Cool, haven't seen these in my local branch yet.

Here are a bunch of things we did see today though. Chocolates and advent calendar, as reported by Mike Lee earlier, the new Hot Wheels 2-packs (that some have seen, but I was certainly interested to see the Rebels pack with variant TIE), boys t-shirts, made-in-NZ jigsaw puzzles, and playing cards by Cartamundi (2 different sets featuring OT and PT art).

I don't know about other Farmers stores, but The Westgate store are in the process of moving to a new building and have those big X-Wings on clearance at $40.

Still dropping. ;) This is at Toyworld Albany again, where they had about a dozen they were keen to get out the door for $29.99.

Branches of JayJays (NZ, Aus, and online) have some new and interesting Star Wars products, including mens (Darth Vader) & women's (Stormtrooper with lipstick mark) t-shirts, jandals (Clone Wars), and Darth Vader shoes ($45).

The T-shirt says "Stormtrooper 19BBY"

Isn't 19BBY basically around EpIII, or is it referring to when he was born? If so he (or she) is about the same age as Luke, perhaps in an alternative reality, or in a galaxy only far away Luke (or Leia) is a Stormtrooper. It's quite confusing.

He's also 6'5", admittedly in armour, that's almost my height. A bit tall for a Stormtrooper (and blows my Luke theory away).

I'll join in your overthinking exercise, and agree that this is probably his birth year.

In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26.
In the Battle of Yavin he was 19.
Ni-ni-ni 19.

It is so exciting to see a women's Star Wars t-shirt available here in NZ! :D

The t-shirts and jandals are available on the JayJays website (which uses AUD$ and ships from Australia), but there are two other men's Star Wars t-shirts, and a stormtrooper 'mesh sling' bag - so these could also show up in NZ stores soon.

For those with younger children, Cotton On Kids has a wide range of licensed clothing for the smaller fan. These were spotted in Glenfield (I believe most of their stores are in Auckland, but they do have an online store that offers "free standard shipping on orders over $55 to Aus and NZ". http://cottonon.com/AU/shop-by-category/kids/#sz=1085

Found the Micro Machines Bling Bags at my local Warehouse store this weekend. I didn't see a price tag and was in a hurry so I couldn't spend any time looking it up, but they were down near the counters rather than in the toy section or near the other TFA island displays. Best of luck to folks.
