Star Wars Weekends Merchandise

Looking for more opinions... Im going to SWW for the first time with my family! Yay! I have a friend that maybe would like me to pick up any kind of Darth Goofy figurine and pin. I'm not really into merch myself and don't plan on waiting in crazy long lines at Darth's Mall. Will I be able to get this kind of stuff at the regular shops in the HS park or the Disney hotel? Or maybe even online? I think he wants limited edition stuff but I'm assuming that would only be found in places like Darth's Mall? I heard people wait hours before the park open just to get this merch. Will there be much less crowded times later in the day in the merch tents? We are going for one day only on the first day May 15. Thanks in advance!!!

I haven't been to SWW before so I'm only commenting on things I've read, not from personal experience. Everyone says that the first Friday, May 15, will be the busiest day for Darth's Mall because that is when everyone wants to get their hands on the limited edition stuff that sells out quickly. So unless you want to wait in a long line, you should definitely avoid Darth's Mall that first morning. I read that the lines die down later in the afternoon and evening. I hope that helps.

it's usually only REALLY crazy on the first Friday when collectors come to pick up the limited edition merchandise. Wait until evening if you don't want anything that will sell out fast.

Thank you! I don't want anything special, just want to look around and maybe buy something that's not limited merchandise. I think I'll definitely wait till the evening and browse then.
