“Force Friday” is only a few short months away and it goes without saying that fans cannot WAIT for September 4 to arrive. With Toys “R” Us leading the charge, Walmart wanted to make sure fans knew they would be participating in this special event as well and that they will be offering exclusive Star Wars items on that day.
Via an official press release posted yesterday on Walmart’s website:
July 9, 2015 – “Walmart is counting down to ‘Force Friday’ on September 4, where customers, fans and collectors from across the galaxy can come to Walmart to be among the first to get their hands on an all new assortment of Star Wars merchandise.

“Jedi Knights, rebels and stormtroopers attending San Diego International Comic Con this week can stop by the Topps booth (Booth #2913) and get a first look at a new Star Wars collectible initiative that is only available at Walmart.
