Yeap I added up ALL of the NYC area numbers for the 5 boros that house some 7 million people the stores at the most had 2 or 3 units (single pops) and the total number (including sold items) came out to ... FIFTY ONE individual POPs.

Thats crazy and I'm really hoping they don't get too many more pops. The NY NJ / PA / CT area just doesn't get close to reasonable inventories.

Thanks for posting the most recent screen shots! Showed some in my area so I went out and grabbed my Imperial Guard.

Couldn't find a Snow Trooper (the only other one I wanted).

I grabbed a Yoda that I don't need, so he's available if anyone wants it. C+S

I paid 10.48 for it, so I'll do $16.50 dlvd, or I'll trade him for a Snow Trooper (good paint, box doesn't matter).

And btw, what is up with price differences? Seems like every Walgreens is making up their own prices.

I got mine for $9.79 (before tax), people on another forum have found them for $7.99, $8.99, $9.33, $9.97, and $9.99.

And I saw this picture earlier ...

Being near NYC, we get to pay a premium on almost everything, so we have the $10.49 here.

Which store did you end up finding them at?

Ashley Thank you so much for your help! I went to a bunch of stores today that said they had them in stock, but no luck. Most employees mentioned their stock reset so I will try back this weekend.

they are around 8.99 here in AZ...IF i could find any

Corporate sets prices. You could literally be accross the street from each other and be $4 different. Based on volume and clientele, I do believe. Our of our control!

Had the same issue with "In stock" stores today. I didn't ask if they had them in the back, but both stores didn't have them out. (although one of them seems pretty bad to stock anything, they hardly even have drinks in the cooler). I'm assuming they're there somewhere and in the next few days i'll be able to find the Snowtrooper and Imperial Guard.

People seem to be more active here than the Walgreens Want List thread so...

I have the extras of the Star Wars Exclusives. $10.60 each (Cost + tax+ paypal fee). Shipping varies based on how many. My past experiences have been 1 via First Class is $3 and 1 via Priority is $4.75 to $5.50. I have....

GitD Yoda x 3
Imperial Guard x 2
Snowtrooper x 3
Boba Fett x 3

No luck for me in AZ either, decided not to waste any more time looking so I buckled and bought them at PopCultcha.

Orlando's International Drive/Central Florida Parkway store has dozens right as you walk in.

Postby **slim1977** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 3:33 pm

Anyone had any luck in so Cal yet. I've called a few places with no luck.

Postby **jambes** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 3:59 pm

Finally got mine today. Patience pays off!

Postby **edmomo** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 5:06 pm

Postby **Black_Dragon85** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 6:02 pm

Got lucky and found them at the first walgreens I stopped by today. Almost missed them, saw them as I was about to walk out the door

Postby **zanastar** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 8:38 pm

Thank you Jambes

You assisted a great deal in a week long successful hunt for the set

Huzzah

Feels excellent to complete this set before tomorrows ep 7 exclusive craziness Lol

Thanks again

Edit was syracuse ny, james street. They had a set and a fett left after i grabbed the two i needed and a yoda for my mom

Postby **Blehschmidt** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:05 pm

Found three of the four in Morgantown, West Virginia. Bought Yoda and Fett, left a Royal Guard on the shelf.

Postby **justin10139** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:46 pm

Found them in San Antonio at Walgreens by my work on the Southside, all of them were there kind of hidden but was shocked to them there

Postby **HawaiianLion** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:50 pm

Wow, they actually showed up in Hawaii! A local collector found Fett and Imperial Guard.

Postby **BrooklynMatty** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 10:03 pm

Not sure if the manager was holding off till tomorrow but one of the stores that showed in Stock said he hasn't seen those before and would definitely recognize them. He told me to come back tomorrow at 5, sneaky? ???

Postby **Stragon** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 10:45 pm

Going to stop by my local Walgreens on my way to TRU tonight, hope to find them there.

Postby **GameOfWhooves** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 11:36 pm

I found a proto fett and imperial guard today. 2 to go.

Postby **cbow52** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 3:02 am

So like someone was saying before, there are some stores that don't seem to be getting the full box apparently? The store i went to today i asked a guy, and he brought out a box of random toys (as was mentioned earlier) and it had 2 Star Wars pops, both being the snowtrooper (thankfully i was looking for him). apparently that's all they got.
I was wondering if that was likley the case for the other smaller town walgreens as well. When i went into my local one there were two on the shelves (yoda, boba fett) and after i came home to check the "in stock" status, they were now unavailable.

maybe i'm the only one looking for these in a 30 mile radius.

Postby **Tdogg2k8** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 6:37 am

first wal greens i went to had all but yoda. i'll go to the other one in my area tomorrow. not a huge star wars collector but spirit yoda looks cool

Postby **ohiofunkofan** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 8:57 am

Walgreens if the worst for these! I called 15 Walgreens this morning and they either had no clue what these are or told me they were not participating... even though the stock pictures posted states they have them in stock! ](*,)

Postby **cbow52** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 9:44 am

you have to understand, most people have no idea what these are. calling probably isn't going to do much good unless the person has an idea of what they are in the first place. the guy that helped me didn't know what they were, but was still helpful.

Postby **Fawk** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 10:03 am

Your best bet (imo) is to go to a Walgreen's and ask for a manager (or sometimes someone in the photo department) to look up the WIC at all neighboring stores. There's been very few times that they were unable to provide assistance.

I remember jambes saying to me earlier in the thread that every store is getting two, and not every store will get a full case.

Postby **jambes** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 10:11 am

Every store will get at least two, and if the constantly sell them or have a good sales history of Pops, then then will increase each time more come in. Should have been buying all those Frozen Pops!

Postby **grandpa_stern** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 10:39 am

My info is (now) two days old, but in Arizona I saw two imperial guards at the WGs at 43 and cactus and 2 snow troopers and 2 prototype boba fetts at 83 and Deer Valley. At Deer Valley they were way up high on the top of the shelves. The guy said they were stocking them later. They had a GID yoda but I had to GID YODA GID YODA! Ahem. I love GID.

Postby **DarthSnow** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:28 am

I called 5 stores so far and all say no they wont getting anything until next week and they dont know if they will have the SW ones.

Postby **ohiofunkofan** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:47 am

I would love to be able to go in person but I'm at work, darn work! I was trying to find a set and get them held. The 2 close to my work didn't have them when I checked on the way in this morning. Maybe this weekend I can find them.

Postby **jlnorris1215** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 12:02 pm

The manager at the Walgreens that I found two Yodas at (the only two pops they had) ordered 8 more pops - hopefully it's a good mix when I go back on Wednesday!

Postby **RedPats** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 12:27 pm

Just read and saw a picture on IG that Riot Gear Stormtropper is a Walgreens exclusive sadly lol

Postby **Battastic** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 12:40 pm

I was able to find Ghost Yoda & the Imperial Guard. Still looking for the other 2.
