What about for US only stores like Target or walgreens? do those get picked up here? and how would we know who here gets the exclusive?
Target usually ends up at Toys R Us

Walgreens ends up at GameStop Canada (formerly EB Games)

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Target = Toys R Us.
Walgreens and Gamestop US = Gamestop Canada.

Generally speaking. There are always anomolies.

We really need an FAQ, as these questions keep coming up.

It isn’t a rock-solid science, but generally here is how it goes:

-Target Exclusives are available through Toys R Us, often in low quantities

-Walgreens Exclusives are through GameStop, sometimes TrU

-Walmart, GameStop, and Bestbuy Exclusives are through their Canadian stores

It is important to note that some exclusives never really came to Canada, at least in widespread release. The original Black Series Shocktrooper, the normal Shore Trooper, the carbonized Jet Trooper, and spirit Yoda are a few that come to mind, and they were all Walmart Exclusives, of course!

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

See, now we have three posts saying the exact same thing. Can we please get a proper FAQ going? I hope the Mods are listening.

If you create the FAQ thread in the Action Figure General Discussion Forum we will be happy to stick it to the top!
