Any ideas when this may hit the site?

Very cool. I love the guards.

Is that the ad running from 11/20-11/26?

Postby **CaseyJones14** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 9:24 am

Looks awesome! Not sure how I feel about it being online only, but I'll try and pick this up for sure.

Not sure. I'm guessing so, though?

Oh, awesome! Though we all saw how well online ordering Pops has gone in the past with Walgreens... Not nearly as well as the stores of course, but still...

Why would online only have a paper ad? That doesn't make sense.

If it's GitD, where's the GitD sticker on the box?

Nothing Walgreens does makes sense.

Walgreens usually has a spot or two in their ads for .com only items. It's usually DME, but they've had toys, fragrance, and beauty items, too.

Edit: Took a look at that ad, the entire page is only available at the .com - they are just also noting that the Pop! is exclusive, too.

The recent Star Wars releases ... Grievous, Sabine, Scarif Stormtrooper ... were supposedly "online only" and they've hit a ton of store shelves. So I'd be very skeptical and cautious of this only being "online only." Maybe for a week or two and the the stores get them.

Postby **KarateKid** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 12:33 pm

Oh beyond that, as a Star Wars fan, I've got to get one of these!

I see, I didn't know that. Thank you for clearing that up for me. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for that golden link to be posted

The guards are two of my favorite SW pops!!! And that one looks amazing! But online probably means no....

Postby **Tazz013** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 1:39 pm

I have a feeling that this will be easy enough to get.

Postby **powderkid28** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 1:49 pm

Yeah it's been in our system for a few weeks now. Hopefully I can get one!

Postby **wsm10** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 2:08 pm

Anyone notice the price? $11.99, normally $13.99?!? This mean a price increase is incoming?

P.S. If I'm lucky enough to get through and am allowed to get two, I'll for sure help someone out who needs it.

Postby **KMFH11** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 2:14 pm

Yes! I hope I can get one!!

PREACH

Wasn't General Grievous an online exclusive also? I'm sure you'll see this guy in stores too.

P.S. He looks great!

I wonder if they mean the 11.99 price is online only.

Ahhh, good thought!

Postby **JoshChaos** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 3:21 pm

Definitely a must have. What ad is this from, though? I didn't see it in the one for next week. It is possible I overlooked it, though.

Any time we advertise medical equipment as online only, that is always true. So I assume so.

Plus the price point doesn't fit into our on the shelf retail.

Weird to be getting an Star Wars E.U. character at this point. Can't wait to add it to my collection though, and we finally know what #71 is.

Now there's no number that isn't revealed yet.

#71 - Shadow Guard
#125 - Leia (Hoth)
#126 - Jedi Luke Skywalker (Hooded)
#127 - Garindan
#161 - Rey (Poe's Jacket)
#162 - Young Anakin Skywalker

This was my first thought too. Knowing that Disney/Lucasfilm has to approve everything being released, I don’t understand why they’d want to promote something that isn’t canon, when this could have easily been something that either is or will be more prominent in their films going forward.

it's not that strange. Star Wars is still releasing Legends material in the form of SWTOR and there is a Darth Revan 6inch figure coming out. Legends isn't dead, just not canon. This just seems like a marriage of convenience. a 'new' character that utilizes an existing sculpt

Postby **racheva** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 8:16 pm

So nice to fill in that gap in my spreadsheet! And I didn't know we had 161, so that's cool. Tho I think the figure is kinda silly.

And all this talk of EU characters makes me think of a character I'd love to see made: Thrawn! I know he's been on Rebels, but I know him from the Zahn novels back in the 90s. I could see him being a SWCO exclusive.

Postby **synergy56** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 8:33 pm

This guy looks amazing! Love all the guards so far. I usually get two though, so I can have them flanking a figure

Postby **Hopesdenial** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 10:07 pm

Fingers crossed... haven't really had a whole lot of luck on online purchases recently. Thanks for the share!

Postby **Krazydave2000** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 11:05 pm

And it glows!!! Hope they make ton of these as they did with other SW Walgreens

Postby **bryan_sato54** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 1:07 am

cant wait to get it..love the red eyes look on him...

Postby **HaloHawk87** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 1:24 am

This one looks great, but my chances of getting him are pretty slim if he stays online only. I'll pass if I only find it for $13.99. I like it, but I don't like it that much.

On a side note, that new Rey is my #1 future must-have. She looks great. My plan is to collect every Rey Pop they make.

Who is online
