Every Walgreens I've ever been to has only ever had Becky and Sasha. I never saw Maryse or Naomi anywhere ever. Walgreens is pretty bad for keeping exclusives stocked, because they're a drug store, not a toy store, so none of the managers care about ordering toys. I don't understand why you would strike a deal with them for exclusives because it's not going to get into most people's hands. Defensive Walgreens manager here that just wants to clarify that we don’t have much control over orders nowadays. We are told to trust the computers to do that for us lol That being said, Walgreens handling of this series has been horrible. As others have said, markdowns and online ordering need to be implemented. From another manager, hes 100% right. If the computer doesnt think we need it it's not gonna order 1 unless 1 sold. If it was a specific item that wasnt in store yet we could try to order it. It's not the employees fault.

I work for walgreens, we were told we couldnt Mark down anything without corporate consent (due to a manager marking down items to 90% off and buying them for resale) the company is changing everything and its losing us customers. Walgreens insider!! So when they do clearance and markdown is it someone in corporate doing the price adjustment in the system for the store or is someone at corporate giving the ok for a store level manager to do the adjustment? Depends on the item, most the time coporate gives the ok to the manager for a certain amount. Usually it starts at 50% off but ive seen some things get boosted down to 75% right away. Every day we get handed clearence tags for items we need to sell through do to them not being in our plano. Ive never seen wwe figures clearenced, which is sad.

I haven’t seen a regular Elite line figure At Walgreens since last year. They just have a overflow of the exclusives elites, however since they don’t move much, no new exclusives get put out. Walgreens use to be the last good place to go for regular elite line figures.

are they even gonna do exclusives there anymore? i figured they killed that also along with the others. I know there will be exclusives to stores included with the elite waves. (i guess that how it works now) but Walgreens should've been canend a while ago. we still have Nasty Boy Knobbs and Terminator HHH as the only 2 elites on pegs. And old basics rotting.

I'm laughing because I went to the nearby Rite Aid and they had two Basic Lanas, in the white dress, for $17.
Those stores/managers/computers? just don't get it.

I hate to say it but I sure do look forward to not running into Walgreen's to come away empty handed about 90% of the time. Exclusive distribution is atrocious. Elites trickle in randomly and way out of date. Stores in my area are all getting E56 a couple at a time, the same series whose leftovers have clogged my Walmarts' shelves since April. And Basics, I don't even know. Posted in another thread how I found a FRESH case of the 5-year-old Sig Series in a store recently.

Every Walgreens in my area has at least two Maryse Elites. Most have more than that. Shoot me a message if you are looking for it, I don't mind shipping them out to people as long as you cover the figure and shipping.

What's this nonsense about Naomi being skipped for Paige? I've been waiting for that Naomi figure since March. What the hell?

Tried the trick of buying the last Becky Lynch to force the store to order a new shipment in hopes of finally seeing Maryse in my area. Ended up finding two more Becky's three weeks later. Another Walgreen's still hasn't sold thru their initial Sasha Banks order from last year. So I'm hoping I can at least get a Naomi before this line fades from stores. Walgreens near me also currently has Maryse in stock, and I bought 2 extra a couple months ago. If you've got the SD Women's Champion Becky as opposed to one of the other Beckys, I'll trade ya one of my Maryses!

A bit behind is an understatement lol...I guess Natalya was cancelled from what Ive read but I havent seen anyone legit confirm it.
So the release schedule was Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Maryse, Natalya, Naomi, Paige Im assuming? I know we saw the Alexa Bliss but Im guessing thats the one that got moved into the Survivor Series line which clearly isnt coming out either.
