Oh, we get them, I feel like we just have a really huge number of collectors and flippers and they clean things out as soon as they hit. I see people posting their hauls on local facebook groups all the time. A lot of people buy out stores to help out their particular facebook groups, so they're not actually flippers, but it's still disappointing when you can't find anything in stores.

Do any (non-Chase) Walgreens exclusives go up that much in value?

I don't think they do in the long run, but like most exclusives the value spikes pretty high when they are initially coming out and harder to find. People get worried that they will be hard to find and will pay a premium on ebay and other sites to get them. After a month or two the price generally goes back down, and goes down even more if there is a flood of inventory like there has been for some of the Star Wars and Spider Gwen Walgreens exclusives.

I should probably watch any of the Star Wars before I collect the characters but it's hard to not grab mace being play by Samuel Jack and all

Thanks. Makes sense, but I guess there aren't any that ended up being really HTF yet, like there were for Target, Hot Topic, and B&N.

Yeah, I think they were just newer on the scene with the store exclusives than the others so they were more available. I think the only really in demand exclusives from them are the more recent ones like Juggernaut and Mace and some of the Star Wars ones that showed up after the glut of the second wave of Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, AT-AT Driver and Ree-Yees that still seem to be hanging around. I think the most in demand Walgreens items are actually their exclusive Disney mystery minis. I heard those were SUPER hard to get a hold of.

I've heard that at some stores the managers have been ordering in MW for them. I saw it in this reddit post, https://www.reddit.com/r/funkopop/comme ... ive_today/

Give that a try if you're still hunting,
Apparently the WIC is specific to him
WIC: 992434
UPC: 889698148221

Got him on Ebay for a total of $20. (i thought he would be 14.99 like Garindan)

Goodluck everyone!

Garindan is $14.99 because he is a convention exclusive. $15ish is typically the price that Funko puts on their convention exclusives. Since Mace Windu is just a normal Walgreens exclusive, he'll likely be $9.49 - $10.99 (whatever the price is for a normal Pop! at your local Walgreens -- mine recently went up from $9.99 to $10.99).

Still nothing in Pittsburgh. Waiting for Juggernaut & Mace. Hope it is soon :-s

I am new to collecting pops, that is good to know. Thank you! My Walgreens is sketchy and has a terrible selection of pops anyway, $20 is cool with me considering I was expecting to pay 15. Now i just need to find Reinhardt no mask.

Went to three Walgreen today and nothing. Workers are are no help.

Postby **JimmyD** » Thu May 11, 2017 12:36 am

In going to about 20 different Walgreens within a 10 mile radius of my house, I realized something..... There REALLY are quite a bit of Walgreens out there!! And..... not one of them had Mace.....

Postby **PopDaddy** » Thu May 11, 2017 1:34 am

Different members in my FaceBook group found some a week apart at different Walgreen's.

Walgreen's distribution not good so far on these or the unseen Batman Dorbz due last month.

No problem. Glad I could help. Yeah, $20.00 is a very good price for him right now. You found a good deal there.

Where in MA are you? I'm in Worcester. Good to see another Masshole, I can keep a look out for you.

Sorry for the delay in response. I am in Dedham, close to the south shore. There are a few other Mass-holes here in this forum too. At some point we need to do a local meet up. I have tried to get my buddy at Rubber Chicken Comics to organize a Pop swap but life keeps getting in the way.

Speaking of Worcester, my band will be at the Palladium on July 28th with L.A. Guns. Come on out!

And staying on topic...I got Mace online this morning as well! Wooooo!

sweet, got him! Now I don't have to drive to 8 stores today and spend an hour and a half looking for him. Now I hope it gets here in good shape lol

Was going to buy then saw shipping, talk about a buzkill. I'll try my luck in store! Lol

How is Walgreens shipping. This is my first order from them. Is it hit or miss?

I have seen both good and bad from walgreens. Personally I have had 2 good experiences with well packed parcels.

Their shipping has come so far. I haven't had one issue since my first order months ago. Ordering 2 helps also. Less room for the pops to get knocked around inside the box that way.

Good luck. Look at all the other members that bought this time thinking Juggernaut would be easy. You may spend 6 bucks on gas some and still not find him.

I'm not a huge Star Wars guy so if I miss him I miss him but I've never missed an opportunity at a Walgreens Exclusive. My local stores stock them plentiful.

Postby **sleepywan** » Thu May 11, 2017 10:39 am

I was able to get 2. I still am waiting until Saturday to see if the order goes through at my local WG for 3. So I might have some extras.

Wish my stores were like that but like most others I skipped on jugs thinking I'd nab on store and never saw him at ANY stores had to end up trading for him so Def not letting 6 bucks of shipping stop me this time spent more then 6 bucks on gas and time driving looking for that A hole lol

Postby **Poldyman** » Thu May 11, 2017 11:06 am

Shipping cost is less than the gas you spend hunting him down at multiple stores. I wish I could have nabbed him. Went live while I slept.

Who is online
