Anyway, when I went to the Walgreens I found a baffling number of the costumed Namor figures at the various Walgreens. Like, A TON. I think I counted around 7 at one store alone. Odlly enought they all had the same amount of dust on them. With that said, what's the deal with how these figures are distributed? Is there like a local distribution center for all the various stores within a certain mile radius? I also found a crap ton of Black Ants and Yellow Daredevils at the various Walgreens as well.

Anyway, it was a good day. Grabbed Nightcrawler, Sinister, and X-Force Wolverine.

Regarding your Walgreens' clogging figures, it's really just that they were all Walgreens exclusives. So whenever they got them in they probably got in more than one case of each which means they had like 12 or so of just that Namor at one point and since it wasn't a figure a lot of people wanted they've just been sitting there gathering dust ever since. There isn't a single facility which doles out all Hasbro product for the area, rather each store has its own warehouses and distribution centers which is also why not every store is equally caught up on what's new. It's not uncommon though to see a lot of a store exclusive peg-warming at multiple locations because they get those in cases of nothing but that exclusive, and then at Walgreens they can stick around for years because they rarely ever clearance them out.
