The Target exclusive jets are out at Pen Centre Zellers. They have 4 of the Tiger Rat and the Python Conquest $39.99
-
I will have to take a look for these.
It is nice that they showed up at Canadian Retail.
-
Oh crap. That's crazy. Thanks for the tip!
-
That's great news.
Now if the get the Rattler Jet then I'll have all 4. ;D
-
Anyone having any luck finding these?
Realboss, did the store you found them in have them in the action figure aisle or somewhere else? The Zellers around here tend to have stuff scattered all over the place, so they're hard to find.
Thanks!
-
The Z I went to had none of them anywhere I could tell in the toy section. But in the same store the movie toys were on the absolute opposite side of the store as the toy section...near the DVDs. The Joe section had a freshly unpacked case of the wave with Zartan in it! Zellers is kind of a toy time warp sometimes isn't it?
Someone from the states is sending me a couple of Python Conquests next week so I will have one to trade if anyone gets a Joe Conquest or Tiger Rat they wanna trade.

They were with the GIJoe stuff in the toy section right beside the StarWars, all the Joe movie stuff had it's own display.

I am pretty curious to see if these show up at any Zellers a little further in from the States. There are four or five in my city but I haven't worked up the energy to drive for hours across London yet. Maybe tomorrow.
-
Looked in To Zellers today.
And nothing. Will have to look again in a week or two.
-
40 bucks is pretty steep though!

It's not that bad. Look at what you would have to pay if you bought it from Ebay or an on line store, then add the shipping cost and you would be over $40.00 CND easily.
-
Yeah, considering that tiny Night Midget Raven is $50, $40 is a steal for these planes.
-
Heh. I joined just to post this sighting.
I can corroborate this for the Zellers on Sparks Street in Ottawa. Tiger Rats and Python Conquests at $39.99 apiece, on a freestanding display thing near the (pitifully small) LEGO shelves.
-
Zeller's in Cornwall had a butt-load of them! I picked up one of each...
Like Morg said: If I were to buy them off eBay, I'd have paid through the teeth... Probably close to double what I paid for them at Zeddy's.
I'm crossing my fingers that the MOBAT shows up in Zeller's, too. Not to mention the other jets...
-
Sheesh, well I better go lookin'!
-
Zellers at the Seaway mall (welland) didn't have any as of last night.
-
I checked three Z's here in London and found them at my third stop, of course. Highbury Z in London had quite a few of these jets. I grabbed them both, even though someone's sending me some PP X30s later this month, maybe I will be able to return one of the extras with the receipt I got today.
It's been a long time since I was as surprised and excited by a find of Joes at retail.
-
Are these just the Python Patrol Conquest and Tiger Rat versions that are being seen or have the originals been spotted as well?
-
I only saw the 2009 repaints, I've got a feeling the time as passed to ever hope to see the properly colored versions from last year.
-
You never know... maybe, if these sell well enough, Hasbro will clue in and re-issue us some of the "classic" versions.
Also: I'd pick them up while they're still out... Judging by how fast the VAMP and RAM/Trouble-Bubble went, this non-bilingual packaging means they won't last too long.
(EDIT) I just opened mine up and toyed around with them... these are awesome!! I'm so stoked about them. I'll have to pick up another pair, if I see them on sale.
-
I put mine together too, pretty sweet jets. The stickers are way better than what came with the Rattler too, for some reason they had used cheap scotch tape quality decals for the first two jets. Much happier with these repaints. I want to buy more of them but I can't think of where to put them or what to explain to my wife.
-
Bridgeport Plaza Zellers (Kitchener) had a bunch of these out in the action figure aisle. A few down on the bottom shelf and a bunch more up on the overhead. Just watch yourself in there, the place is a mess. Toys spilling all over the place.

So what else is new with that place? They should be looping "Welcome to the Jungle" at the front doors to that location.
I'm guessing it was just the repaints?
-
The small west side Zellers in Guelph has about 8 of each, the larger one doesn't have them yet. If they were the original 2 jets I'd have picked up another rattler because I love that damned plane. But these guys I can pass on.

-
guess that cant really be called target exclusives anymore!
if anyone picks one up, or gets multiples, and doesn't want the wild bill, ill buy/trade for it.
-
Zellers in Niagara Falls didn't have any of them (they didn't even have any ROC stuff!). I also picked up a 7-11 storm shadow cup/straw.
-
Zellers at the Seaway mall (welland) finally got them in - I picked up the tiger force rattler.
Also as i drove past Burger King they had a sign out saying GI joe kids meals had started.
-
Zellers in Stratford has a ton of them in .
-
The ones I went to in Ottawa were stocked.
At first I thought they weren't out... but, every one I went to had them on the top shelf. Took me a few minutes to realize it. They'll never move, up there... kids don't look that high. They need to put them within grabbing height.
-
I saw these at the Masonville Zellers. I was sorely tempted to pick up the Tiger Rat, but as I have sold my soul and purchased every 3/75" movie toy, I just can't justify it right now.
That, and my my fingers are cramped up from applying six sheets of stickers on the PIT....
-
The Zellers in Barrie has these.
-
Found these at the Zellers in Goderich, the whole end ilse was backed with them top to bottom.
-
Hey guys, these are on sale for $29.99 this week. Not my thing (I was already taken to the cleaners for the non-repaints on ebay) but I picked up one of each for the little bro's birthday. Still about 4-5 of each on the shelves at the Centrepoint Mall.
-
Thanks for the sale tip! I need a birthday gift for a 6 year old and this will do nicely!
Can't believe these are showing up here...shades of the SW accessory packs years ago. Every now and then, Zellers pulls one out.
-
Cambridge Mall Zellers has these back down to $29.99 (at least that's what the sign said). I'm tempted to pick up another Tiger Rat.
They had about a half dozen of each plane left.
