It does seem that they fixed the issue through Walgreens.com- that or my app wasn't properly updating. Glad it's working!! Saves me some time. I will still be monitoring this thread for any questions!

Remember that they toy reset comes down on two weeks so some stores may be lazy in getting these out of their stockroom until then!

Looked here in NC at three different Walgreens and nothing but frozen pops... will keep up the stalking.

Found 1 Yoda in Scottsdale at McCormick Ranch today, with a pretty banged up box. I figured that would be a good one to have open, so I picked him up. Still nothing at the one right down the street that has had 6 in the system since the first report :P.

I was able to grab the set (plus the 2nd Royal Guard I wanted :-)

) at a Walgreens that hasn't carried any Pops since Iron Man 3. I was 1) shocked they got them at all and 2) surprised to see an entire case (2 of each) on the shelf. i figure I got lucky and they were just put out as there wasn't even a shelf tag for them yet. why couldn't the Spider-Man exclusives have been this easy??

this was in New Hampshire btw

Any updates for Michigan? Says every Walgreens in my area has them in stock on the site but I've been to 6 now.. :/

I don't think the web inventory works, it doesn't reflect any different than it did the first day the link was posted.

I was able to get a full case in Battle Creek, so I would imagine you guys will be getting them any time now!

Anyone know if these hit Manhattan yet?

Was there a lot there?

Postby **dedboy** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 12:37 pm

^^Only the one case at one of the stores I checked. A few other stores had one or two individual pops, but I think only 3 or 4 stores out of the 9 that I called actually had any in stock.

Postby **UnmaskedSteve** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 1:16 pm

Anyone able to find in Northern Cali? Specifically Stockton ?

Good News and Bad news - Duane Reade is on the store finder on Walgreen's site, and many of them are showing as in stock. However, I just got back from walking to 3 stores, and none of them had any in stock. Only the usual assortment of Frozenm, SOA, HTTYD, a bloody Daryl Dixon.

Keep me posted if you find any. I'll be on the lookout too and will let fellow Michiganders know if I come across any in my travels.

Gephyrophobia, what area are you looking in?

Postby **jlnorris1215** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 3:48 pm

Found two Yodas today in NC - the manager ordered more pops but couldn't guarantee that the others would be in the shipment. He was super helpful and didn't seem to mind that it took twenty plus minutes for him to find the Yodas that they had. It was the only store in a 75 mile radius from me that had any in stock and was willing to help me get more! Totally worth the twenty minute drive.

Postby **slimpicks** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 3:51 pm

Went to 4 walgreens in San Diego and nothing

The manager of the Walgreen's I went to was like this. It's so nice to have somebody treat you as a valued customer like that.

I have an extra snowtrooper but there is a small crease of about half an inch or so on the back of the box. If anybody wants it, it will be cost plus shipping and depending how you pay through paypal (0 fee as gift, but 3% plus $0.30). Message me.

Postby **Ivan0430** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 8:37 pm

Well guys, the website worked for me again today. Managed to find two more stores within my apt that had them "in stock". One of them had snowtrooper, which i already had, and at the other I found Imperial Guard, making my set now complete. I would recommend calling the stores labeled as "in stock" if they are too far from your location instead of making a pointless drive. Tucson Az aint that big so this really worked for me. Now to stalk Walmarts for that Jabba 3 pack

Website has failed me several times

Found your lists to be most informative. Hope to see another update. Thanks for all your help Ashley!

Postby **jambes** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:23 pm

Okie dokie, I will provide one tomorrow then!

Postby **big_matt** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:32 pm

Thanks, Ashley! I agree with the previous poster - I just came back empty-handed from 6 stores that were listed as having them "in stock"

Postby **tjbhab** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:49 pm

The store near me has their truck coming tomorrow so lets cross our fingers they show up. If they do I will let you know.

Postby **Gephyrophobia** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:51 pm

I'm right by Flint.

Postby **Sir Real** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 10:04 pm

Look all around for these
They could be hiding in plain sight...

Postby **jambes** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 10:09 pm

Hah. Are those the Halloween Lego blind bags? definitely doesn't show Pops with them in our merchandising guide

Postby **Sir Real** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 10:15 pm

I don't know. I'm just glad I looked down as I was leaving the aisle. I nearly missed them.

Postby **emcee** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 10:16 pm

I hope you stocked up on painkillers for the summer

Postby **cbow52** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 11:36 pm

found the last two at my local walgreens. the webiste said in stock the day before i went but there were none on the shelves. Went again, a day later, there were only two left (yoda and boba fett). after i went it said not in stock, so i'm assuming the webiste is pretty accurate. They just came in stock at the other two local ones in south texas. There's not a lot of competition for these where i live so hopefully i'll have them all by tomorrow.

Postby **Ivan0430** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 11:48 pm

The store i found Imperial Guard didnt have any in stock yesterday. Checked the website this morning and went after work and they had all but Yoda. It clearly depends in which City you are looking for. Tucson doesnt seem to have many funatiks and the demand for Pops is low, making it easier for me to acquire the ones I am looking for...good luck everyone, Force Friday is upon ourselves and these might become more available and easier to attain

Postby **KaboXx** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 12:42 am

Hmm looks like the website is accurate the least. You just got to search for them buggers. I found all but Yoda at my local walgreens in north texas. But they were hidden over by the stuff animals!

Postby **grendelscott** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 12:55 am

Found a Boba Fett, Snow Trooper and Yoda (with a good box) today at the one down the street from me finally. Only the Imperial Guard left!

Postby **Golmdoe** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 1:03 am

Still havent found any yet in the metro detroit area. Theres 6 that I have been checking almost on a daily basis now for the past week or so.

Postby **grendelscott** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 1:09 am

Probably not the best picture, but here's a pic of Yoda in his glowy goodness:

Funny story - when I took this, we were having one of our worst thunderstorms of the monsoon season, and I forgot my auto flash was on. I scared the hell out of myself when the flash went off in my pitch black living room. lol

Wasn't there a thread here when the Marvel exclusives were new that dealt with helping others? I ordered two cases (The 16 count at Romeoville, IL) and after an error, now have both.

Postby **HellKat613** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 2:44 am

Found all but the only one I wanted, Yoda.
