Walgreens Continues to Stock Black Series
Toy runs at places like Wal-Mart and Target may be a complete waste of time for most of us, but if you have Walgreens stores in your area, it’s definitely worth swinging by to see what the situation is.
Most stores receive at least one delivery each week, and are often getting in a few Black Series figures with each shipment – just today, reader Darth Stringfield spotted at one Walgreens store a more interesting selection of figures than I’ve seen at all the local Target stores combined over the past year.
How are those Store Finds going? Let us know in the forums!

Target Exclusive AT-DP with Driver Listed Online
The Target Exclusive AT-DP with AT-DP Driver now has a placeholder page on their website. It is currently unavailable for order but its listing should give indication that we can expect it in the next couple weeks. Remember, this item shares a DPCI (087-06-1832) with other exclusive and non-exclusive Class II vehicles so a DPCI will not guarantee finding a store with this set.
Thanks to Jedi Temple Archives for the heads-up.

Update: New Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Variant?
UPDATE: We’ve included the original tweet and a “shocking” response from Steven Anne via our friend, Matt Guzy. Again, this isn’t confirmation, but a fun bit of speculation that may have some traction.

UPDATE: 6″ Bossk and Han Stormtrooper Coming Soon

A Tale of Two Heads
I’ve felt for a while that the Black Series Ree Yees has been sporting a head a tad too small, so I dusted off my dremel so I could see what the POTF2 version’s head looked like on there.
Does it look better? Or worse? Does it really matter? I dunno – but I think I prefer the larger head. If you’ve considered making this alteration, head to the forums for a closer look.
