The “Solo: A Star Wars Story” merchandise is definitely getting rolled out with less fanfare than the two Force Fridays, and even Rogue One’s. But it is good to finally get an official word on when the Solo merchandise will be released, and that it is as soon as this week, as I know some black series figures have already been spotted out in the wild.
