The thread has been quiet for a couple of days, so here’s my tale of searching for Mystique. I like many others spend some of my time on a quest when I can in search of that elusive exclusive at Walgreens. Jay Cochran posted on Friday March 15th that the Mystique figure was available again on the Walgreens website, by the time I ventured onto the site it was sold out again but I was able to check locations for stock. I visited one or two locations which were showing 2-5 or 10+. At each store in northern NJ there were zero quantiles of our most coveted shape shifter, but tons of Magik, the previous exclusive. Maybe they show as the same SKU online but I left discouraged. Today as I was running an errand, I went to a location close to my home which online stated that it was out of stock. As I did on my last stops, I asked for assistance and found a supervisor, who told me that he had put some out on Saturday. I had a momentary WTF moment especially after I spoke to another mgr yesterday from the same store who told me that they had never seen to figure before. This mgr offered to check in the back and after five minutes………. (angels singing) he came out with Mystique in hand. The moral here is don’t be discouraged but ask the right person and you might get lucky.

Hasbro has knocked it out of the park with their reveals from 2019 NY Toy Fair. If you are loving the 90's X-Men then you are in heaven with the additions of Colossus and Nightcrawler, to the already known releases of the Professor X in the Riders series and the Caliban wave . Thankfully I was able to have already ordered Prof. X from Dorkside toys, but was late to the game on the Hasbro Pulse site. By the time I went to the site last night, Beast was sold out. My consolation was that Jubilee, Gambit and Forge were still available. Here's to finishing off my X-Men Blue and Gold teams. I went to Amazon and snagged the Magneto, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch 3 PK from Amazon because I have an 1970's Avengers team to fill out. In addition, the 80 years Iron Man, Thor and Captain America figures looked solid as well. As Toy Shiz said, I might have to take out a second mortgage to afford all these figures

Marvel Legends figures are on sale at Walgreens for $15.99 until 12/15.

Magik figures are is stock in northern NJ.
