It’s been a busy week for tech toys and gadgets enthusiasts. The new Star Wars movie marketing push has begun in earnest and that includes merchandise and gizmos, namely the Sphero BB-8, beloved new droid in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Also announced were the latest and greatest from tech giant Apple. The timing of these notifications also signals the start of the holiday shopping season. Yes, it’s true, only 16 more weekends until Christmas [insert internal primal scream here].

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Toys arrive for Force Friday

The build up to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has already begun. That now includes the tidal wave of movie related toys. Today marks “Force Friday”,an ingenious marketing ploy which counted down the official release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens toy merchandise on September 4, 2015. Unboxing events were held for the media throughout the country starting on the Thursday September 3rd but for the general public, the true fans, the fun began at midnight September 4th. I’m personally a lifelong fan of Star Wars so when a buddy of mine from the 501st legion tipped me off to a special local event at a Toys R Us in White Plains NY, I couldn’t resist.
