It's coming. Revenge of the Sith fever is about to take over the world. Wal-Mart is gearing up for the festivities and here's a rundown of what fans can expect during "48 Hours of the Force" promotion. There will be a HUGE selection of Revenge of the Sith merchandise available at 12:01am April 2nd.
We've already gotten a glimpse at the POP displays from the Event Playbook, which will feature lava-themed security shrouds, signs, a special Darth Vader standee for photo opportunities, and pallet displays!
But wait, there's more! We've gotten word that 400 select Wal-Marts across the country will have a large 30' x 60' tent in the parking lot filled with Star Wars "48 Hours of the Force" promotions.
Look for members of the 501st decked out in costume, photo opportunities for kids, a LEGO mural building event, and lava blasts everywhere.
Each store should be getting 20 pallets of merchandise, so there whould be plenty for everyone.
But what about exclusives? We've gotten word that Wal-mart will have some kind of "Early Bird" figure set, reminiscent of the Vintage promotion with certificates and dioramas. Not much more is known on this yet --so consider this a rumor for now-- but expect an official announcement very soon.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
