Reports are flooding in from all over the country (and all over the internet) that various nationwide Target Department Stores have started stocking G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA ahead of the scheduled street date. I’ve personally seen reports from JoeCustoms.com, JoeSightings, HissTank, and the Coil Club.
Those of you lucky folks with a local Target (of which I’m not…) get up early tomorrow morning and start shopping! Don’t forget to use the Target.com product locator with the DCPI number 087-06-0246 just to see what might be there. Keep in mind, this is NOT a “be all end all” way to do it, but it might give you a good place to start.

HissTank has posted some new boxed images of upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA vehicles. We’ve seen most of this before in pre-production form, but a lot of the figures were swapped around and no one really knew their proper names. Well, now we know. Pictured below is:
- Snarler Cycle w/ Beachhead and Rollbar (the urban deco repainted Airborne)
- Sky Sweeper w/ Air Raid (dark blue repaint of Resolute Duke w/ Jet Pack)
- Mantis Attack Craft w/ Aqua Viper Officer (black and red Lamprey repaint w/ removable helmet)
Also pictured is the four figure Target exclusive “Rescue Mission” set. Check out the original thread here, and the images mirrored below.
no images were found
I’ve also added all of the above images to the Rise of COBRA Toy SuperPage in their appropriate places.

The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has updated their Convention website, GIJoeCon.com with the box art for the upcoming Crimson Strike Team Convention set as well as a group shot. Click here to check out the update.
Most important item to note is that a crimson repaint of the RHINO helicopter is featured heavily on the box art which might indicate that it serves as the attendee exclusive this year.
Thanks to cmdrinchief of the Coil Club and JoeBattleLines for the information.
