First weekend is about a month away and no news yet about pins or merchandise. Anyone have an update or news??

A little while ago, I gave you a peek at some Star Wars Weekends merchandise. Today, I have selected a few of my favorite items coming soon to “Darth’s Mall,” a massive shopping location we’re creating just for Star Wars Weekends.
The striking image of Donald Duck as Darth Maul is a common thread throughout the entire assortment. The artwork above will be used on the two main logo shirts. We will also have shirts with images of Darth Maul from Episode I, including a stunning Passholder exclusive shirt in both men’s and women’s styles. I spent hours around the office, however, wearing one of the best shirts this year — a tee shirt with an image of Darth Vader’s chest, complete with a flowing, detachable cape.

Similar to previous years, there will be open and limited-edition pins, boxed pin sets and a framed pin set. I enjoy the humor found in the “Piece of Death Star” pin (there is not an actual piece, but one can dream). I also like the Chewbacca-inspired, bandolier neck lanyard.
In the Vinylmation galaxy, Maria Clapsis designed six new open edition figures that feature Disney characters portraying Star Wars characters. If you are looking for the second limited release mystery series, you will have to wait until August (trust me, it will be worth it!).

There is a beach towel that looks like the legs of a Jedi Knight (awesome!). There will also be an iPhone 4/4S case, with the fitting edition size of 1,999.

One of the more unique items is an oversized bag that contains a special side pocket to carry either a poster tube (or perhaps a lightsaber!). I also thought the six different phrase buttons were a nice addition this year. Yet I can’t wait to get my Star Tours nametag with my name written in Aurebesh, one of the alphabets used in the Star Wars galaxy.
Finally, we will have three unique action figures including Donald Duck playing Darth Maul and Savage Opress, Darth Maul’s powerful brother from the planet of Dathomir. Savage Opress, who was once also Count Dooku’s secret Sith apprentice, is featured in the animated TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Also, look for the limited release figure of Rizzo from The Muppets, portraying Jedi Master Yoda.

OH MAN! All of that stuff looks amazing. Disneyland Resort needs an event like this. Not identical to Star Wars weekends, but something similar. I like that the parks differ in ways. :]
 
I'm actually pretty disappointed with the pin selection this year for Star Wars Weekends. There isn't much that screams that I have to have other than the Piece of the Death Star pin.
 
This is what I am seeing on ODPT:

Oh man! Those are some really cool pins and there are some being released to DLR for purchase. I'm so glad to have seen a lanyard being release. I actually lost an eBay auction for that same lanyard.
 
I absolutely love the "Piece of the Deathstar" pin but is it just me or would you expect to see something like black plastic, frayed wires, or circuitboard-ish? It looks like the same little rock from the Alderaan pin. I don't think they had rocks in the Deathstar.
 
Wasn't really digging what I saw but after going through the odpt.com site, I do really like a few of the coming pins. I do love collecting Donald pins but I never really got the mash-up of making him cosplay Darth Maul. It just looks weird to me. But this pin makes me chuckle:

Admittedly, I think I might want this one. :p

Also kind of interested in the jumbo vinylmation pins but I'm sure they won't really be what I'm looking for. I like the cosplay characters but as it isn't Darth Goofy in the preview pic, I'm sure the chasers will be normal Star Wars characters. I'm thinking a stormtrooper, Yoda, maybe Chewie.
