It's back to school season, and this year stores are packed with all kinds of Star Wars-themed supplies. Thanks to my amazing partner, I now have a few of these items to add to my collection - including three different stationary sets, a backpack, and a lunchbox.
The stationary sets focus on characters and vehicles from the first six films, while the backpack and lunchbox are exclusively themed to The Force Awakens. The latter both feature images of the new antagonist, Kylo Ren, and make a really great set together. There's also a nice amount of variety across the three stationary sets. The "3D Pencil Pack" comes with a Death Star pencil sharpener, a TIE Fighter eraser, and four Darth Vader pencils; while the "Pencil Pack" comes with a Darth Vader pencil sharpener, two 'grippers', and six pencils that bear the same character pattern seen on the ruler I received for Christmas. The third set is entirely different - containing six colouring pencils ingeniously designed to resemble double-ended lightsabers. These products are all available at a number of New Zealand retailers including Farmers, The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationary, Whitcoulls, and New World supermarkets.
Call it bad timing, but when I was in school Star Wars-themed products like this were few and far between. With these, however, I'll be able to make up for lost time!
