I spend all day on the phone selling one of three products and there are still questions that I just flat out can't answer, and I AM the type that researches and tries to know everything about everything about my products. So unless the shizzle hits the fan after September 3rd, then it might be time to make sure we got our refills on the Xanax. Until then, you're should consider yourself lucky to score before the game even starts...

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. |

I didnt realize that they werent out yet..
I asked a friend who works there about the whole online thing, as far as pre-orders, release date etc. online only, for pre-orders, but should be available in store once they are offically released.... so I guess we'll have to wait.. |

I'm not worried about any of this anymore. The rattler will show up in stores just like the exclusive AWE, HISS and SHARC did. Besides, the rattler's like the BMF of GI Joe. Everyone wanted one before it was released, everyone rushed like hell to get one at Midnight Madness and the next morning but most stores didn't even have them yet--and so it seemed like these were going to be incredibly elusive, but then they started showing up everywhere and you can still get them, and the people who thought they were going to cash in big time on ebay cann't get rid of them because you can walk into any Wal-mart, TRU or Target and buy w/out the cost of shipping. Besides, Target Corp isn't stupid, they research and know what sells and what people want. When pre-orders sell out in a week, you can bet your muffin top someone has noticed and they'll be requesting more and stocking retail--that's the nature of the biz.

Also...I really have to side with Darth Jay on this. Freaking out about gettin one--and I REALLY want one (never had one, thought about buyin a vintage one on screwbay, was ecstatic after seein one at sdcc, hope they do a WHALE)--isn't going to do anything but raise stress levels and create pandemonium. It's like speculating on the future price of oil--it makes matters worse. It's like Y2K or when a hurricane hits the gulf and grocery stores sell out of freakin milk and bread (WTF?) Paranoia sets in. People are gonna go ape-shit, and scalpers are gonna see it and a bell in their heads is gonna go ka-ching! and then, yeah, you won't be able to get one. Lets be reasonable here. Let nature take it scourse and deliver the finest craft the Joe world has ever seen.

Also, to everybody who freaked out about not being able to get the Target Night Spector/Hiss/Awe Striker...Hasbro is re-releasing all 3 (albeit with different color schemes) to everybody.
So I'm guessing we won't have to wait too long to see the Rattler and Conquest again. |

I wonder if they'd do a black version of the rattler with a nice big red cobra on the side--that would be an interesting variation.
