Once again showing that Hasbro doesn't understand what the fans want by giving a trooper to a store for an exclusive. Especially a store like Walgreens that doesn't even really stock things. Hasbro loves feeding eBay.

Boo! Walgreens! Hiss! LOL!

Well that’s ok at least it’s a clone trooper.

 

[Nighthawk]

Will pass as it'll be $10 more expensive than a normal BS figure here in Canada. Just not worth it.

 

[Ham_Salad]

Here's hoping that this figure shows up when it's supposed to show up, and not six months later.

Don’t remember this clone at all so on the fence with this one

187th battalion?

that was Mace Windu's. these troopers were supposed to be characterized by purple markings on their armor. that is not.

 

[grendel_prime]

I ordered 2 from Old Republic (oh god they were expensive), but will probably still be cheaper than driving all over the place HOPING to find them. Stupid Walgreens.

I believe the color is accurate to the show, as well as matching Commander Ponds. The purple is from Legends.

Yeah I still think of the purple when I think of Mace's troopers. I honestly don't remember much of that arc... except Commander Ponds' pretty awful death. (Pretty sure I have his 3.75 figure...)

Clone Pooper - is this a lighting thing again? The purple looking brown in those dark shots

 

[jedimasterc]

If I stub my toe on this guy at Walgreens I might get but I am probably not going out of my way to track him down.

I guess the 187 is homage to Jackson's role in the 1997 movie.

I guess the 187 is homage to Jackson's role in the 1997 movie.

Or maybe it's just the variant number that Hasbro has in store for release
Ahsoka trooper was 332nd, there's the 212th, this one, etc etc. so they are really punishing that mold!

Naah, just kidding - it's a fine homage to Mace

My Walgreens? They only have a beat-up Finn left over. Guess that's $23 that I don't get to spend there.

LOL when I checked the other day my Walgreens only had a Jyn Erso with ripped packaging- with a clear indication that someone tried to remove her scarf but gave up halfway.

Its been there for as long as I can remember. I think if they ever sold it they'd have to get rid of the rest of their sad toy section.

I think General Veers was the last Walgreens exclusive that was easy for me to find in stores. I recall one Walgreens had at least 10 of them on the shelf. And, I kept finding them around for months after they initially hit. Now, it's kind of like Target. Rarely see anything in stores, hard to buy online, and gone in a flash if/when they do actually hit.

I think they order a lot less figures than they used to. The first few exclusives they had in multitudes. Now stores get a single figure, maybe two. And between exclusives they pepper in a mixed reg wave across multiple stores.

Same for me. I was running errands when I got a Twitter alert from Yakface that Veers had been spotted in another state. I stopped off at the nearest Walgreens and found a shelf full of them.

I realize this was abnormal, but that's how easy it was!
