys up in Northern GA have it bad with gas. I heard a rumor about a shortage last week here but nothing happened. I do live in a small town but I would think Atlanta would take priority and any problem you have would be about the same here.

As far as Joes go it is dry around here. No wave 10 and no wave 2 vehicles. My best hope for the TRU 3-packs is ToysRUs.com since I don't have one near me. I would like to see wave 10 soon but the rest I can wait on since I won't have the money for them until the 10th. October will probably be a better month for Joes with everything that is scheduled to hit retail and what has already started coming out on the west coast.

I'm hoping I can get one then since you guys are finding them. apparently I've been coming across that revision case a lot and have been finding pretty much everybody else that comes in the case with him. Somebody is always beating me to that one Snake eyes though, which is the only one I really want (already got commando SE).

So to answer your question: I'm not sure. i kinda hate to ask you to do it in case I find one myself but it would sure suck to say don't worry about it and then not be able to find one on my own. so it's up to you.

I found one Awe Striker at the Perimeter Target, I left it there. I really want the Fang set. I have been to the Norcross Target and asked an employee to check the warehouse in which he returned with more wave 1 vehicles. The same goes for the States bridge/Medlock Target. the guy returned with a Vamp.
:(
I understand they wont put the new sets out until they sell wave 1, but i bought wave 1 and i deserve new vehicles!

The milledgeville / eatonton wal-marts are filled with all the revisions except for the se w/ timber. I did finally find a snow job in eatonton, but i didn't pick it up. He looked a little bland. There are still no new vehicles. If anybody in mid ga sees anything please let me know and i will do the same. Also the wal-mart in eatonton had a bat and snow serpent, but the bat has a bent card and bad paint apps.

Perimeter Wal-mart has a SE w/timber and Snow Job plus many more revisions. No vehicles. For TFs they had Sentinel Prime, Swoop and EG Bumblebee, No Wave 2 universe :/

The Senior Officer sets may be a pain in the ass to find right now. I was one of the lucky ones to get an order in, which arrived today, but ToysRUs.com may be the best bet right now. At least I don't have to drive 100 miles (one way I might add) just to get them.

So still no sightings of wave 10? Can't say I'm very surprised but it seems someone would have found some by now. On top of that we now have to hunt for wave 6 comic packs. These past two months have been loaded with releases that don't seem to be hitting GA retail very often, although some like the DVD sets haven't even hit retail stores anyway.

If you couldn't guess by my responses above I haven't seen anything in my area, granted my Wal-Mart (only store in town worth anything) only has the singles now. At least I saw 2x Transformers Universe Tread Bolt which I would have bought if I didn't get him for a great price from HTS Friday (still waiting on that haul to arrive with a lot of Transformers and G.I. Joe goodness).

All I can found around here are a few wave 1 vehicles, revision cases and the first two dvd packs. the exception to that is the sudden, MASSIVE stocking of wave 5 CPs. I've seen more of those in the last two weeks than at any point previously. They seem to be everywhere but still no sightings of the black headed Destro. Granted I'm not really trying to get it but if I were to find it I probably wouldn't pass it up.

I agree Godzilla, HTS is the way to go when you can get free shipping AND the discount. The only issue i have is when you get a figure with a crappy paint application. I just ordered the new sharc, firebat, wave 10, dvd packs all for 20% off and free shipping. Only thing I'm going to look for is a clear wraith after seeing the face is painted. I'm waiting for the desert awe and the fang/claw to be on HTS at the same time to make my next order. I tried getting the SRO from TRU but had to get to work and missed out. I'm going to be patient on those as we'll be swimming in them in no time. I've totally lost patience visiting locations. The target right by my house gets nothing. They haven't received a new case of comic packs or singles in months. They did get the new exclusive vehicles but that's it. Meanwhile the out of the way buckhead target gets regular shipments.

Annoyingly enough, you have to pretty much check throughout the day, but especially around noon/late morning it seems.

Also, with the waves of older vehicle sets sitting around, it seems like Target/TRU are the best options for finding the newer vehicle sets.

I ordered 1 sharc, 1 firebat and 1 of each new dvd pack. I also got my 2 extreme conditon arctic packs from bbts.

I decided to skip retail for most of wave 10 and just ordered the set from SmallJoes.com with the clear Wraith. I hate paying more than retail but I wanted that clear Wraith and with no sign of wave 10 in GA it may be hard to find. Now all I need is the regular Wraith, an extra Para-Viper, an extra Bazooka Trooper, and wave 6 comic packs. I may get the internet 7-packs later if I have any money left.

I bought the Union Jack

They had a couple Star Wars figures a buddy of mine got, including the Cade Skywalker/Sith chick (had 2 of those, he got 1).
They also had 2 or 3 conquests and a rattler.
