I'm having problems finding them here in Southeastern PA.

I have hit two 24 hour Walgreens repeatedly near me with no luck.

I know what the 4562 box looks like, but where in the store are the sets
usually placed? Toy aisle? Seasonal? Up high? Down low?

I did see a few "3 / $12" shelf tags. And some toy stock was in yellow
display boxes with "Mix & Match 3 / $12" printed on them. But no 4562.

Bummer.

What ones?  I went to a couple today and had nothing.

Try waiting a few days, they probably will get more. Walgreens uses automated
replenishment (we were told by some store managers) so stores that had a lot
taken quickly should get a large quantity as replacements.

For instance, Kim Toll, Frank Filz and I took 31 out of the Lake Tapps Rd
location, that should be one that sees a lot more come in, theoretically.

If you can find out what day they get replenished, that would be a good day to
hit them.

In some Walgreens in the NW - I came across 3 that were small enough that they
did not stock a large toy section. In all cases like this they had none.

A few had them on endcaps, but mostly on the upper top of shelves, or wherever
the 3 for $11.98 section is.

I asked one store manager if they would be receiving more. The response was that
once these sold out that would be it. The 3 for $12 would run until they were
out of items in that bracket and they would not necessarily get more. I guess
that would depend on the location. (re: what Larry said above)

In one store, a fairly new one and quite large, they had none and didn't even
know what I was talking about. They responded that they had "everythign they got
out already" So go figure.
