They are, because apparently no retailer has figured out yet how to meet customer demand for Star Wars toys.  >:(

Who thought it would be a good idea NOT to put this on the Walgreens site anyway?

Plenty of the prototype Boba Fett figures turned up at Walgreens stores.  And with Walgreens taking over Rite Aid?  That means there are going to be that many more Walgreens stores VERY SOON.  I think this Emporer's Wrath Vader will probably be reasonably easy to get.

The guy at Walgreens Corp HQ that wanted everyone to know about "drugstore.com", which is part of their network of sites they own.  :P

It worked - I had never heard of drugstore.com before yesterday, so well played Walgreens.

Although I did see a few Proto Bobas around here, it is a very different case with their Walking Dead exclusive figures. That %$^& Deputy Rick figure NEVER made it to a single store around here, and I checked all of them repeatedly for weeks. And I only saw the Black Ant-Man at 2 different stores out of like 20 around here. That's the kind of stuff that has me nervous. They are not at all consistent with the availability of their products across the country.

If this isn't showing up in stores by Black Friday that is a HUGE missed opportunity for them IMO.

What is the deal with Walgreens and Florida?!? The stores in that state were the only ones that ever got the Phasma wave too, at least for the first month or two. So odd.

Here's hoping there is some kind of unique UPC or item# for this one to make it easier to track down.

For those of you like me who are annoyed at not being able to find this figure in stores, good news! It is back up In Stock on the Walgreens website.  ;D

I ordered two to get free shipping. SO HAPPY to scratch this one off The List. Walgreens is my least favorite store to stalk.

Now all I need from Santy Claus is an extra Shocktrooper and it's a happy Christmas all around.  :D

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks MM!  I ordered up two to save on shipping two to too.

I got my order yesterday, the day after I placed it. I was amazed, I wish I could order every figure from Walgreens.com.  ;D Great experience! I really like the figure too, better than the original, IMHO. Looks great in the blacklight too. I love that sculpted skull under the dome!
