How long before I give up....

...on finding Batmens at Walgreens.

The one's nearest my house are garbage. Unless I want a Kaine or HBK or John Stewart. They've got plenty of them.

Never give up, we believe in you!!

And I believe in the power of ebay when all hope is lost.

One can't simply just give up Batman, trust me.
I'm sure your local Funko groups might have a few to spare, generally they are a bit easier on the price gouging.

Good luck my friend, I got both for around cost from a buddy in KY a couple weeks back so they are to be found!

The Walgreens by my house randomly had one Batman dorbz, but it wasn't a Walgreens exclusive and I had never seen a single dorbz there before. Weird stuff. Happy to keep an eye out for people!

Giving up is part of the fun! Whoops, I meant the hunt is part of the Fun! :-D

Or FPI, that's where I got my set of WG Batman Dorbz (OOPS I MEANT POPS!!!). Seems kind of nutso to have to resort to buying them from Europe when I'm surrounded by Walgreens at work and home, but that's what I've had to resort to since my WG's stock nothing but Frozen and Star Wars Pops.

We never got the Jason Dorbz either

I'll give you a shout if I see any in Overland Park, but it's not looking too good.

How are Walmarts on the black and white Pete? Northland has been ignored. Target is just heartbreaking.

The Walmart on 135th and Blackbob is the only decent one around here. The manager is actually on Reddit so he posts when stuff gets in. They had the Pete a while back, but I believe he's gone now.

I will let you know if I see any of the WG Batman Dorbz.

Glad to know it's the entire region. I found a chase dorbz (green lantern) in Platte City on a lark two months ago. Since then....bupkiss.

Did you go to FDO Minneapolis? I wanted to go but couldn't make it work with other commitments. Did Kevin take any pictures? Don't answer, I already know. No.

I've been pretty lucky with Chase Dorbz, but I was checking every single Walgreens weekly for a while when they were first released. TRU is a great spot too, but the one by Oak Park gets picked through pretty quickly.

Yep I made the nice, long, boring drive up to Minneapolis (it really wasn't bad at all) and yep you answered your own question correctly lol

You going to go up there for the Wobbler Summit? I'm hoping Cory sets an early date so we don't have to deal with snow...

Postby **Squird** » Wed May 17, 2017 2:25 pm

I'm going to try. If they do Fright Night again, I'm going to have to pick my events.

Drive...ugh.

Man when did FPI have them up? I've been checking regularly figuring it would be easier to just order them from there.

Did you give up yet?

No the trials and tribulations of a dear friend helped me get past that.

OOOOOOPS I meant the WG Batman POPS! So sorry, didn't mean to give you or anyone else a panic attack ;-)

From the Grand Opening Thread:

But don't be too bummed! We would have loved to do it again but the reality is that we need to focus on getting our amazing new store up and running! Look for other fun events in the future!

Thanks for the info! Hopefully it'll resume next year then. Hmmmm, so maybe I should think a little harder about going to the grand opening, I was skipping it in favor of Fright Night.

I'm on the same boat as you. Hopefully the tide rises and we get to find the Batmen!

Just give up and go ebay. Walgreens doebz are more limited than sdcc stuff it seems. Not all walgreens gets them and the ones that do usually are sacked out by people for resale purposes the day they hit the store. In fact many employees do that atrocity.

I got a hookup. Price wasn't outrageous (5 bucks over retail each, shipped) and now I'm back to having all the batmen that I want.

Patience is key. Saying give up now is horrible advice in my opinion and will just make flippers 10 times worse if they are making money on exclusive Dorbz. I'd much rather buy from FPI or my friend in Australia then pay a flipper on eBay.

EDIT: I retract my previous statement - they just announced Walgreens TWD Dorbz with 2 Chases... ](*,)

You can give up anytime, there will always be more Batmen Dorbz variants made.

I haven't had any luck finding them either. Not a fan of the Walgreens excl's lol

I had a great conversation with Kevin before we left the bowling alley. He joked that he would purposely be in photos but only his arm or the back of his head. I asked if we could take a photo together. And I asked and received permission to be able to post it to the FDO Minneapolis thread. He was super cool and I'm glad to have met him and spent some time with him.
