Emperor's Wrath Darth wasn't too hard to find after awhile, but I never saw a Prototype Boba Fett in stores.  I'm guessing this will be more like Darth - hard to find initially, but probably not too hard in another six months.

I was in a road trip for work today and found 3 of the Walgreens-exclusive C3P0 figures at the Walgreens store in Patterson, CA.  I've been searching the stores in my area for weeks, but never found anything until today.  I've had good luck finding figures in Patterson before, and once again, it didn't let me down :)

These were tough to find at first, but every Walgreens I Stop into has them now.  The one closest to my house has five.   :P

I traded one of the WalMart exclusive Scarif Troopers for my Walgreens C-3PO simply because I just never saw one in a store.  Once I did that I was at least able to stop hitting the dozen or so Walgreens stores in my county.  But the stores that are closest to my house?  I still haven't seen Threepio in any of those two or three, despite there being 6" Black Series figures in those stores.

I'm kind of glad that this figure is getting reissued on the 40AC cards.  Because this figure was a little more difficult to come by than the previous Walgreens exclusives.  At least in my area.

Don't know if anyone still needs this, but the Walgreens C-3PO is now available for pre-order at EE as well -

It sounds like Walgreens did not sell through their order and Walgreens/Hasbro have asked EE to help sell the remaining/excess stock.

Interesting.  I think I only saw the Walgreens version once after going to stores dozens and dozens of times.

One of the few exclusives I found right off the bat. Good for folks who still need him.

I could still grab 5 or 6 of these from any number of Walgreens around here.

I never saw one of the Walgreens exclusive versions in a store.  Like I mentioned above, I traded for one.  I did see this version of C-3PO on a 40AC card at a Gamestop store once, but since I already had the Walgreens version I passed.

Now in stock at EE for $20.99.  It's cool that people are getting another shot at this one if they're interested in this version of the packaging.
