I wonder what this might mean for Walgreens as a toy retailer further down the line, and what kind of effect this might have on their exclusives (or the future amount they receive) in the upcoming future.

Interesting news. I hope whatever Walgreens and Hasbro have lined up already continues through 2020 at least. I suspect - and this is just speculation - but most of the "waves" of X-men be it 1 or 2 waves will be A0A focused. I'm not including Deadpool wave in that. But given we've been seeing an X-Woman line from Walgreens, I was kind of hoping we'd see at least FA Storm, Deathstrike and Shadowcat from them next year, or at VERY least FA Storm. I know a lot of fans myself including would be unhappy to have to wait yet another year for her.
