Walgreens stocking POPs

[Meth68]

Register rewards are going away very soon! Just a heads up!

Yea this has my GF very upset . They are changing over to a stupid point system that is no where near as good. She does some extreme couponing (I have enough bathroom supplies to last me 5 lifetimes ) I got 3 avenger pop sets from her register rewards in 1 week. She will end up not going to Wags anymore and just do CVS/Riteaid/Walmart

[Capt Hook]

I just stop by one of my Walgreens today and the ones they had where 2 Jokers,Nick Furlee and Yoda.

I've finally found a Walgreens that carries Pop. It's actually about a mile away from my house, but they didn't have anything I needed. I'll be checking in now and then for chase searching though.

[Geescube]

Good luck in your chase hunt!

[buzzgotawoody]

damn i got like 2 walgreens within like a 10 min walk from me. ill have to go check see what they have.

[MasterKenobi]

Glad I saw this thread. I went by our Walgreens and got Darth Vader, Yoda, and C3P0 for 7.99 each!

[TulaBug]

I have never found anything at my Walgreens but maybe I will have to look this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

My local Walgreens drugstore is stocking POPs. There is one neat row dedicated for them on the second shelf down low. They have stocked 5 pieces. I bought the Joker last week and they restocked a Superman in its place. Currently my store has Batman, Superman, Luke Jedi x2 and Yoda.
Walgreens has a unique distribution system. They will send single pieces to stores based solely on an inventory based replenishment system. This means master cases are opened at the main distribution center and chase pieces could very well be sent to random stores. I'm gonna try to check a few more locations.

adding another store to my list! thx Gary!

[JokersWild]

all the ones here in NJ have them, i got the avengers all for $8 each, they were running a sale I guess. When I got to the register the lady said, "oh, what are these? I didnt know we carried things like this", and I said, yeah, walgreens just started and shes like, "you must be a collector, huh?" and being embarrassed I said, No, these are for my nephew and she just said, "surreee, thats how I go to see disney movies" , she was totally creepy.

[Jango_Fresh]

I always try to check my Walgreens but never have any luck, always just Nick Fury and Caps.

[PopCollector]

Every Walgreens carries different pops. A few DCs, Avengers, and Star Wars. The POPs for the DC POPs are bobble heads.

[MasterKenobi]

I'm hoping they restock with some Avengers. I still need The Hulk and Iron Man. Any idea how often Walgreens replenishes?

[DocRamon]

really?!?!? that's interesting.......

Yes it is. I'll check my Walgreens

[xTyx]

Stopped by 2 Walgreens near me in Millbrae and San Bruno....can verify that they have a pretty good stock. Unfortunately, the only ones left in stock at both locations were mostly Spidey, Iron Man, and Batman.

Hit up 3 of my local Walgreens.. since I had yet to begin my Avengers collection I did pretty well. They had just Avengers and Star Wars. Best part is they were all 7.99 so very good price. I have about 100 more walgreens near my house (or so it seems) so going to check them out later. Here is my walgreens haul from today.

[Cesar]

Nice haul! you got the whole gang

nice haul! I dropped by 2 Walgreens yesterday, they had batman & bane, unfortunately the boxes were messed up so I ended up getting Spider-Man instead, I plan on checking another Walgreens this week

[Luna]

I've only ever seen 1 Cap. America (Non Avengers), 2 Iron Man (Avengers) and the one Hulk (Avengers) I got free with the Avengers movie.

And this was in 5 different Walgreens :/ I would snap up a Jedi Luke if I found it.

[Funko5ker]

Decided to hit up some of the local Walgreen's around me yesterday. Mostly I saw a lot of Nick Fury's, Iron Man's, and a few DC pops. But I found these three guys at one store, which I was pretty pumped about since I had been wanting to pick these up for a while. $7.99 a piece is a pretty good deal.

[jandkstuff]

I'm actually disappointed that Funko Pop is sold at so many stores. Is it just me?

Obviously, as a business owner I don't like the competition but more importantly, from a non-business owner point of view, I liked it better when Funko seemed a little bit more exclusive and harder to find. It felt like more of a novelty item and a bigger treat when I'd actually find their products. Now, I see them at Barnes and Noble, Target, Zia, Journeys, Toys R Us, etc.

Anyway, I was wondering if it's just me or if you guys get a little of that feeling too. I LOVE Funko and I'm glad to see they're doing so well but I guess I also loved the challenge of finding their products too.

[edorice]

I like going into Barnes & Noble watching people pick up the Pops. I like watching the sickness spread a bit. But I also know that there are many other ways to collect these that are beyond Barnes & Noble and Target. You can still collect Disney exclusives, SDCC exclusive, Fun Day exclusives and Freddy's. You can get into chases, protos, and other variants. There are many many many Funko items that will not be seen at the bookstore.

[DocRamon]

given how often pops have paint problems, i always try to purchase them in-person rather than ordering online. so, for that reason, i want as many options as possible for finding new characters, to increase my chances of getting one with decent paint. if that means going to a comic book store, bookstore, toy store, drug store... whatever, don't care.

[Jango_Fresh]

I need to stop by my Walgreens again and see if they restocked, need me some avengers!

[jake1977jr]

My Walgreens actually has a few.Some Star Wars and a TDKR Batman,but the boxes are usually damaged.I've seen a couple at the local Gamestops,and they had The Avengers & Amazing Spider-Man at Target,and my local comic shop is actually getting some Bloody Bicycle Girl Zombies.Other than that,nothing around me.I live in a small town,so I guess we get the butt end of the deal.That's why I'm jealous of everybody on here,because you guys can actually go to a store and buy them in person,and that's why 98% of my collection has been bought online.My closest Barnes & Noble stores are an hour in two different directions,one in Frederick,Maryland and the other close to Harrisburg,and one Disney "outlet" store in Hershey.Everything's a long trip.It's kind of depressing!!!

[Jango_Fresh]

The way I see it, the more places that carry Funko the more opportunity we have at them making more pieces of different licenses.

I see your point. I guess I just miss the challenge is all.

[Jango_Fresh]

Challenge is nice, but that's where chase pieces come in! Nothing is better than finding a chase during a "hunt"!

I wish Marvel had chase pieces!

Those do seem to be the best pieces and definitely worth the hunt!

It is fun hunting for the chase pieces but a better feeling when you actually find one in the wild. When I first started, I thought I would never find a chase piece...but later on, I found some and completed the DC chase pieces. It was fun but spent a long time completing the set and expensive.

Around here I have very limited places to find Pop!s... They are rarely in Walgreens (in 5 stores I have only seen them in 2 and only saw a total of 5 Pop!s). I've never seen them in any of the Targets or Toys R Us.

I have 2 B&N "near" me (30 min drive to either one) and in the 5 months I have been collecting, neither of them have restocked other then the Xmas ones and a few 9" Batmans. Then there's a Zia Records about 45 min away and a Frys an hour away. And the Frys has a crap selection. So nope... I find the amount of Pop available in my "area" disappointing.

[U2NUMB]

Checked another Walgreens on the way into work and nabbed a dark knight batman and a spidey based on the recent movie. Noticed a dollar more price difference in a Minneapolis Walgreens compared to suburb.

What area of town do you live in? I'm in East Mesa and I've seen them all around town. I haven't been in a Walgreens lately though. Is there anything specific you're looking for?

I'm over in AJ.

Nothing specific in the DC/Marvel line since I can find those at B&N no problem, but in the Star Wars line, I'm dieing to get a Gamorrean Guard, Jedi Luke & Obi-Wan... the others I need I've seen at B&N as well. I went to a couple Walgreens over in Mesa today... near the Val Vista B&N. Saw some Avengers & 2 C-3POs.

Tomorrow I might make a run to Zia Records in Tempe... will see.

At Christmas time the Toys R Us on Power had some but then they had a shelf clearing rush and I haven't seen them since. If I happen to see them again I'll let you know.

I'm pretty sure Journeyz at Superstition Springs has some too. Not sure what kind but they used to display some in their window.

Also, there is a Zia on Dobson and Chandler and the new one on Camelback and 19th Ave has a pretty large selection if you are ever in that area.

Awesome! Thanks!!

[pcpaulinoii]

Went to the Walgreens by my work during lunch... $8.99 (same price as B&N) but they only had Amazing Spiderman in stock.

Now it seems I will be stopping by Walgreens when I see one since the price can't be beat.
