I just received the Target vehicles last night and it's a whole new level of giddiness.
Where did you get them?

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

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.
