... What exactly is Target and how does it get to assemble and sell GIJoe? Like "Target exclusive Rattler" and so on and so forth.
I have no real idea on that, so, please... Thank you. |

Target is a retailer that Hasbro is allowing to sell the Cobra Rattler....Only Target can sell it so therefore it is an exclusive....Target is not a maker of toys.

Any retailer who buys direct from Hasbro can get exclusives made for their store. I was a small retailer and was looking to get a 12" exclusive for my store during the height of the 12" Star Wars figures.
The minimum to do so is 10,000 units and the exclusive contract can run 6 months to 1 year. This means after the contract expires, it's free to anyone else or Hasbro to circulate the item in wider release. If it's a new item, new mold, etc, the cost is REALLY high due to them having to make the mold for it. This is one of the key things to getting something made. But that's a whole other topic. So Target is a big store who wants to capitalize on HOT toy lines. simply put. check out Target.com for more info regarding their wares. |

They got them because they asked for something of the likes. Walmart doesn't really like exclusive vehicles as they don't sell. they prefer figures (comic packs, battle packs, etc).

I can attest to that. Well, at least all Targets but the one in Duarte, CA.
