Star Wars fanatics have been searching high and low for Baby Yoda merchandise since “The Mandalorian” debuted on Disney+ last fall, but many are still empty-handed. When the character was introduced to audiences in the show’s first episode, it immediately set off an internet frenzy, fueled by memes of the tiny robe-clad alien behaving mischievously or simply sipping a hot beverage. But while the memes have been plenty, the physical memorabilia has not, and the shortage is manifesting itself at comic and memorabilia stores in Woodbridge: in some, Baby Yoda products are scarce, in others, they are non-existent.
If you’re really desperate (and willing to pay a steep price) for official Baby Yoda merchandise, Flashback Comics off Smoketown Road has some options. Official Topps trading card sets for The Mandalorian are selling at $59.99 for a pack of five. Other official framed drawings of the character are on display at a price of $28.99.
Even big retailers who typically have first dibs on new merchandise have limited quantities of Baby Yoda items. As of last week, the 2nd & Charles location in Woodbridge had nothing more than a T-shirt, and a search of the Woodbridge Walmart’s shelves turned up nothing.
