    All the local Walgreens near me seem to have been restocking the exact same 4 figures: Triggerhappy, Twinferno, Quake, and Krok.

    Still need Perceptor & Kup to complete the deluxes. Why is it these two are the hardest to find?

    Yep, it's what I keep seeing as well, whenever a store sells out it's restocked with these 4, it's also why I suspect they are getting an odd case mix.

    As we've discussed before Walgreen's DOSE NOT get a full case. They can order or be sent any number.

    Yes, but Walgreens as a whole (whatever they call their warehouse) can receive a different case that is then split up and sent to the stores. Happened with Power Rangers last year. They got a special case with half Walgreens exclusives, half normal figures. Target would get a wave with 2 villains and these Rangers, Walmart would get three villains and those Rangers...

    It's entirely possible that the normal case for wave 4 is one each or krok and quake, so Hasbro compensates with a revision wave sent to Walgreens that has krok, quake, Twinferno, whatever.

    Broadside will be the same way, except he wasn't in a case before.

    I found Topspin at Walgreens. So not sure how accurate that is.

    I worked in retail for a long time and have plenty of distribution center experience. The Walgreens STORES do not typically get cases. Hasbro ships the cases to Walgreens (or any other retailer's) distribution center, a centralized warehouse most retailers use to make their inventory chains more efficient. The distribution center pulls a couple figures at a time and puts them into the blue bins that are shipped to stores. Those figures are however pulled from cases that are sent by Hasbro and stored at the distribution centers.

    What the distribution center gets does not help me find Perceptor in a local Walgreen's.
