I think the XJ starfighters (excuse for still using X-wing design/profile 25+ ABY) in the EU were all black.
Hot Wheels Die Cast I have yet to find, so the closest that I have seen is the Titanium series.
Leave it to merchandising to get me more excited for the film than the trailers.
Also, read "Shattered Empire" which features Han, Leia and Lando more prominently, as well as provides an interesting look in to some of the background characters of the Rebel Alliance, which comics and other materials can do a great job at.
At least worth one read, in my opinion.
Though, if they end it with how I suspect they are going to end it, I'm going to be pissed!
Argh! There's no Disney Store near me!
What about a JC Penny's. I know they have a deal with Disney for Star Wars stuff. I've seen action figures at one. Not seen ships, but other Penny's might have something like that.
Is there another way to listen to these if for some reason the sound clips don't play on your device?
I still think we'll get a new trailer before Halloween, but it is Disney and J.J. Abrams we're talking about here. They'll sit on any new images and story details for as long as they can get away with it.
I think it's amazing how this entire media roll out is keeping the mystery. We got a million toys two weeks ago... that revealed absolutely nothing about the movie 
The toys won't even tell us Rey or Finn's last names! We have no toys for Han or Luke or Leia. We still don't officially know what Luke looks like in the new movie! We still don't know what the movie is ABOUT.

I'm glad your not my doctor; "It's about sickness, what more needs to be known?"
Me too. The limit of my medical advice is:
Patient: Doctor it hurts when I do this
Dr: Then don't do that!
What I was trying to say, is, Star Wars really hasn't ever been about much of anything, it's spaceships and lightsabers and lots of running around and shooting. What else do you need to know?

Well, a few websites can give you a rundown of the story - I guess we'll see how accurate it turns out to be.

Two hours and a few minutes?
Unless we're talking about the eventual Blu ray version with deleted footage and then it's three and a half hours?
As much as I'm looking forward to the final official trailer, part of me hopes that they'll just continue keeping things incredibly vague all the way up til release. And that we don't suddenly get inundated with tons of spoilery commercials and clips in the last two weeks, like often happens with movies nowadays.

They have been accurate enough so far that we could figure out that the filming at Skellig was for 8 and not reshoots for 7. So they seem to have the general bare bones summary of the film done.
Don't knock that medical advice. Every once in a while, my mom (a nurse practitioner) gets to say that and charge people for it.
It's often followed up with real medical advice, but its still fun to say
I am curious to know how the First Order came about, who Kylo Ren is, and what the Resistance is. The idea that I am automatically going to be on the side of the heroes is one that has passed since the PT for me, so I remain skeptical at this point about the characters so far.
Still excited to see the film.
