    Edit: looks confirmed at this point thanks to BenjaminXavier



    Steven Anne, the man in charge of toy distribution at Walgreens Pharmacy, posted a picture on his twitter of two marvel legends figures, but in the background we can clearly see what looks like a couple of single pack version of Deluxe Titans Return Brainstorm.
    What do you guys think?
    Walgreens have been churning out some awesome exclusives lately on the marvel and star wars end.

    First, people were saying Brainstorm might be a SDCC exclusive, and now Walgreens?

    I think it will be a full mass-retail release.

    Not Hasbro, but Funko gives them POP exclusives, namely Marvel and Star Wars.

    Hasn't stopped Hasbro from making deals with different chains internationally in the past.

    In other words, just because something might be exclusive to one chain in the US doesn't mean that exclusivity necessarily has to apply worldwide, and all those market where said chain doesn't operate in are fucked.

    It's perfectly possible for a toy to be a Target exclusive in the US, a Kmart exclusive in Australia, a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, a Smyths exclusive in the UK, a Müller exclusive in Germany and a Walmart exclusive in Canada.

    Hm... Looks like I might not have to buy and split up an SDCC Titan Force set for Brainstorm after all.

    Dang, I was hoping for a greener color scheme for accuracy to the Rebirth episodes.

    I'm probably going to double dip and get both Hasbro and Takara; Hasbro for the head and Takara for everything else since it'll most likely have a better paint job

    Would make sense, they've had exclusives for every other Hasbro license.
