You are right! The Target exclusive are:

Night Specter (SHARC) with Grand Slam
(http://http://www.hasbro.com/common/images/news/gijoe//Night-165.jpg)
AWE Striker with Crankcase
(http://http://www.hasbro.com/common/images/news/gijoe//AWE-165.jpg)
Now I can say it... Damn you Target!!! :wink:
-
I'm actually glad these don't have vintage-style packaging...saves me the cash and time of trying to get them. But they do look pretty awesome (and the AWE Striker w/Crankcase was one of my few Joes as a kid)
-
I am glad they don't vintage packaging so I can open them.
-
I wuv you Trubble Bubble.

hahahah...
I can't wait to pick up a Trouble Bubble, it was one of my fav vehicles as a kid.
-
I might have to get a RAM or two, too. It's a cool and iconic small vehicle.
-
I'm very excited about these vehicles as well.
I just received the Target vehicles last night and it's a whole new level of giddiness. It's a dimension of G.I. Joe that I totally underestimated until having these in hand.
Ahhh.....there are many epic battles to come in our household!

A friend in the US.

That armadillo tank looks way to small. I never had the origianal, is it supposed to be that small?

yes, it's a tiny vehicle
-
All the vehicles look pretty much their original version in color, shape and size!
-
Nice stuff - just ordered a set from Bigbadtoystore
I gotta say though, the target hiss is pretty sweet, and the camo on the trooper is awesome. I say we all call target as a group and tell them we need them to send us a container full :D

Chief (AKA Dan) from JC is coming to the Joe Meet in April. He will stop at every Target on his way to buy whatever he will find (I mean GI Joe 25th Target exclusive...) to resell it at the meet. So this is one more reason to go to the meet!

Damn you martin!!! lol, I'd be at the meet 110% if i could...but unfortunately its always during exam period. I have an exam on the 18th and the 21st so no chance I can head to the meet on the 19th. Maybe i'll ask one of you montreal boys to grab me something.
-
What's the actual retail price of these things anyway?
Found it - 9.99$ each in stores - damn the scalpers are making a fortune on these
-
Are there 3 different HISS? The blue one (Target exclusive) and the black one (made by Hasbro). But the latter has 2 different gun turrets?
The regular one that we can see on Hasbro website:

Other version (image took from generalsjoes.com)?

See: http://www.generalsjoes.com/images/ToyFair_08/index.htm (http://http://www.generalsjoes.com/images/ToyFair_08/index.htm)
Anybody has more info on this?
-
That looks like the Hiss Tank from Joe Vs Cobra and not the original Hiss Tank.
Looks like they've made a few changes as well, like the wind shield is now clear.

So which one are we getting this summer? I was assuming it was the HISS like the V1, but now I'm confused... Are we getting both black versions?
-
Here is a pic from Hisstank.com with the V1 Hiss in box:

So, there are 3 versions of it.

I am pretty sure only black v1 H.I.S.S. will be released this summer. I have not heard of two black H.I.S.S. versions being released.

You are probably right. I also got that answer:
It was to show the packaging more than anything else. Hasbro later said we were not getting the DTC (as of yet) and it was just a mock-up. The regular V1 is the only other one we're getting for now.
Thanks!

These are mass releases, not exclusives.
If they aren't released in Canada, they may as well be exclusives :-

And now the Firebat and the SHARC...
Firebat: Very cool!!!
