Walgreens Exclusives

Postby **Lilbrimer23** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 7:41 pm

So have we gotten word of any new Walgreens exclusives lately? All I've seen is the new power ranger pint size heroes. I miss my almost daily scouring of 11 Walgreens stores around us. Just curious and not looking for any unannounced leaks. Just thought we were going to get alot more Walgreens exclusives.

No. No more Walgreens exclusive. Don't wish for such things.

I was actually just thinking about this time last year, when Goblin and crew were coming out and it was just mayhem. Fun times.(For me at least)

Lucky you! I rarely have luck with Walgreens even though there are 6 near me. So if Funko were to ease up with the exclusives they give them I'd be happy honestly.

I had family visiting Australia so I just had them bring the recent Walgreens exclusives back with them. Much easier than actually finding them at Walgreens.

Any exclusive you find at my local Walgreens are considered chases lol

Postby **MartinMtz702** » Sat Jan 07, 2017 3:44 am

On Funko FunKast (don't remember if it was episode 2 or 3) they said they were going to start releasing more chases instead of exclusives.

All of my local Walgreens (and there are a lot of them) are terrible at getting exclusives. No business has been worse in my area then them. I dread having to hunt for exclusives there.

The Walgreens closest to me gets exclusives on every once in a while but they still have the same 2 Olafs sitting on the shelf that have been there over a year. I may just buy them to help them get new stock in lol

Yeah, I was thinking about this the other day as well. They focus mostly on marvel, specifically spidey and friends so I was thinking that maybe Nova would be on their radar.

Interesting about focusing more on chases vs. store exclusives. I wish they wouldn't do that, but what can you do. I personally have not had too much of an issue with WAG exclusives with a few exceptions, so I'm game for more. If the chase becomes easier to obtain and hence less attractive for flippers, I'm game, but we'll see.

Man would I love Nova. Been wanting on him for awhile. Can definitely see him coming to Walgreens, maybe with Super Skrull too. One can dream!

Hmm that's interesting. Did they mention if they were going to be 1:6 or 1:36 ones?

Postby **Lilbrimer23** » Sat Jan 07, 2017 1:07 pm

I know some hate Walgreens exclusives but I have to say I have everyone except the original punisher and the chase green goblin. Because I've only been collecting for 6 months. But seeing that they are leaning more towards walmart exclusives terrifies me. Only ever found the stocking stuffers dorbz and the "dc mystery" box. And I got lucky and found the wonder woman exclusive purely by being lucky. If they go with more Wm exclusives I'm in trouble. At least Walgreens exclusives don't cost much on the secondary market either. Walmart is awful in my area. Even having 12 of them within 15 miles they still never get anything. Shoot I'd even help fellow funatics with Walgreens exclusives if I could get help with walmart ones. Sad thing is I'm 4 hours drive from Walmart world headquarters and we still can't get them on shelves.

My closest Walgreens are around 25 minutes away. They're good about getting the exclusives. The only one I haven't been able to find at either of those stores is the Rey one.

I struggle with the exclusives...I'm sure the chases will be even more "fun" lol

We are set to get a distribution of dorbz starting next week. I don't see anything that stands out as an exclusive, but there are also like 30 upcs in the variety.

As far as pops go, haven't been able to spot anything out of the ordinary for weeks. I have searched in the system, it appears that Steven Anne no longer works with us, and I have been unable to locate our current toy buyer. I don't think we have any corporate honchos to navigate any sort of exclsuive deals.

That being said, my store is currently being restocked with Rey, Spider Gwen, Ms Marvel, and Scarlett Spider.

I have zero contacts or experience as a toy buyer, but if there is an opening, point me to where I send my resume. I have been telling people how to pay their employees and executives for over 15 years so surely I can navigate this toy buying business! lol

I have been trying to figure out how to apply for the last 6 months, but they haven't listed the opening. I will let you know if I find it!

I'm only half serious. I'm not driving my arse up to Deerfield! [-(

If you find it though, you should totally apply!

You say tomayto, I say tomahto (that saying doesn't translate as well in written form so did my best...).

I just read that the vintage homage Star Wars Greedo, Hammerhead, and Walrus Man will be Walgreens exclusives.

What I just saw about them, they are Walmart.

That would be better! Hope it's that and not Walgreens; at least with Walmart, they usually can be ordered online.

I haven't had much trouble getting Walgreens exclusives, but I have been pleased with not having to hunt there lately. Time has been tight and any place I can drive by is good with me.

Postby **Mister Piggy Wiggy** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 11:39 am

I have yet to find the one Walgreens exclusive I want the most: Unmasked Spider Gwen. After going to and searching at many Walgreens, no luck.

I've been seeing that one a lot around me lately (though for some reason none of them have the Walgreens exclusive sticker on them). I'm happy to pick one up and send it to you. Let me know!

Postby **RichCo** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 12:27 pm

Walgreens exclusives are either hit or miss for me. Scarlet Spider -encountered a few in the wild. Spider-man 2099 & Unmasked Spider-Gwen - NADA. I don't get it.

Postby **jkcohen626** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 12:29 pm

Personally, I have never had trouble with walgreens exclusive and have most of the ones that I have wanted. However, I have never even seen a chase in the wild unless you count super marked up prices at places like comic book stores or Toy Tokyo.

I guess that helps answer my question. Awesome looking pop!

Ask and you shall receive lol

People really need to stop asking for Walmart exclusives!

Agreed. Walmart is the worst. What's even worse is they seem to get all the good stuff lately.

Walmart's been exploding with exclusives recently! But at least they are getting a little better about having stuff in stock. Or at least my store is getting a little better.

I've got your back!

But seriously, ever since the DC boxes, they've been pretty decent about getting exclusives! Including some of the older ones that suddenly showed up.

I think mine may actually get some, but we don't have a TON of Walmarts in the Bay Area and I think they just get cleaned out super fast. I was really lucky to get those Batgirl, Jasmine and Abu Dorbz, but I literally went to the store every day for a week to do it. And they were already wiped out of the batmans.

People need to stop asking for exclusives that aren't from Hot Topic! lol

They always get a surplus of exclusives and I always have $5 coupons there!
