My Suncoast finally had some Willows. They had 3 regular Willows left; I bought one (yay for a snow day from work!), and a kid saw the other two on the wall, picked one up, and showed it to his older brother (I'm assuming). He may have bought it after I left. Didn't really seem like he knew that the figure was available before he saw it.

I went to Mediaplay today. They had a four or five Regular Willows, 3 Transformation Willow, and 1 Dopplegang Willow. I picked up one of each. I love them all. Now I just need to get my hands on a Dark Willow and a Vampire Willow. Too bad Media Play doesn't carry them.

Huzzah! I stopped at Tower on my way to work this morning...(the fourth time in two weeks)...and low and behold there was a ray of sunlight through the window which reflected off a plastic bubble like a rainbow...I squinted at the majesty of the moment! And there, upon the hanger was a fresh new Transformation willow for the low low price of 12.99. Good Goddess Above! She and another regular willow are safely nestled in my car... I am a very happy addict today!

i went to media play on sunday and got a regular willow! i had been calling media play and suncoast sence march 2nd, every day! i know that seems a bit obsessive but every time i called they said to call back tomorow and mabie they will have unpacked the boxes and such! every time i called they acted as if they never even heard of buffy, let alone buffy figures. i decided to just go there and try my luck! well...media play had atleast 7 season 5 willows and suncoast had a total of 23 figures, a few of each of the willows! and get this...the cashier at media play said to the cashier..."the cat is out of the bag, there goes my collection!"!!!! i was so angry. it would appear that they have been lying to me over the phone. i am going to call back today and ask them if they have any buffy figures, just to see what they have to say! i was soooo PISSED ;D

I stopped in at my Media Play this evening (expecting to still find nothing), and they finally had them in stock! They didn't have many left, though. There were 3 regular Willows and, hidden behind them, 1 Transformation Willow. I picked the regular Willow with the best paint job: one of them had a smudged nose and another one just looked really goofy for some reason -- I think maybe it was the eyes. Trans Willow was, fortunately, perfect.

hi, new here. HUGE buffy fan i work at a suncoast in nj and we got something like 2 dopp willows, 2 transformation willows and 4 regular willows last thursday. our computer does say april 18th for a release on these. not sure why....next time i work i'm gonna try and order another case but our system is usually EXTREMELY unreliable with this kind of stuff. anyway, i'm sooo happy with these three figures (only 8.99 with my empl discount ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) and I was just wondering if anyone could provide me with info on the other three willows. I REALLLY want that white witch willow but i don't want to pay the ebay prices. they all say "preproduction" so does that mean it will eventually be regular release figure? not so limited? i'd like to see it on a regular card like the others not some plain ugly white box same with dark witch and vamp willows? i don't understand the logic of releasing 6 figures in your first wave and making three of those very limited/exclusive. and HI to everyone ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

This set (which you can look at online at http://www.timeandspacetoys.com) will contain a blood-spattered Vampire Willow, a fully-articulated White Witch Willow (vs. the preproduction, which has limited articulation), and a Dark Witch Willow with a green flame (vs. the cinequest.com exclusive, which has a blue flame). So there's a good chance you could pick all three up with your employee discount in May. :)#nosmileys

ohhh!! that's GREAT news!!! i hadn't heard of this spellbook until I did a little research on WWW. I'll be keeping a close eye out for it. I thought it was another stupid online exclusive. I'd love to see WWW on one of the regular cards tho. i think they are really neat looking with the raised logo and willow sitting next to it.

Transformation is now in stock at Towerrecords.com.

I found Willow, Dopp. Willow and Transformation Willow at Suncoast today.
I bought Willow, the worst sculpt but the best representation of the character in my opinion (the best sculpt is Dark Witch, but a toy of a woman whose soul mate was just murdered is a bit depressing to me.)
Put her in my jacket pocket for the drive home, pulled her out, and the paint is gone from the tip of her nose.
D'oh!
I'll try some touching up, but I have done very little in the way of customizing, so I am not optimistic.

My cousin Chelsea and I cleaned out the Suncoast by us. We went there on Saturday and bought six Willows. Three for each of us, one of every Willow!
She had never seen them before so she was all, "Oh my god! Oh my god!" everytime she grabbed one. It was pretty funny, and made a few people go look at the two leftovers when we left. hehe.

My Suncoast never has action figures, I don't think they're even going to get any Willows in. On the upside, I was there today and they are having the buy one get one half off manga sale, so I scored big-time there. But no Willows. :' ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png)
