I have read all kinds of interesting things about this one from our friends at different sites this morning. Let me give you a run down of the latest news:
http://banthaskull.com/story/news_potential_walgreens_fett_release_date_revealedAccording to a Walgreens associate, their store is due to stock the exclusive Black Series 6” Prototype Boba Fett on 9/2/2014. He also confirmed the $19.99 price. But there is a caveat. This associate works at a store in Alaska. It is not known if this is specific to that one store or chain-wide. Regardless this should give you a rough estimate of when to start stalking your local pharmacy which will soon learn to regret inviting the locust swarm of adult collectors!
http://jediinsider.com/index.php?catid=8&itemid=15568Following the news from the other day about Hasbro releasing a Walgreens exclusive 6" The Black Series Boba Fett in prototype armor figure next month, we now have some more details to share with you. Like with Hasbro's Marvel Legends Agent Venom figure which will also be a Walgreens exclusive, Boba Fett will ship in a special assortment of Black Series figures exclusive to the drugstore retail chain. The figures that will be shipping in this exclusive assortment with the Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) will be re-releases of the following:
- Episode VI Jedi Luke
- Sandtrooper
- Stormtrooper
- Darth Vader
Except for Boba Fett, these figures will see a general release at other retail outlets. The Walgreens assortment should start hitting shelves on or around August 27, 2015 and Hasbro will be initiating some kind of pre-order for Boba Fett during Comic-Con later this month. Hasbro tells us they will officially be revealing the details on how the whole pre-order thing will work as we get closer to the convention which begins on July 23.
According to an article by the Examiner, Walgreens will also be getting an exclusive My Little Pony figure along with Venom and Boba Fett, and in that article it says folks attending Comic-Con will be able to pre-order the My Little Pony figure via a QR code at the Hasbro Booth, which will direct fans to the Walgreens webiste for pre-orders. All pre-orders will ship by September 15. Though not yet confirmed by Hasbro it would seem logical for them to use the same method for both Boba Fett and Agent Venom as well.
http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/content/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=13814The Walgreens exclusive The Black Series 6" Protoype Boba Fett figure is arriving this Monday, July 7th? Well, that's what the latest screen print of Walgreen's inventory states.
http://yakfaceforums.com/main/2014/07/02/potential-answers-to-ordering-the-walgreens-exclusive-prototype-boba-fett/SDCC attendees will get access to the pre-order via a QR code available at Hasbro’s booth (#3329). The general pre-order will go live after SDCC on Sept. 1 and orders will ship by mid-Sept. Again, this is using the My Little Pony example, but presumably, the Prototype Fett would follow a similar if not identical system.
http://www.examiner.com/article/exclusive-reveal-hasbro-to-introduce-new-my-little-pony-at-comic-conAfter the introduction at San Diego Comic-Con, the figure will be available exclusively at Walgreens and at Walgreens.com beginning September 1. Fans attending the convention can pre-order this figure via a QR code at the Hasbro Booth, which will direct fans to the Walgreens webiste for pre-orders. All pre-orders will ship by September 15.
