It DOES make the U.S. a little more appealing, though, doesn’t it?

Level with me. Where would I find these figures in walgreens? I checked two stores, asked both managers, and both said that they had never heard of them.
If I were to get to a walgreens that had them, would they be in toys? Up near the front?

They would be in toys. There should be large triangular signs hanging from the ceiling. Try checking under the one that says “Toys”.
At least, that’s where they’ve been to my experience. ;D
Yes, they will be in the toys aisle. I found two MC’s yesterday. Stocker kid just set them down. He also showed the little computer that said they only ordered two.
I was surprised on how small the package was. So be on the lookout for a small one.
We have 5 right around me and I have learned this: don’t call there that road only leads to frustration. Ask them to order more for you. I have twelve coming in next week from two different stores.
BE AWARE!
The codes are at the bottom in an insert. They can easily be extracted with minimal damage to the card. Make sure the code is there. Shady eBay kids lurk everywhere.

Cio is on the receipt!
Most of the stores, the clerk said wont be stocking them. Seems like misinformation to me.

Nope. Online only. Sorry about that. However, I believe that is the purple CIO, and not the other? ;D

No matter, i will be on the lookout at all the walgreens, swooping them up as soon as they hit the shelves.
I’ve been to all the local Walgreens in the area. None have even HEARD of these toys being released/Walgreens exclusive. |: Most of the employees don’t even know they stock Halo-anything.
> Does anyone know if they are working on any new Warrior or ODST figures?
Unfortunately, only McFarlane knows, at the moment. ;D
> I’m quite sad I didn’t get to buy a Zealot or a Knight before they got snatched up…I don’t want the same thing to happen with series 2.
That’s a bummer. I think my local Fred Meyer still has a Zealot, but that was a while ago.
> I can’t even pick up the Walgreens figure because I don’t live in the U.S.
>
> Luckily for me, my friend is shipping me one as a birthday present
Really? I thought you did? Oh well, not that it matters. Good luck with the Walgreens fig. ;D

Wow. That’s a bummer. Oh well. I know they will show up. Series 2 just got released! ;D
Right now it appears that the walgreens stores are just getting them in. They receive trucks every wednesday, so by thursday they should be on the shelves. Also ask the manager to get them for you and they will hold them once they come in. So far I have been in three walgreens back areas cutting open boxes, lol. If you can find that one guy who works there that is a collector as well, you will get the hook up!
