I have little to no interest in Daredevil, and will most likely not be picking up this figure or wave (whichever it turns out to be), so I probably shouldn't even be butting into this thread, but unlike so many others, I've actually had a good experience finding Hasbro's Walgreens exclusives, and personally, I hope that Hasbro continues that trend.

Granted, I think that a full wave of Legends exclusive to Walgreens is a little excessive. Walgreens doesn't seem ready for something that ambitious at this point.

But anyways, in my area, I spotted numerous Agent Venoms and quite a few Prototype Boba Fetts. Sure, those Boba Fetts took a while to finally show up here, but once they finally arrived back in October, they weren't too tough to find.
I even had a Walgreens employee offer to take my name and number to call me once the Boba Fetts arrived. I've never experienced that at Target, TrU, or especially Wal-Mart.

And speaking of those stores, after Toys R Us disappointed so many people with their poor handling of the recent X-Men Legends wave, and with so many of us having to rely on just a single TrU in our towns (along with TrU stores just being overall disappointing in general these days), I cringe at the thought of them carrying any sort of exclusive figures or set. I still haven't spotted the SHIELD set in my area

.
Also, I absolutely hate going to Wal-Mart, so any time I can skip those stores while hunting an exclusive is a relief to me.
Truthfully, I really can't find any fault (lately) in Target's handling of Hasbro's exclusive stuff, since I spotted many of the recent Legends 3-Packs and SW Black Shadow Trooper sets. That being said, I have two Targets in my city, while most are lucky to have one. With Walgreens, however, the sheer number of locations greatly increases the odds of spotting exclusive figures.

I'm not trying to negate anyone else's experience or opinion concerning the Walgreens exclusives, but personally, I like the practice, and I hope that Hasbro and Walgreens continue with these exclusive single figures.
