A few days ago Entertainment Weekly gave us an exclusive first look at some of the new Star Wars merchandise that will be hitting stores in the lead-up to The Force Awakens. The preview featured three products: Lego's Buildable First Order Stormtrooper, Hasbro's First Order Stormtrooper 6-Inch Figure, and Mattel's First Order Stormtrooper Hot Wheels vehicle.

It's awesome to be getting a sneak-peak at what we can expect to see in the coming months, and this preview really shows the diversity of products that'll be accompanying the release of the new film. Nevertheless, I'll be passing on all of the above. There's going to be an enormous amount of The Force Awakens collectibles hitting stores - and collecting everything is going to be next to impossible. With that in mind, it seems that a focussed approach is going to be best. I've always had a strong collecting focus on 3 3/4" figures and miniature starships, so that's where my concentration will be. Now I can't wait to see what Disney has in store for these lines!
