Was anyone able to catch the numbers for both celebration pieces and both Bespin Luke's? Only ones I can't make out or deduce

Postby **jambes** » Sat Mar 12, 2016 6:16 pm

So if anyone has a complete set of ALL Star Wars Exclusives to date, could you help me narrow down which UPC is which? I am trying to see if any of these new ones are either in our system yet, or it has a separate WIC at the time being. Thanks!!
We had the wave of four only, right? Plus the Riot Trooper, which has a separate WIC not associated to these.

They'd better right some wrongs and make an exclusive Chewbacca with medal.

1. Snowtrooper
2. Imperial Guard
3. boba Fett
4. Yoda

The riot trooper ups isn't listed on the list. Thanks for checking Jambes, hope these will be easier to find then previous. Need all 4 in the collection.

Thank you Mike! Yeah the Trooper was actually linked into the TFA wave, not the exclusive wave.

So I am guessing the unaccounted for UPCs are for the new wave. Gonna stalk and see what I can find for you all!

I will help you on the Marvel ones later on if no one answers your post

Why does Walgreen's continue to get exclusives when they can't even keep them in steady stock like Hot Topic ? I guess this goes for Target and Walmart as well. Yeah, I'm aware it isn't fair since there are more of each of those stores compared to Hot Topics, but they handle exclusives so poorly. The last wave of Marvel ones my area saw was over a month ago and even longer for the last wave of Star Wars.

My friend is a Walgreen's employee and says every Thursday their shipment comes in there are people already camping out in the Toy aisle hoping they get some in that day. Crazy people. Looks like I'll resort to eBay again since they'll probably end up at roughly the same cost per pop through Popcultcha.

They REALLY need to make a Mace Windu pop already...the AT-AT driver? lol

Happy for the Luke's though!

AT-AT if it is just like the movie is a repaint of the Tie Pilot so it was just an easy one to throw in. Wish they would have done an AT-AT commander to go with it

The warehouse that services my store had ~220 pieces total to supply a WHOLE region of stores. Needless to say, we never even got in a single one. The ball was definitely dropped somewhere, so I am really hoping that Walgreens actually purchased enough this time to learn from the last disaster.

I couldn't make out the numbers on those either. It's bugging me to not know. To me it looks like the two Lukes are 93 and 94, and it sure looks like the Luke and Han are 90 and 91, which would be weird because those are the numbers of the Smuggler's Bounty Exclusive Tie Fighter Pilot Elite and Chrome Captain Phasma.

92 - AT-AT Driver
93 - ?
94 - ?
95 - Ree Yees
96 - Kit Fisto
97 - Plo Koon
98 - Blue Senate Guard
99 - Cantina Box Smuggler's Bounty Exclusive that I won't say just in case anybody doesn't want spoilers
100 - Target Exclusive FN-2187

69, 70, and 71 are still unaccounted for.

Maybe the Luke and Han are 70 and 71 and the second Cantina Box Smugger's Bounty Exclusive will be 69.

He's too important a character to not have a pop at this point, but I guess we're also still waiting on Clone Wars versions of Anakin and Obi Wan as well... we can only hope!

I really want the ATAT Driver and Plo Koon! The detail on them is insane.

Well, guess its time to stomp into every Walgreens, beating my chest waving my phone around angrily with the inventory tracker pulled up, grunting.

Do we know a release date yet?? Not that it matters, will probably have to buy off ebay since we don't have Walgreens in Canada.

I may have to retract my earlier statement.

Walgreens have release dates? Didn't know that since 3/4 of the Walgreens never get their exclusives. :-s

Probably not for another month, FN-2187 was announced a while ago, and we haven't seen him yet. Might be different with Walgreens lol

Postby **DuoofDeath1** » Mon Mar 14, 2016 2:28 pm

Super excited for these. I've been waiting and begging for prequel jedi. Now i need Mace Windu, anakin, and ahsoka!

Postby **treswright** » Mon Mar 14, 2016 3:06 pm

Man, much as I would love to quit collecting SW and actually save some money for a change, Funko is making that impossible. Darned you Funko! (shakes fist in general direction of Funko headquarters) I am almost afraid to see what kind of irresistible SW exclusives come out for the cons this year. I wish Pops were tax deductible lol

Postby **wraithkelso** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 4:00 am

ok so I just thought about something, do you guys think it is possible that the new Star Wars Walgreens exclusives will be released on Star Wars Day (May 4th)?

Postby **Indy Viper** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 2:20 pm

It's definitely possible. Might not be that exact day, but maybe that time frame roughly.

Postby **wraithkelso** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 3:47 pm

I hope it is a hard release day, if it is it gives us a little bit more of a chance to actually get them.

Postby **Libertyroxx** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 6:27 pm

Super excited for the new Star Wars pops! But living in NYC it means Walgreens either never has them or due to density/small amount of stores per people they will be unfindable. :/
