Sometimes I wish I wasn't so shy!

I'm shy too and it's hard for me, but with this wave, you have to ask. Everyone else is asking and buying them out of the back of the store. I don't expect any of them to see shelves. So if you want it in the wild, try real hard. I always act like a doof and am scared to get yelled at, but have always had a good experience. I just try to be very friendly and start with, "I don't want to bother you or get on your nerves, but I need a little help"

I've seen full cases on the shelf at 3 different stores,no chases but they do make it to shelves.

I guess what I mean to say, but only implied was the chases and exclusives in this assortment. Stores have been bringing cases out to let people pick through for 2-3 weeks now.

The multiple Walgreens near us haven't received either their Horror or NBC boxes yet, but the ones about 20 miles away have all received theirs. You would think their warehouses would ship stuff around the same time ...

If they are getting them, they have received them already. All of the Funko stuff shipped with one of the first two or three Halloween distributions. It's possible that one store might get it nearly a week after another just based on delivery scheduling, but the DCs should have none left by now.
I might do some research after company time tomorrow and look at on hands chain-wide.

Just a follow up to this. I looked at the on hands for some of the other stores supplied by my DC and was shocked by what I saw. About half of the stores never received them and they have no more on hand for distribution, nor are any on order. Even stranger, they had about twelve cases available for replenishment. My DC is probably the worst in the company, but it seems like this issue goes beyond my area.

Im sure that walgreens doesnt want another olaf situation where items are just sitting for years. with 7000+ stores im sure ordering a case is more then hitting there requirement with funko (7000x6= 42,000 pieces minimum each release)

Does that area include NorCal?

That makes a lot of sense. There are several Walgreens around my area that have had the same type of pops for many months now.

I checked 3 different stores yesterday, 2 had none to be found and 1 did have a couple in their Halloween section.

Fingers crossed the NBC goes online. Still haven't been able to find them at my local stores.

Postby **Funkoed In The Head** » Sun Sep 03, 2017 11:03 pm

Here in mid Illinois, have been seeing all the Horror Pops showing up. Bought Jason and Freddy the other day.

Postby **Ajc619** » Sun Sep 03, 2017 11:12 pm

It's nearly impossible to find anything good at any Walgreens around me. There's just too much competition.

Postby **tiger99885** » Sun Sep 03, 2017 11:21 pm

I got a tip that my local Walgreens had received the horror pops, so I went in, unfortunately no chases., they had 2 regular pennywise, 2 Jason, Freddy, alien. And had another box that had NBC pops, that had some nightmare at Freddy, 1 seated sally. Sucked that I didn't find any chases, but I did pick up a Jason, and pennywise

Found NBC and some horror pops in Los Angeles last week, no chase

Postby **Dread_Omen 8** » Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:26 am

My walgreens still have duck dynasty and olaf.

I just finished putting together Halloween displays. If you have a store that hasn't put them out yet, they are supposed to be on this NBC/Disney tower. The mystery mins are on there too.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I've seen those displays in a bunch of the Walgreens around me but they're empty. The first store near me that got the NBC and horror pops placed them next to the candy.

hum mine does not have this display but the did get the Nbc pops a few weeks ago so that mean they will get more ?

These displays were supposed to start going up Friday. May take a few days for people to get around to it.

No, it does not mean there will be more. The warehouses do not have any currently. Perhaps they will restock, but as of now there is nothing left.

Postby **Tazz013** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 2:15 am

I have three cases of horror pops coming tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm not going to be there for truck. We haven't transformed from tourist mode yet, so I hope they'll live in the stockroom until Wednesday.

Postby **BobbyRyanLloyd** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 3:30 am

Unfortunately they haven't hit New Jersey yet.

Postby **Jcabernathy** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:55 am

Missed one day and missed a lot. Box got stocked and Jason and Freddy are all that was left on the shelf.

Postby **kdmlvr** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 1:12 pm

We got lucky and found a pennywise chase at walgreens

Postby **BeefyPenguin** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 1:34 pm

This only thing I seen at my Walgreens. Zero pops

Thanks for the information! I'll have to look today and see if they have set it up yet.

Postby **Libertyroxx** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 1:51 pm

Yeah, gonna say now that I never see that display at a Walgreens in NYC period. Unfortunately.

Postby **willy wonka** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 1:51 pm

Displays looks good. I need to hunt down a Gremlins chase this year!

Postby **riceand1** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 2:01 pm

Funny thing I asked the manager who was doing the seasonal and building this display if he had any horror pops. He quickly shot me down and said no pennywise or horror of any kind, just NBC. Next day I come in which was today, I see he display completely filled and built, and not only did o see horror pops, but the one that was missing(sold) was the pennywise. I'm assuming it was the chase and he took it, proslly. Oh wells, on to the next Walgreens lol

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Sep 05, 2017 9:52 pm

Found the horror Pops and a case of minis on the shelf with the candy at my store. Nothing special on the Pops!, and only the commom exclusive minis, but it's a start!

Postby **BeefyPenguin** » Fri Sep 08, 2017 2:38 pm

Headed to Charlotte to escape the storm.... Maybe Walgreens over there will be better lol

Postby **fischmioli** » Fri Sep 08, 2017 2:44 pm

I have two Walgreens really close to me and neither had their Halloween displays up yet.

Same here, a couple of the stores still haven't even cleared out the school supplies. School did just start a couple days ago though, so maybe they are waiting for the last minute school supply stragglers.

Yeah mine too. Granted it looked like one of them was clearing out the back to school stuff so hopefully any day now.

I checked today on my lunch break. Common Freddy, Jason and PW mixed in with regular pops was it. Bummer!

I hit up all the stores in Champaign/Urbana, 5 of the stores actually got them, the rest didn't. I find that totally odd.

They are in two separate boxes of 6, so I could see them being separated. So far all the Walgreens that we found that had them had both.

Just wondering did they get more Charlie Brown pops in?
I haven't seen anyone mention it on this thread.

I found a snoopy and a masked Charlie Brown at only one of the walgreens we went to today. I'm pretty sure I picked up the one I was missing so that was nice.

Postby **Mr Yac** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:38 am

does anybody know how to check for in stock items on Walgreens site? I've entered in the different SKUs people have posted but they always come back as invalid items.
