They have released the first set of Road to Celebration pins. Quite cute, but I'm not into pins at all so I will give them a pass.
Really liking the style this year. Normally I just pick up a few of my favorite characters, probably do the same this year.
These are cute. Might pick up one set. Pins aren't my main collecting thing. Excited to see more merch reveals!
Information about lightspeed lane in the celebration store and funko pop is now up - https://www.starwarscelebration.com/en-us/explore-the-show/LIGHTSPEED-Lane-Reservations.html Basically for Celebration Store the reservations will open March 23 and for the Funko booth March 29. Reservations will need to be made before Celebration starts, so I assume that they will close the reservations when they are full.
Does the lightspeed lane / store need to be booked by 21st or will it be possible to book it after? I'm having issues activating my badge so I can't check. I emailed RP, but haven't heard back yet. Edit: I think I replied to the wrong thread initially.
Lightspeed Lane for store opens March 23 at 4pm UK time. I'd book asap as I expect slots will go fast. You don't need to activate your badge to reserve lightspeed lane, just need to confirmation number from when you bought your ticket.
Missed it, but I guess there will be slots for queuing up, since I couldn't see many slots of Saturday and none for Sunday.

Pieces will be given out across the four days. Hit the link for the story and a pic on TFN Main!
And the preview of the official store merch is up: https://www.starwarscelebration.com/en-us/merchandise.html Not impressed, so I am not sad that I didn't get a lightspeed reservation. Only three women's tee shirt options, and the only one I am slightly interested in is the Daughter of Ferrik, and it's not a must-have thing for me, more of a "that would be fun".
What a missed opportunity not to make a Maarva Andor brick plushie! Not much that interests me, but if I get in, I'll go for the Daughters of Ferrix shirt.
Just a note for non-UK folks who might be planning on buying merch and shipping it home - Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays here so there won't be any Royal Mail service. If you are using a parcel company (Fed Ex, DHL, etc) you might want to check on what services are available on those days. The Saturday before Easter is a regular day as far as Royal Mail is concerned.
If I were there, I would pick up the squooshie set, glassware, pins and patches, a couple of T-shirts and that tea set and all things Mandalorian.

Probably just a few shirts for me this year, maybe the Light vs Dark pin set. Was hoping we'd get a plush Nubs in the store but too early for that I guess.
Hi - I went to the store today. I hadn't gotten a lightspeed lane time to shop in the store. So I waited until today. It was a good decision as I waited only 10 minutes and I got what I wanted: the guide and logo magnet, but I also bought a Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary. I got the other merch as pre-order: logo shirt, key art shirt, logo patch, pin and lanyard. I was surprised that there wasn't a key art magnet. In California last year, there was a key art magnet but no logo magnet. Unless it sold out before I went.
I absolutely love the souvenir jacket I got for ROTJ’s 40th. Sadly they were all out of mediums so had to settle for a large, which still fits me decently. Regretting not deciding esrlier.
There was a key art magnet. It was behind the counter at checkout. But there's always a chance they didn't have any out when you were there as I didn't see it on Saturday and had to ask for it on Sunday.
