    Naturally there's going to be a restaurant tie-in, and it was just announced that it'll be Denny's (here in the U.S.).

    Denny's used to be ubiquitous in my area (Heck, growing up my Mom managed one), but they've sorta disappeared here over the years and doing a search looks like the closest one is nearly 40 miles away. This is despite a steady expansion in recent years (according to Wikipedia). Looks like there are 36 locations here in Ohio, but they're all North of Columbus. Anywho, here's a commercial for the tie-ins.



    I've no interest in the merch, but this just made me realize I'd really like to have me some Denny's...

    I'm not really interested in the Denny's merch other than maybe the poster and the trading cards. I don't have any room for kiddie styled cups.

    We used to eat at Dennys when my family vacationed in Florida. We didn't have any nearby where we lived as kids

    It's weird to me that Denny's has continued to expand over the years, w/1,700 locations now according to its Wiki, and yet where they were ubiquitous in Central and Southern Ohio in the 70s/80s/90s they've all but disappeared below the Columbus area. It's one of those things where I try not to eat out much anymore (thank you middle age), but there's something... comforting about seeing those familiar, iconic restaurants (and stores for that matter).

    I couldn't find anything about an international restaurant/food tie-in promotion. I know skimming its Wiki Denny's has expanded outside of North America, even opening a location in the UK (Swansea) late last year. Whether or not this promotion will carry over to those various international locations I'm not sure.

    Spotted some of the Solo action figure two packs at a local Target yesterday along with some of the new vintage collection figures. Tried to buy some of them but the checkouts would not let them ring up and they're embargoed until April 20th.

    Kind of ironic that Hasbro doesn't want to make any green until 4/20.

    The fanfare surrounding the merchandise release is certainly subdued on this one. I suppose we can chalk some of that up to no TRU, thus no "Midnight madness". Heck, for TLJ my local Wal-Mart dropped a couple of 1/4 pallets and called it a day.

    I've no interest in Solo stuff, but it'd be lovely to actually find new 6" Black Series figures on the pegs for a change.

    That, and there's been no official word from Hasbro despite it being practically two weeks away. At this point almost all of the merch has leaked it feels like. They're trying their best to make sure there's as little hype for Solo as possible.

    That sucks. My Target did that with a couple of the new books and I complained about people not reading the street date on the box. They apparently took it to heart because there was no sign of Solo at mine yesterday.

    That doesn't even include the exclusives either. Looks like nine separate exclusives too.

    I really really like the Funkos for this film. A mighty need is building to collect them all.

    There is one coming out. I saw pictures of it today in one of the articles listing all the new merch coming out this weekend. It was on twitter too.

    My searches only turned up stories from various sites saying there's been nothing announced, so my guess is no midnight events. I wager even fans going to 24 hour Wal-Mart stores aren't going to see any coordinated efforts, and might have to ask an associate to bring product from the back, but Wally World would likely be your best bet. I'm gonna wait and swing by in the AM around 5 or so and see if anything is out. Only want a few of the 6" Black Series (Tarkin, Death Star Gunner, 4-LOM). Nothing I wanna venture out @ midnight w/the Wally World denizens for.

    I really want to grab the Funkos but according to a DCPI search my local Target doesn't even have them. I guess my local stores are really sticking to the 20th rather than the rumored availability for tomorrow. I should have ordered them from EE yesterday when they were all available.

    Made a few runs around midnight Thursday and saw nothing except got to open a box of Galactic Heroes with new Solo figs inside. Friday morning managed a 6" Tarkin and Range Trooper for $5 at Wal-Mart then after about 7 stores of 0 scored huge at a Target that had everything out. Solo 3.75, 6 inch B'S, VC Rebel Soldier and two packs, Han Solo Speeder, Efnys Nests Speeder, Luke with Wampa!!

    I found the card game this past weekend at a Game Stop and that is the only place I have ever seen it on the shelf.

    Also managed to snag myself a Furreal Friends Co Pilot Chewie!!
