Hit a second Fry's today to find a second Mola. For those trying to find these - look everywhere in the store. My wife had to ask customer service where to find them in one store, and the store I checked did not have them in either of the two Christmas sections OR in toys. They were located one aisle over in a standing display.

I can't guarantee when I will hit Fry's again this week, but I will try to pick up some figures for others if I can.

Yeah, I can't emphasize that strongly enough. These figures that I found were categorically NOT in the toy aisle. They were in a free-standing display elsewhere in the store. A second Fry's that I visited didn't have the Temple of Doom assortment, but they did have some Indy figures, but again, NOT in the toy section. They were on a metal peg rack near the frozen foods department!

I'll see what I can round up as I'm able, but lacking a car and with not a lot of Fry's in my immediate bus/walking route, I'm pretty limited on this one. A friend of mine and I got together -- who has a car but it needs to be taken in for some work -- and that's the only reason I was able to get to some Fry's. So I doubt I'm going to be able to be of much help on this one. :-(

This was a great tip. My Kroger has them. The tag is marked "Drug/GM", and they were near the drug department. Specifically they were by the magazine section.

Yeah, same price tag wording at the Fry's, "Drug/GM". Which if nothing else probably means they can put 'em wherever they darn well please.

Do those drug stores have a web site ?

I don't have either of those anywhere near me.

I'm sure they do, but I don't know if they take orders online or not. Kroger is a grocery store, which really makes it weird. I never would have looked there without the heads up. Especially since I do check their toy aisle (this was nowhere nearby). I did find the star wars comic pack there with the red armored imperial knights (don't know their names sorry). Point is, I always check for scores in their 3 foot by 1 foot "toy aisle" lol.

Can anyone help me out?

I need 1 each of Mola Ram, Willy, Short Round and the Head Temple Thug and I need 6 of the Temple Guards (or whatever they are called). Also still need a Col. Vogel and an Elsa if they are in the same assortment.

Will pay cost + shipping (figures can be removed from packaging to save on shipping) as well as throw in a decent amount of stuff (your choice) from the Swap Shop.

Fry's is also a Grocery Store, same as Kroger, but with a pharmacy department. The price was also $6.99, although the figures rang up at $7.99 and I had to raise a bit of a ruckus about that (probably what I get for using the Self Check-Out).

Regarding Colonel Vogel and Elsa, they're not in the same assortment, nor did I see them at Fry's. The only other assortment I saw there seemed to be the same one everyone else has, that's loaded down with Mutt Williams.

I hope someone out there can help. If I had the transportation means, I'd gladly scour this town's Fry's. I feel rather badly that I put out this tip and I can't really do much about it. :-(

I've already helped out one of our mates from this thread, and I'm seeing what I can do for another. But the supply was pretty limited at my Kroger.

It's funny how much the set up is the same at these stores. You might have mentioned it, but it sounds like they are the same chain, just named differently throughout the states. Anyway, the first couple figs I bought for myself actually rang up less than $6.99, so I was "hopeful" that there was a sale. But when I went back later, they all rang up at $6.99. Actually, one didn't ring up at all, but they just punched it in to match the others at that price.

Are there any reports of these showing up at the other stores in the Frys/Kroger family?
