It sounds like these figures are doing really well! I mean we're all buying a ton, but hearing that you go into your local comic shop and you get the last one! That's pretty exciting! Here's to a long continuation of the line and long lasting sales on all of the figures produced! CHEERS!

Yay! My local comic shop was going to try to get a Transformation Willow and a Regular Willow for me, and they came in today!!! I already have my Doppelgangland Willow, and my Dark Witch Willow should be here by Monday. I'll be sure to post more pictures once I get them!

Add me to the "got a Willow" list! I just called my local comic shop, Things From Another World in Beaverton, OR. They said they had the regular Willow and Doppelgangland. I'm having DoppelWillow held for me and I'll try to post pics when I get it tomorrow afternoon! Hooray! And while I'm out and about tomorrow I think I'll hit the mall to see if any of the outlets like Sam Goody, Suncoast, Media Play or any of the game stores have any in.

Going to my local comic shop today as soon as it opens. I talked to them yesterday, and they had one Reg. Willow left. I'll update this post later!

I had ordered all of the Willows from the toy depot.net back in November but hadn't received anything yet. Yesterday I went into one of the comic book stores and saw Willow and Dopplegangland Willow hanging on the pegs with the old Buffy figures for cheaper than the usual Buffy fig price ($17.99 CDN). I was very surprised. I decided not to buy them, but a few hours later I went to another comic book store and picked them up. They told me that Trans Willow is short-packed and that they sold out of them. They also said they probably weren't able to order any more cases from their Diamond rep. They didn't know about the other Willows. Seems like something strange is happening here in Canada with these figs - but I'm excited that they showed up at all! I emailed the toy depot to change my order to just Dark Witch and Trans Willow. Now I need to figure out how to get a carded White Witch. Any suggestions?

MKBuffy and I went to the 2 local comic shops in Modesto and found Dopplegangland, Transformation, and Season 5 Willows at both. One was selling them for $11.18! I had to snatch one of each up to open. I couldn't sit and wait for the preorders to come in. They look amazing. I can't believe less than a year ago we weren't going to get anymore Buffy figures and now we have them!!!

Got a Willow! The last one my comic shop had. It's a regular, and I love it!

I'm pleased to report I am the new owner of a Dopplegangland Willow! Woohoo! Not the best picture, but there she is and she's all mine!!! Now I have to open it! I'll try to get some good pictures later. I was so excited when I got this today, I was talking to the guy at the comic shop and it turns out he collects some of the Buffy figures too. We got talking about them and I made him envious with my boast of owning a Bunny Anya, and he started talking about the Dingoes Toy Fair Willow and he had one behind the counter! I actually got to look at it and touch it!(still in the bag, of course) I was like, "wow, I've never seen one in person! So that was my thrill of the day. Now I want one even more! I think he said he got his on Ebay for $129.99 buy-it-now. And I should be able to procure a regular Willow for myself on Monday. *Happy dance!* Now if I only knew when my MAC order is gonna ship, I'd be a happy customer.

I'm up to 5 now, counting my pre-prod WWW. I picked up Regular, Transformation, and Doppelgangland Willow at the aforementioned DreamStrands Comics in Seattle. They were set aside for me. Dark Witch Willow arrived in the mail today from Cinequest. Now all I need is a Vamp Willow to have at least one version of each. Why didn't I send in my Toyfare order? I've got a spellbook on order. Hopefully I can pick up a carded version too. Transformation's my favorite so far. Dark is a close second.

Aww yeah! Just today I bought regular Willow at Newbury Comics and she's just...amazing. The moment I pushed back all the plastic restraints, she just slipped right out on to my hand and I haven't stopped playing with her since. I'm going to get Dark Willow and Dopplegangland Willow via FedEX around monday and I still have to order Vampire Willow, WWWillow, and Transformation Willow which has become REALLY rare for some reason. By about Thursday, I'll also have 12" Buffy and Angel. THIS IS THE BEST WEEK EVER!

They had regular Willow and Dopplegangland Willow but it looked like a few figures before that were taken before I came so Transformation Willow may haqve been there.

I just checked out the Fresh Pond Newbury Comics and the Newton Newbury Comics.
Fresh Pond Newbury Comics has a couple regular Willows, and two ruined Dopplegangers - ruined because there is black ink spilled on both of their necks and chest. They have one Transformation Willow there that looks good.
Newton Newbury Comics doesn't have any Willow figures at all.

Wow...the dopples at my comic shop had that problem, too (I'm using it for a custom anyway). The guy said he called DST but they never heard of any others...hm.
