Today I was at home and tried every Target store in San Antonio, TX. I called all the stores and no luck! So I decided, well, I will try the next closest Target which was 36 miles away. I looked on Target.com and it said "Limited Avaliability" and not "Out of Stock". I thought for sure it can not be right. So I called that Target store and sure enough they had both Conquest and Rattler in stock! The guy sounded ghetto on the phone and I told him to hold it up front at customer service desk for me. He said okay and I drove 36 miles to that Target store! I was not sure that this "ghetto" employee would even save them for me. After all, he commented on the phone about the Rattler jet that it looks "BADASS". After a 36 mile drive, I got there and walked into the Target, as i walked in, i could already see the two HUGE boxes at the customer service counter! I felt like a kid at Christmas! I drove a total of 72 miles today but got both the Conquest and Rattler at $24.99 each retail price! So it got me thinking, how far would you drive or go?

I live in long island and the east coast always gets everything two weeks after the west coast. Dident think i would see any planes for a while so it was a surprise to see them on the shelf just sitting there. I dont drive to far as on long island its about 5 miles till the next target then another 5 miles and so on. Next day i stopped at another target and bingo i picked up my second set of planes. I think these will be flooded everywere real soon.

I've got about a 40 mile or an hour (whichever way you want to look at it) drive (each way) to get any Joe stuff.

wow! 40 miles just to get to Joe stuff! there is a 2 Targets and 3 Walmarts within 10 miles of me. I agree with the earlier reply that i am sure the Rattler and Conquest will soon flood the shelves. I hope so, i would like to get a second set to open!

I drove about half an hour away from my house just to get a Sigma 6 Iron Hammer for the Hiss tank contest.
Yesterday, the gas stations around here went crazy because of hurricane Ike. We have gas stations that are out of gas and other stations that jumped anywhere from 10 cents to over a dollar in price just yesterday evening. I was at half a tank of gas when I got home and my fiancee informed me of a salvage place with vintage mail away Joes. The place was halfway back towards my job I just came from. (The job is 30 minutes away) Yeah, I didn't think about gas till I was half way there. Gas crisis? Who cares, I need Joes! |

Does picking up Joes on my drive from Minneapolis to Phoenix (Via Wichita Kansas and San Antonio Texas) count?
