Chigarillo Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Lol. The 2 Walgreens near me are still on wave 6... Had the BC Avengers wave show up, it got bought out and the store restocked with wave 6, which I already had. They’ve now been sitting on pegs for about 10 months. I’m not going to buy them, no one else seems to want to, so we are just stuck at an impasse. Useless product sits in the store and I’ll never see a different wave.

Well, I don't know your situation but you could always buy and resell, donate to a toy drive, or just exchange them to the store later. The impasse doesn't seem to help you out.

Chigarillo Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Tried that a couple times. This would be the third time I bought wave 6 to trigger a restock. So if anyone needs that wave let me know. I just keep hoping at some point they restock or put them on sale like they were awhile back. Was out of the country on vacation the last time the sale came around if I recall.

I think the point is none of that should be necessary to be able to buy figures that were stocked in other locations more than a year ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chigarillo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Lol! This begs the question, if animated wave 10 was made, but never was released to stores, did it ever really happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 With all the Rite Aid stores Walgreens just bought, it makes sense to close ones in areas where there are so many. Some areas are saturated while others barely have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmaster12 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 According to the article, the 200 stores they’re closing only makes up 3% of their entire U.S. foothold. There’s almost 10,000 Walgreens in America apparently. Maybe that explains why I can never find stock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a few people on the board can attest to I have SEVERAL Walgreens, Rite Aids, and Duane Reade stores which is great for me but probably not the best strategy for them. They had planned on closing some of the DR stores when they acquired them a few years back but the DR name is too powerful in NYC. 8 hours ago, Smashmaster12 said: According to the article, the 200 stores they’re closing only makes up 3% of their entire U.S. foothold.

Hulk gets a box, Cap gets a box, Spidey gets a box. Where am I supposed to put the Maximum Venom ‘mates? And should we retitle this thread to Walgreens Minimates?

BuffaloDelorean Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Between this, the Through the Ages set, and all the symbiote variants there's definitely enough to merit it. That, or split them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I did the same as someone else and bought all the older Minimates my closest Walgreen's had. Three weeks later, no Minimates at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
