Posted on by

PopMinded from Hallmark has announced exclusives for San Diego Comic Con 2022 and New York Comic Con 2022. Of course they were going to announce at least one Star Wars item and the company did not fail to do so! This year’s exclusives will include the Gonk Droid and Mouse Droid Christmas Ornament set.

The Gonk Droid does have an audio feature so when you turn it on, it will say the word “Gonk.” No word about the Mouse Droid features or if it does have features.

If you are going to San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con this year, head on over to the PopMinded booth and pick up your Gonk Droid & Mouse Droid set!

It has actually been a good little while since I have been to a Hallmark store, but checking them out online… it seems I might need to visit soon. They have wonderful Star Wars “knick-knacks” there.

LEGO® Star Wars ™ BOOST Droid Commander set takes the Force to a new level, introducing the droids you have been looking for…

New LEGO® Star Wars™ BOOST Droid Commander set lets fans build, code and play with three iconic Star Wars droids – whether they’re a young Padawan or Jedi Master

BILLUND, DENMARK (May 4, 2019): Today, the LEGO Group unveils the latest addition to its much loved Star Wars™ range – and it’s something even Yoda’s Force sense didn’t see coming. The new LEGO Star Wars BOOST Droid Commander set offers all the creativity and coding fun of LEGO® BOOST alongside the chance to build three of the film franchise’s most iconic droids: R2-D2; the Gonk Droid; and the Mouse Droid.

It’s the first time the intuitive drag-and-drop LEGO BOOST coding technology has been used in a LEGO licensing product. With the technology overhauled to match the LEGO Star Wars galaxy, the result is a whole new play experience in which kids and parents can team up to build, code and play with the droids, then create their own Star Wars stories and battlegrounds with inspiration from 40+ interactive missions. What’s more, every time they play with this LEGO Star Wars brick galaxy of lovable droids, they will also be honing their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) skills, which are ever more important for children in today’s digital world.

Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer, LEGO Group, said: “We’ve been fueling the imagination of young Padawans and Jedi Masters for twenty years and wanted to take the Force to a new level. By introducing LEGO BOOST and creative coding into the LEGO Star Wars galaxy, kids now have the chance to develop essential 21st century skills while immersing themselves in the amazing world of Droid Commanders. Our children are the problem solvers of tomorrow and STEAM skills will be essential to help them conquer the challenges of the future.”

The LEGO Star Wars BOOST Droid Commander set is the latest example of how the LEGO Group is using product innovation to help boys and girls gain vital STEAM skills like creativity, critical-thinking, problem-solving and communication – all while enjoying the thrill of playing with their favorite LEGO Star Wars characters. Launching globally September 1, 2019 just in time to mark the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , all three droids (R2-D2, Gonk Droid and Mouse Droid) included in the set are great fun to build, code and play with, and completely customizable for every child.

“These are the droids you’re looking for.”
