hopefully your friday can be great

Ya! I hope you at least get one toy for your B-day.
Or at the very least, some sweet sweet huggins from those loverly ladies of yours.

you need to go to a lot of them. it also depends on when they get stock in usually its whenever they get their weekend stock they put out the exclusives

good haul so far.

I thought it was pretty good so far! I'll count Highbrow and Wolfwire as part of it too, don't think TL Fort Max will be here for a while though I guess I can't really expect him to get here until after BBTS and other US companies and stuff list him as in-stock..

You know what is unfortunate? I have 3 Walgreens in a 30 mile radius. Basically in a triangle, meaning each one is at a corner of the triangle separated by at least 20 miles! We have a TON of CVS and Rite Aid's around me. BUT! I did find Chromedome and Mindwipe at the Walgreens by me when I bought them a few weeks ago, and that peg has been EMPTY since!! So MAYBE I'll get lucky!!

You're right, I probably will it's weird, I just thought about how many Walgreens there are around here to the other pharmacies. We definitely have more CVS than Rite Aid or Walgreens, but more Rite Aid than Walgreens too.

I get up at 530am on weekdays and 6am on weekends - got to get them worms yo!

We have Walgreens scattered all over town, but spread way out. According to Google maps - 15. The problem is I can only hit one during my lunch break.... so which one

The fun thing is they are almost always on a corner and on the opposite corners is either CVS, Rite Aid or both

Yeah word, I just got a movie toy at a Rite Aid and CVS has a crap selection of toys.

530am?! Worms?! That's just crazy talk!!

Also, it's really funny how Walgreens/CVS/Rite Aid all cluster spawn

Hey grocery stores open early, what can ya do?

It's easier to kill mobs when they cluster spawn - oh wait, we're not talking vidjo games are we

I'M UP! I'M UP!

Walgreens is spread across this town like a virus. The Irony! I seriously have 6 with in a 5 mile radius around me. And yes, everytime Walgunds builds a new location, CVS builds one across the street. So RUDE!

Remember fellas, I had a convo with a gang of Walgrugs employees when I found wave 2 guys about distribution. I don't like the politics around this fact, but from what I gleaned from the talk was, your best bet is to hit the locations near/servicing affluent (Higher income) neighborhoods. Essentially neighborhoods with parents for whom dropping $20 on a Deluxe doesn't even phase them.

Ima try to hit 1 or 2 Walglurgs on my way into work today. FO SHO!

HAPPY B-DAY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

Well, I've found TR Wave 2 equally at all the Walgreens I've visited regardless of their location and a few were in in sketchy parts of town. But it makes sense they stock what they can sell. Now what I have noticed is that each store would only have 2 figs from a case. So they are definitely case splitting.

On my most recent visits, I've been finding wave 1 or mixed wave 1 & 2. So it may just be pot luck. But no harm in focusing on the ones near neighborhoods.

There is logic to what stores stock where depending on the clientele. I work in grocery stores all over and the liquor selection varies greatly depending on what part of town your're in. One thing is for certain, retail knows how to make money. YMMV - happy hunting kiddos

That they do, or they never close!! It's also easier to catch the Poke's when they clusterspawn. #Pokewalk

Thanks again my friend

I do remember that, and that means I'm in luck as I'd say the Walgreens closest to me (which is always well stocked with toys) is the one to go to and find those figures!! Here's hoping!!

There was a CVS that had a Transformers Prime Wheeljack at the end of last year and I went back a few weeks later for it to be gone, I was sad. Good luck on the hunt and be safe!!

Quite true, all of the above!!

Good luck to all!!

In my convo with the Walgrunts, they confirmed that they most certainly split cases and distribute based on demographics.
