I went on Sunday morning to the Target near me with (what I was told is the right code number for the 2 jet planes) and had them enter the number. First I had an employee on the floor enter it into there hand held machine and she said there were none in stock. I then went to customer service and had them enter the number and also check the surrounding Target stores in the area and she said no stores around us had anything in stock. THIS IS A FREAKING TARGET EXCLUSIVE?!!?!!? How the heck can they not have any in any stores for a whole county??!!??!!??
I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. The planes are far too popular of a toy to have been made into an exclusive. Also Sunday morning a friend of mine hit up 2 targets and I hit up 5 targets and found not a damn thing.I think this whole Target stuff is FUBAR and I hope that Hasbro stops giving them damned exclusives.

Seconded. I think it's totally lame that vehicles that were common to the Joe universe are absolutely uncommon in our own. What's the deal, that they can't produce enough of these toys to be made available for all Joe retailers? Exclusives, on their own merit, frustrate me.

while it may be true they will re-release these mass market like they did with the HISS and will be doing with the Sharc and Awe Striker, I think there is too great a chance we'll get some gawd-awful paint scheme. I want a blue Rattler. If I wait for a mass release and get some bubblegum acid trip python patrol Rattler then I'll feel very cheated. Let's hope for some sanity at the repaint division of Big H. Better yet, let's just hope we can all get this release of the jets and be done with it. Good luck everyone!

I'm not defending Target, but they were the first store to take the chance on vehicles for us. They are also offering the Battle in a Box later down the line. I have a feeling Target has all the vehicle exclusives because their the only company that would take a chance on vehicles in general while all the retailers play the "wait and see" game. So we atleast owe Target that much.

I love Target!!! Here in Michigan, they have every retailer beat on five different aspects not including three superior advantages!

Bridges have been burned at one Target :P
Pissed off an associate who gave me the "everything is stocked that is available" line by going to the manager and asking again (where the guy reiterated over the radio that it was a collector's item), who grabbed me one of the two from the back. Sigh. So now I guess I have to keep looking for the Rattler, not planning to make a special trip out to that store again. Coincidentally, this was the first store in the area to get the first wave of exclusives too. That trip was less painful. Might have something to do with showing up at 8am. The online stock checkers do work, however. Last edited by botticus; 09-08-2008 at 08:33 AM.. |

This is stupid. I used that "find it at target" on their site and found a store about 100miles from me that has both the Conquest and Rattler. I call, they say that they are "not set yet" so they can't sell them. They would not say what day there were going to be "set" but to just try back in a day or two. Right. Yeah, 100 miles is far, but it's a road trip w/ my wife and maybe some fun, but they have to be &#@%s about it. NOT a good business plan - you want to buy something? No. You can't. Go away.
Sorry for the rant.

Found mine today with little effort. Too bad the store only ordered one box.

it was a store in Cincinnati. I was thinking about the Cleveland store that showed up on the "find it" system, but it's just that little bit too far when I figure in the gas.
I really don't get why there are no hits in the Columbus area. Maybe in a few days something will trickle in here. I can wait I guess.
