“Over the course of 18 hours, some of Maker Studios’ biggest stars will each be unboxing a new toy from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens product line in a different city around the world and sharing the experience live on YouTube,” said Leslie Ferraro, President, Disney Consumer Products. “We’ve seen tremendous excitement for these new products and can’t wait to see the global reaction from the Star Wars fan community.”

I want to buy some plastic, right now. I just need to clear some shelf space first…
First on my list: The new X-Wing Miniatures Game Core Set from Fantasy Flight Games!
Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!
Wait, I’m confused, can’t you purchase that now? Or are they re-releasing a new core set?
I’ll be getting the First Order black series figures…Ren…troopers…Phasma etc… and I guess I’ll need to get my 6-yr-old a few of the 3.75″ figures as well. 🙂
I need to get them for my inner 6 year old. 🙂 Can’t wait!
Will ther be trailer od footage
My wallet, OMG MY WALLET!!! To eat or buy SW figures. Hmmm…
The geography on that map is a little off XD Looking forward to reading aftermath.
Some people are too lucky with a first exclusive hands on. But then again its better they do it and not me. If I was first to get my hands on the action figure toys I would probably try put it up my bum.
Let’s not forget the fact that we Australians will also get to be the first to unbox the actual movie when it comes out 😛
Sorry mate, we South Africans will get to
” unbox ” the actual movie first. = P
Proof:

The movie opens in UAE December 15th, so i am sad to tell you that you are wrong. Norway gets it December 16th, and that makes me a happy camper since i am norwegian 🙂
when exactly? In Italy we’ll have the movie december 16 😀
I don’t think so.. I think the world premiere will defenitely take place in the US.
If a pirate copy leaks out somewhere. Or someone cams it anyone will be the first to see it.
So it will actually start on September 2nd for the US. Sweet!
I think the article and the title could be a little more clear that it is September 3rd Australian time and the 2nd in other zones. This could get confusing.
I might go just to share the experience, but doubt I’ll get anything. Not impressed at all with the quality of what has been shown, especially for the prices they put on them these days.
I’m going to get a bit of everything, but
I’m more of a lego set collector and I’m really looking forward to getting these new
sets.
I love Star Wars toys but we do have a world wide plastic trash epidemic.
As long as we are having a good time nothing else really matters. Sad truth.
Last I heard Justin bieber himself will be actually opening the kylo ren toy.
Oh I swear to god I’m just so happy to be alive at this time – big smiley face 🙂
Lol oh haha omg I will be watching this glued to see what other celebrity will do this.
I mean who the heck will be opening the Han Solo – aaaaaargh I just can’t take it.
Golly this sounds like fun.
Black Series Luke’s Force FX ANH lighsaber. I’m coming baby!
Huge hopes that on Force Friday we will also get Kylo Ren BS Force FX.
