Anakin and General Grievous!!!

Postby **KarateKid** » Wed Oct 19, 2016 1:47 pm

Hit up 4 Walgreens yesterday and no Grievous or any of the "new" wave. All of them had plenty of the old wave of exclusives ... Ree Yees, Kit Fisto, Plo Kloon. Talked to a couple of employees and they have too much stock of the older wave to be getting any new ones anytime soon. :-/

In addition they had a bunch of Marvel stock too so nothing new for us for a while.

I saw something on facebook that a lot of the warehouses are shipping these boxes out now. So probably start popping up soon.

Ha. POPping. I see what you did there. In all seriousness though, still really hope I am able to get the General. He looks so great!

8 Walgreens in the last 24 hours, and finally found a Grievous at the last one I hit. Figures.

I checked 5 stores today and no GG or sabine but all received 2 boxes...1 with old SW exclusives and the other with the new Rogue 1 pops. I can confirm that the R1 case has only 1 exclusive blue stripe Scarif trooper...so It seems it may actually be the most rare of them eventually...especially if the rumors are true of a case of 3 GG and 3 sabines are being shipped.

The case contains 4 of GG and Sabine. Rogue One cases come in a 6 pack.

Has anybody found these in the bay area are yet?

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Thu Oct 20, 2016 3:07 pm

Postby **lcarus83** » Thu Oct 20, 2016 3:09 pm

Nothing in the many CT stores I've been to. Overloaded now with glowy yoda wave.

Nothing but Plo-Koons and Kit Fistos in Nashville and Franklin TN so far. Hoping I'll start seeing em this weekend.

Nothing at the ones I checked at Vallejo and Concord, but that was a few days ago. I'll keep posted and try to get as many as I can if spotted!

Postby **powderkid28** » Thu Oct 20, 2016 9:52 pm

Looks like many stores didn't and aren't getting these. I haven't checked with all the stores in my area but the 5 stores I have contacted did not receive any.

Postby **Strending625** » Thu Oct 20, 2016 10:35 pm

The only Star Wars I saw the other day when I was Walgreens hunting were 5 Reys at one store. Nothing else

Wow! Does anyone need 45 Stormtroopers with Riot Shields? Because all 12 Walgreens by me have stacks and stacks of them. But Ive not seen one Green Goblin or Iron Spider lol

. Oh dear mary...

Postby **darthmaul1309** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 11:25 am

Anyone in the Sacramento area find Grievous yet?? At the moment he is definitly at the top of my want list and would even consider him a grail at this point.

Postby **wsm10** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 11:45 am

Here's a funny story, I went in to my local Walgreens to get a grievous for my friend and some ups guy is there with a bag staring at the pops. He already bought 2 grievous', 2 spirit yoda's, 2 punishers a venom and something else. He asks me if I wanted the dented up venom they still had that he didn't buy and I said no thanks. I asked if they had anymore grevious' and he said he'll know shortly and if I wanted one, he would hook me up with one for $30. I just laughed and walked away. Some people. Bunch of scumbags. It made me laugh though for sure.

I found one Exclusive Scarif trooper in STL amongst probably two to three cases of spirit yodas, prototype armors, at-at drivers, and the rest of the rogue one set. I'll be hitting up 3-4 more stores this afternoon.

So after a week of pounding the pavement and leaving my info at several Walgreens, I get a call on my way to work from a manager who drove to a different WGs and picked me up a set of Sabine & Grievous and brought them back to his store. I still can't believe it, and he actually picked really good boxes too. This manager really went above and beyond.

Wow, that is serious customer service! I'm still on the hunt in North Cackalacky and only finding all the old runs (Spirit Yoda, Riot Trooper, AT-AT driver, Ree Yees, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto). It's driving me a bit crazy trying to decide if I should look to purchase somewhere else vs. waiting and hoping they appear in my state AND I'm able to find one. :-/

that was fast.

Grievous is popping up in stores now. I guess Walgreens decided to release them. I sincerely hope they make Anakin...preferably Episode 3 Anakin PLEASE.

Postby **DigsUT** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 3:39 pm

Grievous and Sabine showed up at a couple stores here in Pflugerville. Just when I was contemplating getting them from Ebay:p

Oh...at one store they rung up at $5.99 each, which I thought was strange.

Postby **DookSkyWalker** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 4:01 pm

Did you guys go to random stores or what? And are they in the normal section?

Postby **Pmisley** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 4:21 pm

To our Walgreens employees on the board:

Can the individual Pop in question be looked up directly by its associated UPC? Someone on Reddit is claiming that a store manager requested the UPC, but I thought they were all bundled under a single WIC meaning it wasn't possible. Thanks for any info to help the hunt!

If they don't do an episode 3 Anakin then I'm gonna be tempted to go to the dark side. lol

has anyone in Seattle area found Grievous in person yet?

Who is online
