In 2015 and 2016 (from October 2015 to 16 March 2016), the Italian supermarket line Esselunga, gave a toy character named "Rollinz" every € 25 spent (or every 60 "strawberry" points earned). The Rollinz characters represented some characters in the Star Wars saga: Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke and Anakin Skywalker, Emperor Palpatine, a TIE pilot, a stormtrooper, a scout trooper, Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, C-3PO and R2-D2. Each of them consisted of a sphere that would not let them fall, a similar statue to a caricature of the character and a suitable place in the official box to collectors, which resembled the Millennium Falcon and that served also for games with the characters , who had a toy line to advertise Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

In September 2016, some Rollinz toys were sold as non-Esselunga toys.

The app

The toys were scannable via an Android application, then you could use them in a video game, but the application was downloaded only via a QR code. Each character (scanned or bought with credits, the Star Wars) evaluates the galaxy had custom levels of the game, where the character must slide forward in a difficult path before "the screen" surpasses it and recover credits and overcome obstacles. You can no longer scan them, but the game is usable.

The Abatons toys

A variant of the Rollinz toys was the lino of Abatons characters, small statuettes rapresenting Star Wars characters, sold also as gadget in magazines.
