Target Exclusives are usually pretty easy to get. Half the time they end up on clearance. But there are those (like the Imperial Shuttle) that you get one chance at and they're gone. I'm hoping for one each plus a second HISS, but 25th Joes have been so hard to find as it is. Exclusives may be worse.

As far as there being no real updates to these, well, welcome to what those of us that collect Star Wars have been seeing for the past 12+ years... New vehicles or playsets were quite few and far between unless there was a new movie. But when Hasbro did step up and make an update to a classic vehicle, it was great... Darth Vaders tie fighter, larger more accurate X-Wing.
But since these are all just throwbacks/reissues, it doesn't surprize me at all. I'm just glad the Hiss driver is being carded separately. I'd love a bunch of those, but don't really need a bunch of tanks. If they were to release an updated version of the more 'classic' vehicles, I would love to have it be an updated Hiss with moveable treads, a more roomy interior (basically what that custom Hiss looks like) But I'm willing to bet that if there are more vehicles to come, they will be taken basically from original tooling and only slightly modified (if at all. and from some of the Star Wars releases, no alterations were done to accomodate changes) Jeff |

I'll take all three. I had to sell off my collection awhile back and I'm just now able to start collecting again. Now bring on the 25th Anniversary U.S.S. Flagg.

The store that had these had 6 of them in the back with no room to put them, come clearance time I bought 2 at $20, then a week later they put the other 4 at 90% off. |

I'll get all three, but I really wish the HISS was black. Hopefully they'll release a repaint sometime soon. A small update to each of them would have been nice, but oh well.

Is it possible the patent on the SHARC name ran out and that is why to renamed it the night whatever? Isn't that what happened to the Baroness a few yearts back? Or was that just a myth?

I'm Uber Jazzed about all of these! As far as Target exclusives go, I've seen all of the previous ones mentioned plus some and had at least a week to buy each before they were gone. I'm sure we'll find out approximately when these will be released (They usually seem to have a street date, per se) and most everyone will be able to get their fill
