Damn, I guess I should consider myself lucky. I was able to get all three right off the shelves so far.

Can anyone please assist me in finding out if this is true : I went into a Walgreens store this weekend and all they had were a lot of Becky Lynch’s and the manager preceded to tell me that Their Company won’t sent them anymore until they sell out of the current figure ? Is this true ? I need 2 Beckys. I can get you Sasha and Maryse.

My friend worked at Walgreens for years, it’s true. They literally have to sell out before they even try to order more. So you could be looking at months or years lol. Luckily mine pushes items because they only order like 2 Basics and 1 exclusive and an Elite. Right now they have Seth Rollins, The Miz and Maryse. I never saw Becky, I’m really against these Walgreens exclusive man. Walgreens either gets so many they never order again or they sell out before you even get there lol. They are probably the worst place to have exclusives that aren’t those stupid POP dolls. I think Mattel really ought to consider making Walgreens exclusives available at another more populated store. Meijer maybe? They don’t stock perfectly but at least it’d give two options. This “exclusive” crap is just sickening That's sad The lengths we go to be wrestling figure collectors... I agree, if the distribution for store exclusives is minimal (most of these stores literally have one peg for WWE), then the process should change. It doesn't make sense for Walgreens because it's not like a good attractor to the store. If anything you'll be there to check when you're picking up an Rx or OTC medicine. Exactly! Luckily my Walgreens is down the street and I basically lived there when I was a teen lol! My grandma still goes weekly. And man you are right with one peg! I think the most WWE figs I’ve seen there is 3. I have had luck there with Sasha, Maryse and Flashback Lita. But that’s pure luck. My Walgreens is downsizing so I’m afraid WWE figures may be wiped out! Luckily my best friend used to work there so the manager knows me. He gives me heads up but I make sure to tell him not to hold stuff back. It’s hard enough finding Walgreens exclusive stuff, I wouldn’t feel right having that manager connection and grabbing before anyone else had the chance.

I think two per store is pretty darn reasonable. I would like to think they should be able to sell two of each.

No they dont have to sell out. Almost all retail stores are set up to automatically order. I have one walgreens that had a Sasha, Becky and Maryse on the shelf as well as an elite 53 Alexa

Unfortunately, the lengths we go to be ANY type of action figure collectors these days.

The whole Walgreens exclusives have driven me nuts. I have 3 Walgreens within reasonable distance from me, and a fourth in a town, I go maybe once a month to, and I've never once seen the Becky one. One of the ones near me, has had two Sashas sitting on the shelf for ever, and the one closest to me I picked up Maryse, and another has been sitting on the shelf for over a month.

I'd rather take my chances with amazon, cause it if it arrives damaged and i complain they will give me a Full or partial refund and let me keep what i ordered.

Luckily I’ve never received a destroyed box from a sold by amazon figure, but there’s usually one or two small things about them that a more hardcore MOC collector than I am would be upset about. Same goes for POP figures.
