Thread: Seeking Walgreens jack-in-the-box

Tweet

If anyone has an extra Jack, I'd love to get my hands on one. I've gone to 8 different Walgreens in my area, and none of them carry it (most aren't even familiar with it). Please PM me if you've got one (I'll gladly pay retail + shipping + a little extra for my gratitude).

I went to Walgreens near me and the had two Janes and one jack if someone wants me to pick them one up I will go back and see if they are still there.

I stopped by the closest Walgreens and found two Jacks, but the handle sticks when you turn it. They still work, but, the handle doesn't rotate smoothly. The crank doesn't operate a music cylinder like a classic music box. Instead, the box is battery operated and the crank just turns it on.

If someone wants one just tell me and I'll pick one up.
They retail for 14.99 + tax.

I have a couple of walgreens by me and as of 2 days ago both had 3-5 of each of these on the shelves.. If needed I can pickup and ship. can be paid via paypal. leave me a message if you need/want me to look for you.

I stopped by a couple of Walgreens today and saw 1 jack and 3 janes. I liked the classic sound of the crank that the Jack makes so I bought it. The janes didn't make that sound so I wasn't sure if it was broken or just different. So I just checked youtube and it's just different. So I'll probably go back soon and get a Jane. If anyone else needs help getting one let me know.

Also Walgreens is having a sale of many full size candy bars 29 cents each. The only thing better i've seen is 25 cents each occasionally at farm and fleet. So we stocked up on them for the tots.

How much does it stick? I have a jack and jane. The jane's handle is perfectly smooth, but the Jack's has a slight feedback point at a particular angle. I think it's normal variation, and not the kind of thing that would stop someone from continuing to crank the handle.

I found one this year at my local Walgreens, but even 15 seemed a little high to me...if I had only known! I looked on Ebay that night and found them going for 75$!! The next day I went back and of course it was gone! I have been hunting ever since and have had no luck; if anyone has one I would love to buy it!
