Popped into a Walgreens in Greensboro, NC. They had the whole series. Picked up Rick, Governor and Riot Zombie. Andrea I could care less about. I like Carl, but passed on him for now. Will get him and Gas Mask Zombie at some point down the road. Riot Zombie is by far my fav. The Governor is a great-looking figure. Love the interchangeable heads. Rick leaves a lot to be desired, but I got sucked into the whole exclusive thing. :lol
 
Your right on dot with your numbers, I was very surprised to see only ONE of each zombie PER CASE.... They are by far the best zombie figures made out of all the series since bicycle girl and the fact that there is only one per case makes these even more rare:thud:

I think the reason for this is because in every other series, the zombies definitely didn't sell as quickly as the humans. Can't wait to find these figures.

I think they know by now people want more humans than zombies, but we still want zombies. I figure they'll be 2x each in a normal case with them only being 1 per case in the Walgreens packs (their EX Rick taking up 2 slots).
 
If i remember right it was 2x Carl and 2 of each Prison Walker and 3x Andrea and 3x Governor.
This is UK cases though i also know that Diamond offers out solid cases (12x each character) of Mcfarlane figures to comic book shops.
 
Strange that Walgreens would get double the Carls and half the zombies.

Opened Carl last night. I have to say he has the best likeness in the entire line.
 
Maybe I missed the conversation in this thread (though I did look!) about the 10 inch Daryl figure, but what are people's thoughts on that guy? I preordered mine a while back; I'm excited about it. Looks good.
 
Finally found the sidekick display of Wave 4 at my local Walgreens! It was located in the Halloween aisle and they had multiples of each figure, so I was able to pick and choose for the best paint apps. Still, all of the Carls that they had were polio stricken, so I had to use the boiling water trick to fix his legs. I picked up Carl, Andrea, and the Governor. Guardian is correct in saying, it is really hard to get their weapons in their hands! I also snapped off the Governor's neck peg on the head without the eye patch simply by twisting it! Fortunately I hadn't planned on displaying him with the head, but I still had to dig the broke ball end out of his neck. QC issues aside, I really like these. Surprisingly enough, Carl is my favorite (especially after curing him of his polio)...just wish they had given him his pistol.

Carl after:



And my collection so far:

 
I finally found them at the Walgreens near my house for $13.49. I just got the Rick since I have already paid for my preorders on the others. They had 2 Carls 2 Ricks 2 Gov's 1 Andrea and one of each Zombie. I think the Zombies look the best out of all of them. Really good in this series.
