HISS Tank.com boards member kennywr22 has passed along information regarding the R.H.I.N.O. with Rampage for the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra toyline. When first revealed, fans were wondering what pricepoint it would be sold at, since it’s definitely bigger than the bravo vehicles, an smaller than the echo vehicles.
It turns out that this vehicle will be exclusive to Target stores! This explains why it does not fit into existing size classes set for the movie line. If anything it is between bravo and echo size classes. More exclusives will be coming to Target, and in July you can enter a G.I. Joe game at target.com.
In addition, TakaraTomy will be bringing over the R.H.I.N.O. w/Rampage to Japan, possibly in limited quantities with a “USA Edition” sticker on the box.
UPDATE: Kennywr22 has posted pricing details for this set; it will retail for $49.99.

Ok so i was looking at our new RED magazine at work( its a magazine all about target and whats happening at the moment. Comes out once a month) Anyways while reading through i come to a page that has a paragraph talking about Gi joe the movie and all the exclusives target will have such as the rhino with figure! They show a nice picture of it with the figure next to it. They don't mention any of the other exclusives except it.Just that there will be others, which we know of already. They also mention a game that you can enter at target.com coming in july. I will try to take a picture with my phone tomorrow and get it online if you all are intested. Not sure if this was known before or not, so i thought i'd let you all know. Pretty cool looking vehicle.
Ok so i did some checking in the system today and found more info on the Rhino. The price is .... are you ready for this... $49.99! I will still be getting one but that is alot of cash for these times.

Thanks for the info Kenny we knew it was coming out overseas, but nobody knew for sure it was coming out in the U.S. and now we have a confirmation it is and it is a Target exclusive.
Let us know if it looks the same as the pic Ninjapleazee posted from the Japan toy show.
DaViper says
It would be pretty cool if we get the one shown in japan.
