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...

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.
