You guys can gripe all you want, at least you guys HAVE Targets. I would have loved to have gotten my hands on a $10.00 HISS Tank exclusive, and now I'm thinking I've missed my chance. We will have a Target here in Anchorage roughly in December, so that's a plus, but it's been aggravating for so many years to not be able to get exclusives through any other outlet save e-Bay -- and while I'd like to have a Target exclusive HISS Tank, I'm not spending $20+ & S+H to get something that only would have cost me ten.
Just be happy you guys have at the very least a slim chance of getting something through an outlet that actually exists. |

Geez, sorry Venomfang. Didn't mean to seem ungrateful or anything but that's what I getting at... if Target had their sh*t together and got there on-line store updated with the Joe merchandise then you could order them all the way from Anchorage! Right?!

Yep, I could do that. I was actually tempted to make a post a few days ago asking how anyone was able to find GI Joes on the Target website, because all I ever found was what was mentioned in the OP. Glad I'm not alone.
All I was getting at was that I was saying there's some of us that just don't have access to the things you all do at all. I have a good friend in the Netherlands that would love to get his hands on Joes, but they stopped selling them way back when over there, so he's SOL. At least I have Fred Meyers, TRU, and Wal*Mart. We used to have K*B, but those went out, and I don't think any of the dollar stores here sell anything remotely close to toys at all. XD |

Hey Venomfang, as far as I'm concerned we're on the same team. The team that is pissed off because they can't get their hands on some decent Joes!! Good luck to ya!
By the way I saw an Target Hiss tank on Ebay for $10 bucks I believe but I think shipping was $10 as well... G.I. JOE 25TH ANNIVERSARY COBRA H.I.S.S. W/COBRA DRIVER - eBay (item 140263393998 end time Sep-04-08 19:00:19 PDT)

Wow! Ten bucks for an Exclusive! I don't know how I could have missed that, seeing as I search eBay from time to time with the whole idea of trying to find one of the blue buggers xD Problem is I bet they'll swarm the thing at the last 30 seconds of the bid to prices that are disgusting =P Happened with some Crimson HISSes I had my eyes on a while back, that's for sure. @_@
Thanks man, seeing this thing for $10, even if I don't get it, makes my day. Lol. |

Just be happy you guys have at the very least a slim chance of getting something through an outlet that actually exists. And they'd always be three times the original price, that always steamed me. |

:News Update:
I've been talking to others and have come to the conclusion that this letter and petition would be better suited if it was sent to Hasbro. Cut out the middle man and go right for the throat! What do ya guys think?!
