NICE ! Thanks for the heads-up !
I stopped by a couple Walgreens this weekend, looking mostly for Star Wars 40th Anniversary figures, but didn't spot Sue, so I'm most definitely going to be making multiple visits to various Walgreens over the next few days !

It's been quite a while since I've been so excited about a Legends figure !

Aw man, I LOVE Walgreens !
Back in college, the ones near me were all open 24 hours, so they were my go-to for Red Bull, cigarettes, ahem... prophylactics... , junk food, etc... whenever I needed any of that stuff.

A while ago, a buddy of mine told me that he scored a lot of his hard to find GI Joes there, since so few people, at that time, knew that Walgreens stocked Hasbro stuff. So, when I finally started checking out their toy sections, those stores became a goldmine for me.
In the early days of the 3 3/4" Black Series, it was one of the few places I saw Mara Jade, and the only place I saw Darth Malgus and Darth Plagueis.

I hate to sound like a Walgreens fanboy, but I prefer shopping there over Wal-Mart or Target any day.
The only things I ever buy at Target or Wal-Mart, besides toys, are the occasional Blu-Ray, so whenever I go hunting there, I typically leave empty-handed, and feel like I wasted my time.
At Walgreens, however, if I don't see any figures or Pops that I'm looking for, I can always pick up some energy drinks, snacks, or skincare products (they have an amazing selection of Neutrogena and Burt's Bees skincare stuff at awesome prices !!!), and I don't have to wait in any crazy long lines like at WM or Target.

So yeah... I should probably mention that I don't work for Walgreens, nor am I affiliated with them in any way, lol. I just enjoy shopping there
