Dominos Pizza x Phantom Menace 3-D set
First saw this set on the Rebel Scum forums.
Decided to order myself a medium pizza to get the R2 box.
It came with a poster inside a plastic lightsabre case.

Star Wars Year by Year a Visual Chronicle
This is my second favourite Star Wars book, after "The Making of Empire..."
In a nutshell, it covers all of the 6 Star Wars films in a year-by-year, month-by-month format.
Everything from early influences to fan-made films.
Toys, games, awards, key actors/directors other films are all here.
I particularly enjoyed the pages of the original trilogy and, whilst some of the stories I was familiar with, I hadn't seen many of the photos.
The book flowed at a good pace.
Hardback. 320 pages.

Pepsi x Revenge of the Sith Promotion
Pepsi ran a huge promotion to tie-in with the cinematic release of Revenge of the Sith.
The printed cans and bottles were only available from certain vending machines around Japan.
There were 4 300ml bottles and 8 cans to collect.
I managed to get all of the cans,but didn't get the Solo/Chewie, Leia or Stormtooper.
I ended up with a lot of Palpatine and Luke in my attempts.
There were also the usual bottle caps which had been done before by Pepsi.
These were sold in select supermarkets in Japan.
There were two types to collect: the small statues/busts which were sold first and also larger caps with articulated arms which ran later.
By collecting the tokens from the sides of Pepsi bottles, there were a range of goods to get.
Some, like the R2 Pepsi cooler were very limited and were subject to a raffle.

Star Wars Lego x The Sun newspaper
These Lego sets were free gifts with The Sun, a British daily newspaper.
They coincided with the release of the Clones Wars TV series.
There's also a small cardboard box with a Clone Trooper featured on it and some stickers and a double-sided poster.
Lego has run a lot of Star Wars campaigns with The Sun, but this was definitley the best.
