I checked my Target on the way home from work this a.m. Nothing. Not surprised. I'll just keep checking.
I hesitate to ask, but I may call on fellow tankers if I can't find these for some reason. I don't want to add to the panic, because I think it's still early, and the fact that I haven't seen these on ebay makes me less worried. BTW, what search terms are you using on evilbay? I type in "gi joe target rattler". I've come up with nothing yet. I just want 2 Rattlers -- one for my office to open and display and one for home to keep MIB. I'm not usually a MIB collector, but I think the rattler is so cool and never had one as a kid. I'll settle for one, though. Anywho. . . I'm gonna keep lookin'.

Here's another possibility,
Exclusives, as I have seen before, are a way for a manufacturer to test the waters on how well things sell and how profitable a line might be. Now this is just a theory but lets take the first Target Exclusive HISS tank and AWE, the HISS was brought back out (be it a different color scheme) and the AWE is also coming back out in a different color scheme. SO Rattler and Conquest come out and are in limited supply, we all go nuts buying them up and they are totally scarce for months and we end up having a ton them re-shipped and boxed as a regular line just like some of what we have already seen. Even the 3 3/4" chacaters are being re-released to some extents in this manner. So here's to wishful thinking! |

mine are supposed to ship today...so either way I'll get an email by late tonight stating either "your order has shipped" or "we're sorry, your order has been delayed again" so I'm just waiting.

I feel the same way. While I would welcome a Phyton Conquest, I would rather have them in their original colors.

How is Target determining the order of shipping these? Do the ones that have them or are being shipped right now have 2-day or fast shipping or did they just order them within the first 24 hours or something like that?
