You think Target...

placed the old planes in the backroom in order to sell the new ones?

I used to see the old planes chilling and nobody was buying them. Then comes the new ones, they get the endcap treatment, the old ones magically disappear and they still ain't selling.

No, they wont put out new product till the old product is gone, why did you miss out or still need a few of the rattlers/conquests?

There has been all kinds of speculation regarding that and I've been told that the SKU numbers (whatever those are) are the same between the two sets of planes. I would have thought that Target would have clearanced the first Rattler and Conquest planes, much like they did the Ultimate Battle Pack, but I also heard that because of those SKU numbers, it might be a little tricky for them.

Targets around here still have the old product both in the aisle and on the endcap.

I held off on the Conquest but I know of a couple of places that have the old planes...I just don't want to drive that far right now.

My store put the two Conquests they had left on an endcap and put the new jets on the shelf with the rest of the Joe stuff.

All I see now is the new planes. The old ones are gone.

My Target had some old jets...took them off the shelf and replaced them with new jets. The next week brought the old jets back out and now my Target has a mix of old and new. Last I checked there were about 6 of the old style and 4 of the new. They ain't flyin' off the shelf...no pun intended.

Like we didn't see that one coming.

Oh and my targets have a mix of the old and new as well.

Around the Capital District here in NY, I have seen a few Targets with both new and old mixed together on the shelves. The other Targets only have the new ones out.
