Title: Reprieve for the unreleased Target exclusive packs at ROSS in the states.
Post by: canprime on December 22, 2010, 11:42:25 AM: Over at Joecustoms they have a thread about people finding these at ROSS stores for $6 each.

These were the ones cancelled by Target. They included the Twin Terror Battle Gun w/Range Viper, Desert RAM w/?, Flight Pod w/Elite Viper and Arctic Glider w/?

Hopefully someone like Winners might be able to snag a few, otherwise at least they should be showing up a bit cheaper on Ebay!

Post by: morgardee on December 22, 2010, 11:56:41 AM: Yeah, and I'm dying to get a set, especially that RAM. The RAM is my all time favorite G.I. Joe vehicle since it was the first one I ever owned.

Post by: bandonov on December 22, 2010, 01:37:18 PM: Evilbayers are still charging any where from $80 to $250 for a set. Now thats a mark up from $24 for the set at ROSS.

Here's an ebay auction that has them:

Post by: akpayne on December 22, 2010, 07:14:14 PM: Too bad these didn't see mass release, I would have picked up all 4.
Considering Zellers still has the last round of Target items sitting on their shelves ($29 for a Snake - no thanks) even if they did get released I doubt we would have seen them at retail in Canada.

As mentioned before, if they showed up at winners or Giant Tiger - that would be awesome!

Thanks for searching ebay on that one, didn't even thing to look for "cancelled Target" items

I really want a set, but mostly the Twin Terror Gun and Flight Pod.

However the Wave 3 Alpha situation has given me patience. The early sky high pricing will eventually drop to a more reasonable amount within the next 2 months and then it should be easier to score some for a better price.

Post by: olyeller01 on January 10, 2011, 10:04:50 PM: Ok, I've been out of the loop as many of you know. So, these Joe figures got cancelled by Target but are available at some Ross stores? I will check my Ross, as there's one less than a block from my work...

Correct. They have been found at Ross stores. I had an American hook me up with a set at cost. Sweet.

Whaaaaat?

Man, I pray that someone near ROSS is smart enough to buy a boat load of this stuff and come up to the Canadian Joe Con in 2011. They would make a killing.

Alright, now who can hook me up with one of these?
