I remember someone asked the question of whether the Rattler and Conquest had removable panels like the old one. I didn't open mine but from looking thru the box it appears that the panels can be removed as they are not sealed like the other lines on them. The Conquest's are clear but the camera couldn't get the Rattler's funny angle.

I had my Rattler order pushed back until November. Who wants to bet we never see these filled and they get cancelled when November comes?
I believe all Nov orders will be cancelled. Here's my thinking. These are an exclusive. To the best of my knowledge, these are created in one large run. So the people who got their internet orders filled and what has been shipped to stores pretty much covers that run. My theory is that Target is either checking into having Hasbro run a second order (which I can't image this would happen) or they are going to see what does sell at retail (yea right) and try to recall them back for filling outstanding orders. Neither are impossible, but I would say both are improbable. |

I don't think Hasbro will do a 2nd run. With Star Wars, exclusives tend to come back later in the general line after the exclusives are gone. While I have been surprised with how Hasbro has treated GI Joe differently than Star Wars, I would imagine this will be more likely than a 2nd run. They want as much money as they can get ... and if they can make money off the exclusivity with Target AND in the general line, more power to them.

I had a preorder on Target.com delayed several times last fall. It was for Movie Voyager Optimus Prime. I'd seen him in stores but I had a coupon I used that made it worth waiting for. So, I ordered in July and it ended up getting delayed 3 times for various dates and then a 4th to which it was supposed to ship in Feb of this year. I cancelled when I got the last notification and bought it cheaper on Amazon. I think it was like $13 and change.
I wouldn't put it past Target to keep delaying these orders. |

Hey, Ewok. Where do shop near Pana? Are there Targets in your area? I live an hour south of Newton if you know where that's at. Like an hour and a half south of Effingham.
