I don't know. I'm just glad I looked down as I was leaving the aisle. I nearly missed them.

found the last two at my local walgreens. the webiste said in stock the day before i went but there were none on the shelves. Went again, a day later, there were only two left (yoda and boba fett). after i went it said not in stock, so i'm assuming the webiste is pretty accurate. They just came in stock at the other two local ones in south texas. There's not a lot of competition for these where i live so hopefully i'll have them all by tomorrow.

The store i found Imperial Guard didnt have any in stock yesterday. Checked the website this morning and went after work and they had all but Yoda. It clearly depends in which City you are looking for. Tucson doesnt seem to have many funatiks and the demand for Pops is low, making it easier for me to acquire the ones I am looking for...good luck everyone, Force Friday is upon ourselves and these might become more available and easier to attain

Hmm looks like the website is accurate the least. You just got to search for them buggers. I found all but Yoda at my local walgreens in north texas. But they were hidden over by the stuff animals!

Found a Boba Fett, Snow Trooper and Yoda (with a good box) today at the one down the street from me finally. Only the Imperial Guard left!

Probably not the best picture, but here's a pic of Yoda in his glowy goodness:

Funny story - when I took this, we were having one of our worst thunderstorms of the monsoon season, and I forgot my auto flash was on. I scared the hell out of myself when the flash went off in my pitch black living room. lol

Wasn't there a thread here when the Marvel exclusives were new that dealt with helping others? I ordered two cases (The 16 count at Romeoville, IL) and after an error, now have both.

Yeah. This Walgreens is in a northeastern suburb of Atlanta (Buford). Was actually making a delivery there and I always go down the toy aisle on EVERY Walgreens now! Surprised to see them, actually. My local two stores don't have them yet bi don't collect SW (and payday is Friday anyway) so they were left behind.

Sorry for blurry pics, tried to be quick!
Tried to do it in galleries as there is so many!! Let me know of the links don't work, it was my first time using the imgur app. Took me two hours go do off my phone, so don't expect this daily!
As always, these are of midnight-ish last night and don't reflect any sales made today.

Also please do me a favor, and use the Walgreens.com search to compare to my listings. I want to know how accurate the website is, and see if I can leave feedback for it somewhere.

this has been my experience as well. i’ve gone to several stores that are either "in stock" online, listed as in stock in ashley’s photos, or sometimes both. nothing’s out on the shelves and none of the employees have any idea what i’m talking about. and when they check for an unopened case, they can’t find anything.

I have a Yoda Spirit, Snowtrooper, and Boba Fett Prototype I picked up from Walgreens earlier today. Both have damaged boxes. I am willing to help someone out and sell at cost + shipping. I paid $10.33 for each. I can do $16 including shipping. Send me a PM if you want them. Willing to help some Funatics out as many have been a great help for me!

Let me know!

If your store shows in-stock and the employee can't locate them, wait until September 4th (I thought it was the 11th but apparently I was wrong)
This is the date of our Toy Reset and they should be added into the planogram, I will verify Friday.
Then they should all come out of the "I don't know where this goes, so lets hide it in the stockroom" box where these kinds of things are likely to end up.

I figure as the regular employee was checking, a manager told them to lie to me and say they don't have any, because they have to wait until Friday to stock them.

It makes perfect sense in my head :compress:

Yea ... if I read those reports right no stores in the NY/NJ (well NJ area is where I looked most) the MOST any one store would have is TWO of the FOUR and some only ONE of the FOUR pops.

Is that really right? Or is it 1 = 1 set of 4 or 2 for 2 sets of the 4? Even that seems kinda low given how popular star wars is as well as how popular funko pops are. Also sending a store just ONE pop (or even one set of four) seems like it was hardly worth it for them in the first place.

They are now starting to show up in the metro-detroit area, for any of the michigan people here. I bought imperial guard and snow trooper today. Out of the 6 or 7 I went to, only one store had them.

1 means 1. Most stores only carry 2-3 of any given product of a time, u unless it's something always on sale, or has a super awesome sales history.
