F**k yeah! Ordered two Conquests, which saves a buttload of time, gas, and from competing against those scalpers.

Well, I ordered 2 Rattlers. I can deal with them being about $40 each with shipping and tax.
Now that I've pre-ordered them Target will probably have thousands of them in every store. So all collectors should thank me: Whenever I pre-order something at an increased price, it is ALWAYS plentiful at retail. Always. It's one of the very few effects I have on the Universe. In fact, I bet the same Rattler maybe with a different pilot gets released to mass market retail next year just like the HISS, SHARC, and AWE Striker. Just you wait...these'll get marked down $10 a pop because I pre-ordered them. And you have ME to thank for it. Me, me, me, me, me, me. Collector's what I want to be Spending bucks comes nat'rally Cobra-la-la-la-la Me I could single-handedly end the Joe drought if I would just pre-order everything. I guarantee you if I did that, Hasbro would open the floodgates and retail would be drowning in BATs and Snow Serpents. But alas, my White Trash budget does not permit my status as a pre-ordering army builder, and if I accepted donations it would interfere with the flow of energy and would not have the desired effect. Sigh... But enjoy your Rattlers at least. |

I ordered one of each. I am usually up for the hunt but I figure with so many people now pre-ordering maybe I won't be able to find them in the stores. Of coarse no that I ordered there will be 10 of each in every Target in NY. LOL
If I do see them in stores I will probably pick up 1 each there as well. Just want to make sure I get at least one of each. |

Man. I want to but at the same time I dont. I am already running out of room to display figures...where am I going to put freaking airplanes...
Also with money being tight right now (emergency surgery and vacation all within a month!) I cant justify 80 bucks. If I see them at Target for 20 I might pick em up.

I am going to hunt for these at retail. I am glad Hasbro found a way to shove Wild Weasel in the cockpit, and I hope the turret seat can hold an anniversary figure and still close the canopy. Very glad that the Conquest does not come with preapplied tailfin and sharkmouth stickers, it would suck to buy one with those things placed off center and out of position. After 21 years, I will finally have an original color Conquest X-30. |

ahh, didn't see this thread before the other one. I order one of each and my AAA discount of 10% trumps that $5 coupon by a whole 80 cents, but still. I save the $5.80 and it came to $69 with tax. If the price does go up like anticipated, then they would have been $62 with the tax for me. The $7 difference is the price of gas really. This saves me the trouble of hunting, calling around, and/or asking employees to if they could get them out of the back if they're not on the floor. I've only seen a total of 6 of the exclusives and 3 of those were ones I bought.
Plus, I'm going to be more selective and balanced it out by canceling 2 of my BBTS preorders (wave 5 comic packs and series 2 vehicle SHARC with Deep Six). I can live without those and would rather have the planes.

Man, I've been checking Target.com daily waiting for something like this to come along. Figures it'd happen while I was at work... Well, hopefully even this late after the news broke, I'll have a set in reserve.
Thanks for posting this. |
