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!

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.

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.

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.

I went to a local ROSS and only found the glider but I did see the TRU attack on the pit set for $12.99

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.
