I had my friend look around Arizona for me for Venom. Him and his sister could only find Punishers. A lot of Punishers. Found 1 Venom from calling about 30 stores and many other stores, probably at least 6 that told me they had multiples of Punishers.

Where do you work? Surprised the red guard were still around

My Closest Walgreens has had a single Red Guard and Snowtrooper for weeks now. Guess everyone around here found them already.

Question - how much are the Walgreens Exclusive Pops? When I found a few at my local Walgreens in Manhattan they were marked at $15.99 a piece. Seemed odd considering pictures that many of you have posted show the pricing label on the shelf at $9.99.

I'm in NC, and the exclusives are priced at 10.49. I found a full Star Wars set at the second closest to my house, and then managed to find a second full set at another one near by, but Spirit Yoda's box is a mess - if anyone's having trouble finding them PM me and I'll happily help you out.

Now to wait for Marvel to restock. Every store within 30 miles of me has nothing, or only Punisher. The last cashier I went through when I got the second Star Wars set was sooooo into what I was buying that she walked me to the aisle where the empty Marvel shelf was, wrote down the sku, gave me a card with her name and she took my number to call me. If I'm able to get any extras I'll definitely let you guys know.

Just on a whim I stopped in a Walgreens I haven't been in for months. They only had the same 6 Frozen Pops that have been there for going on half a year, or perhaps they keep restocking them.

Postby **Scribe616** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 12:20 pm

Went to another Walgreens that claimed to have Marvel POPs in stock . . . they had Dancing Groot :mad:

Postby **emcee** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 1:22 pm

That Groot so hot right now.

Postby **Barryyyyy** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 3:01 pm

Stopped by two Walgreens near where I was working today.....one had old paint Punisher, the other...two baby Groot.

Is that a new exclusive black and white Red Skull? That's a must have.

Here in Az their exclusives went from 8.99 to 9.39.

Postby **jambes** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 8:20 pm

Pop at my store are $8.99 regardless on exclusiveness. Corporate sets prices based on clientele, traffic, location, etc etc. It varies quite a bit on everything we sell.

Postby **pepsiracer24** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 11:39 pm

Between the 6 Walgreens i have here, Pop's are $7.99-$10.99 depending on which one I go to.

Postby **WendyWho** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 10:28 am

Using the store locator, mine finally switched to in stock as of this morning. I just went but they hadn't unpacked them yet and wouldn't take a look in the back for me. I left my name and number, but I'll probably go back there before the end of the day even if they don't call.

Postby **Ivan0430** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 10:50 am

finally got them yesterday! it seems walgreens is stepping up in the Pop! game (at least here in Tucson).. They had only one punisher and Spidey 2099 but at least 4 of each Venom and Black Suit Spidey... They bumped the price to 9.99 though.

Props to big_matt! Been checking the store locator daily and a store that had no stock got updated today and I made out good! Could never find 2099 and Black Suit during the first wave.

the ones I went to had only original Punisher

Postby **jambes** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 12:21 am

Anyone near McHenry, IL - their Walgreens has 4 Blaxk Suit and 1 Spiderman 2099

Postby **WendyWho** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 9:13 am

Went to 2 Walgreen's this morning that changed to "In Stock" yesterday. Neither place had put any of them out. First place took my name and number, second place the lady went in the back to find the box because she's amazing.

They got a box of 8. 3 Venom, 3 Black Suit Spider-Man, 1 Spider-Man 2099, and 1 Thunderbolts Punisher! :cheers:

Postby **yourbestbetx3o** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 9:18 am

Pretty sweet! Maybe mine will get them soon

Postby **WendyWho** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 9:24 am

I'd say to definitely keep using the store locator. I've managed 2 full Star Wars sets, and now a Marvel set with extras in the last 2 weeks using it. They seem to be really slow about getting freight out in my area though, so if they change to in stock, it might take a day or 2 before they put them out, unless you get a nice sales associate willing to take a look.

Good luck!

Congrats thats awesome! Hoping I can snag some soon from my local store.

Thanks everyone, if I find extras I'll definitely post them. I'm going to be driving pretty far later today, so I'll be passing probably 20 Walgreens. lol

I'll check the stock before I head out and stop at a few and see if I can find some extras.

*Edit, If I do find extras, I'm going to end up posting them in the Funatics Helping Funatics section in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=65056

Postby **BeefyPenguin** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 10:13 am

anybody finding them on the east coast yet?

Postby **Jango_Fresh** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 10:39 am

Scored this morning!

If anyone needs help with the spideys, now is the time to ask. What an odd case pack out.

Postby **GameOfWhooves** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 12:35 am

I finally got black suit and 2099. No sign of the thunderbolts punisher though. They had 3 venoms, 3 black suit, and 1 2099. I checked other nearby Walgreens and they had nothing.

Postby **jambes** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 7:25 am

Just an FYI, these may or may not come in for stores that have 45 Punishers from the first wave laying around. My store only has 6 but it wasn't ordering the new case so I had to do it manually.

Postby **Scribe616** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 7:49 am

Found 3 venoms, 3 Black suits, and 1 2099 in St. Charles, Maryland yesterday. No Punishers.

Postby **Tdogg2k8** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 8:54 am

my store locator finally says my walgreens has something

Postby **Barryyyyy** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 2:29 pm

Used the Walgreens stock finder thingy and went to 5 different 'in stock' stores today (my local store and others 35-45 mins away). My local store only had 2 Venom...one store had 2 old paint Punisher...one had 2 dancing baby Groot...one had nothing...the last one, I hit pay dirt!....got Black Suit and Punderbolts!!! So if my local store gets any Punderbolts in, hopefully I can help people out!

Postby **Tdogg2k8** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 2:39 pm

I actually have a beef with Walgreens. Went in today to one of the locations. they didn't have the pops out.. went to the lady because the locator said they did.
so lady is like I'll take your name down and when they come in I'll pull from the list of people who want them. I gave her a look like alien.gif . I asked her why wouldn't it be first come first serve for exclusives. she shrugged it off.

I personally don't believe you should be able to have exclusives held for you unless the store has a pre ordering system like game stop.
it takes the chase and fun out of getting things on top of you know it's limited supply.
Now if they could order more for everyone that's one thing but you're a half *** pharmacy and grocery store.... where is the sense in holding for people?

Im not mad because I already have these (not Punderbolts)

Postby **estrus** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 2:44 pm

Stopped into a PDX Walgreens for something else, fond a Black Suit and 2099 finally. They had plenty of Venoms and Punisher and about 1-2 of the ones I mentioned. $9.99

Postby **minusdatails** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 3:08 pm

The store locator thing listed all my Walgreens having Marvel exclusives in stock...drove around to all 5 of them, and absolutely nothing was there. ](*,)

Oh well, I'll find that new Punisher eventually I guess...

When the Walgreens exclusives first came out, I had a list of at least 10 people a week who I offered to contact when they can in. Granted, I ordered so everyone who asked me could get exactly what they wanted and put the extras immediately on the shelf, but that's the only reason I would do it on a basis like that. Maybe she was doing the same thing and didn't explain it well.

Looks awesome, being from Canada...i'm already scouring fleebay for Spider-man 2099 and Punderbolt...last two WG Excl that I need. Then I can rest easy.

I've been to 5 Walgreens. 2 in Brooklyn, 2 in Jersey, and 1 in Staten island. Either someone cleaned them out REAL quick or they haven't gotten anything yet. Looks like the latter. Fingers crossed.
