Well, just to let you know, the schuman site shows them out of stock for the Austin and McAllen Tx areas as well. Yes, DevilDog said that they were out of stock for his area... But if I'm an employee who's not suppose to sell these, but wants to help someone out, I might sell them one of each too and then just politely suggest that those were the only two available as well.
All I can say is that I got lucky and the scanner in the store also said that they had some in stock and after I purchased them, I went and place them in my truck, went back inside the store and typed in the numbers again and it said that they were out of stock, so I really don't think that they employee was wrong when she said that they were out of stock. Though she was nice cause I was nice.

Okay, so maybe a little off the subject, but for those who have scored a Rattler, how does it differ, if at all, from the original mold? Also, does WW fit in the cockpit?

Yep, you lucked out, DD. However the scenario played out behind the scenes. You've got your jets already, the rest of us can just wait.

As I stated, the Schuman Site shows both known Texas Locations as out of stock. They may still have the stock hidden in some "phantom zone" of the backroom, but the site doesn't see them. DD's case suggests that either his store sold out or he got lucky and found a helpful Target employee. I know from my experience, that a Target employee told me that all she found in the back was a Lone Hiss Tank. I didn't press the issue, I thanked her for her help. But I knew full and well that its casemates were back there as well. |

if these have a set date and i understand it correctly, they can be sold anytime they are in stock weither or not they are in the back or on the shelf. it's widely known now that many stores have differing policies on this however. i realize your talking hypothesticals here and suggesting these are not to be sold yet but that seems to not be the case with these. i'm just trying to make that point clear, not attack you or anyone else. some poor members here were slandered as a result of this misunderstanding last time and i'd hate to see it happen again. i'll drop this as i think i'm only causing myself more grief as a result. i'm sure it will happen again anyway. people here love to trample others at the slighest provocation.

Well, next time don't use my quote as your soapbox.
I'd edit that, but it sounds cool. I understand what you're getting at, but I think we both went about it wrong. The fact of the matter is, however, that in the Ohio case, the items were taken from the person buying them at the counter and the sales person refused to sell them. Quote:
Well, this is Interesting and disturbing to me.
My sister sent me an email, saying that she had picked up the jets and by the time they got to check out, she was told that they werent suppose to be on the shelf, they should be in the back, so a manager told her that they couldnt sell them "at this time", so a sales associate took them to the back... I have NO Idea what to think right now...I guess I'll wait until the first week of sept. and start hitting the store every other day. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 08-17-2008 at 09:55 PM.. |

According to mass speculation, Sept 3. This is the date set by the Target website as being the initial ship date of Preorders taken.

Thank you, I would imagine that they get them in a week or so before that date so that means next week they could be hitting shelfs on a bigger scale

The fact of the matter is, however, that in the Ohio case, the items were taken from the person buying them at the counter and the sales person refused to sell them. has anyone ever questioned target as to why there is such a large variation in how a set date it handled? and better yet, how we address this as customers to target stores that seem to disagree with target policy or is expressly written that each store has the ability to do so? i don't think it was ever resolved last time nad just sort of dropped off after interest in them wained. i've rarely been denied at target but many others have routinely which is unfortunate.

You're welcome TR.
I don't know, most folks get pissed and as a result irrational, both customer and employee. I can't say that I've ever had any real issue with Target, yeah the one woman didn't give the whole truth, but I was fine just knowing they were back there and that they'd be relatively safe until their "official" release. Did anyone notice this in the website description: Quote:

What am I thinking, someone open up your stupid jets already and tell me what I demand to know. |
