    Its because in store there is no way to guarantee that specific figure with how the SKU is treated in our systems. With us offering pickup now it wouldnt work since you would get whatever deluxe is on the shelf.

    I thought it was midwest where they'd been found so far... Tennessee or Kentucky, Indiana and Denver... far as I've caught no West Coast yet. (but I hadn't been paying super close attention)

    Don't take it so negatively, just trying to advise caution and help save a few dollars.

    My conditioner, shampoo, and body wash that I used to get free shipping has been shipped and will arrive Sunday but my Bluestreak is now arriving on Monday instead of tomorrow. I will have clean silky smooth hair and smell nice but no Bluestreak.

    Just got notification that Fedex just picked up the Bluestreak order. I hope it does arrive tomorrow.

    Mine has been pushed off to Saturday, probably should've done store pick-up.

    One day delay is okay. At least you won't have to go out and risk your health.

    I'm not really worried about that. I was worried because I had something delivered to the store before and there were problems.

    Anyone willing to sell me one if they got a spare? I'll pay a markup and shipping.

    I was a complete momentary idiot about ordering online. "Well i dont wanna pay $6 in shipping maybe I'll find it at wallgreens"

    In the middle of a pandemic..

    I'm dumb sometimes.

    Your previous post says "probably should've done store pick-up"... Or are you saying you "shouldn't" have done an in-store pickup?

    I didn't do store pick-up this time because of a previous experience. Had I done it this time for Bluestreak I think I would've had it by now.

    This exactly. We have a local Walgreens store and when it was announced Bluestreak was showing up there I was very tempted to go. If it was just me I might have risked going in but I have other people I take care of that are high risk so I didn't want to chance going in over a toy. A friend of mine did check the store though to no avail. I had hoped that he would go up on their site and thankfully it did and was able to score one. I gladly paid the extra shipping to have it delivered and I can deal with a few days delay if it means not having to go in to the store.

    I was the same way about the Walgreens Silver Centurion Iron Man Marvel Legends figure as well but thankfully a friend of mine was able to score one for me and thankful he helped me out on that one.

    Anytime between now and sometime next year, it really depends on how the stock is distributed and how well toys sell at your Walgreens.
