Unofficial Force Friday Product Checklist
On Friday, Sept. 4 at 12:01 am in your time zone Force Friday begins!
This event is the worldwide launch of new Star Wars toys and collectibles for the upcoming film: Star Wars: The Force Awakens. New products from Hasbro, LEGO, Mattel, Funko and others will be officially for sale at midnight store openings around the globe.
While Lucasfilm has been heavily promoting this event with YouTube tie-ins and events at Toys”R”Us in Times Square, they are less forthcoming with what new toys will be available. Only three days away from the massive shopping event most collectors only know what to expect on shelves through various leaks online.
Until now.
A coalition of Star Wars collecting fan sites have joined Forces to compile all known releases into the Force Friday Product Checklist.
The sites that contributed are Boba Fett Fan Club, Idle Hands, Jedi News, Jedi Temple Archives, Mint In Box, Star Wars Action News, Teekay-421 and Yakface.
So prepare your Friday shopping spree, download the Force Friday Product Checklist! Be sure to check back as the list will be revised as new items are revealed up until Force Friday.
Thanks to everyone that helped make this list possible, especially those fans that read our respective sites.

New TRU 6″ Black Series Exclusive Rumor
JediInsider has posted a rumor of another potential exclusive item heading to Toys”R”Us for Force Friday. They claim the discovery of a 6″ Black Series Special Forces Desert TIE Fighter with Pilot – a deco variant of the 6″ scale TIE Fighter revealed at SDCC last month.
Target Clearances
As you are likely aware, Target stores are marking down basically everything in their older Star Wars inventory prior to the Force Friday launch September 4.
Some stuff is down 50% now, including the 6″ scale deluxes at some stores for just $12.48 per forum member TVC15’s report (recall Target lowered the everyday price on these a while back once it became apparent that there wasn’t enough demand to move them at full retail of $39.99).
Personal Note: If you’ve been holding out on these, the 6″ deluxes are pretty good, so passing on this price could lead to regret down the road...
