I was recently lucky enough to acquire a complete set of vintage Star Wars Coca Cola cups from New Zealand/Australia. I've been looking for these for a few years now, ever since fellow spy Buzz told me about his childhood cups, and this set practically fell in my lap. Using the same artwork...

Found these yesterday at Walmart. So far just the two can designs, although they were heavy on the Yoda cans. Since there are multiple Campbells soup cans on the way, it's possible there are more designs for the Spaghettios as well.

Coming soon, to a galaxy (or supermarket) near you: Campbell's Healthy Kids Star Wars Soup! Featuring pasta in four out-of-this-world shapes: Stormtrooper, Vader, R2-D2, and Yoda. The images below are of card inserts for a Campbell's soup can roll-down fixture. No sign of the soup yet, but...

Here is one of my acquisitions from Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. Kellogg's Krave cereal from Mexico. This was released in 2012-2013 to promote Episode I in 3D. This box ranks up there as one of my fave foreign items, purely for the crazy character art on the box. The front features an evil...

Calling cards have been an ever present part of Star Wars collecting since its revival in the early 90s. Though no longer prevalent in the US, cards are still in use in many Asian and South American countries. The concept of putting a Star Wars image on an item to increase sales should come as...

Dixie Cups produced four different series of Star Wars cups for each of the three original movies. These cups featured scenes and characters from the movies. For The Empire Strikes Back, however, they also had a number of promotions available on non-Star Wars cup boxes. This included paper...

New Star Wars Gummy Multivitamins are now appearing at Target, and possibly other retailers. They retail for about $7.99 a bottle, although a current Target promotion earns you a $5 gift card with the purchase of two. Available in Sour Yoda, or Fruit Flavored Villain shapes: Darth Vader...
