I think Pedro is right. Some salesman at Hasbro convinced some buyer at Target that they could sell a million of these exclusive "brand new" blasters. And Hasbro is laughing all the way to the bank.

Frankly, I don't even know what all this nonsense about "release dates" means anymore. These days, some blasters just show up with little or no prior announcement. Some are hyped for months and months before actually being released. Others show up in stores in Singapore WAY before their "official" release date. So does it really mean anything anymore ? I think they're just playing with us, gents. Creating hype to increase sales. I think Hitchcock called it a "MacGuffin".
