Swan Drive-In is having one of its busiest merch weeks of the year. The Georgia drive-in launched Transformers and Cars collectibles yesterday, and today it is adding Avengers: Endgame Encore, Forgotten Island, and Wildwood to the lineup, with public ordering opening at 10 pm ET.
Swan sent word, saying in part that this week has been “very exciting for merch,” and that early access links for today’s three new releases will go out ahead of the 10 pm public window. We have watched Swan sell out of major releases within hours before, so if you want a shot at everything, early access is worth watching your inbox for. It is also worth ordering a popcorn bucket just to get on the email list!
Launching Tonight at 10 pm ET – Three titles go live tonight in Swan’s movie merch shop unless you get an early access link first: Avengers: Endgame Encore, Forgotten Island, and Wildwood. Swan has not detailed exactly what each lineup includes yet, but here is what we know going in.
For Avengers: Endgame Encore, the Iron Man Premium Head Helmet Popcorn Bucket is a full-size helmet with LED eyes that project “I Love You 3000,” a callback to the film’s final Tony Stark and Morgan Stark scene, estimated at $39.99. The Nano-Gauntlet Popcorn Container is a 16-inch red gauntlet modeled after Endgame’s climactic snap, $79.99. If Swan carries the same pieces, expect pricing in that range.
Forgotten Island will have a Boombox Tin at minimum, and Wildwood’s lineup is the least certain of the three. At the very least, we would expect a tin.
- Protected: FORGOTTEN ISLAND: Boombox Tin $29.95
- Protected: FORGOTTEN ISLAND: Bungi Tumbler $24.95
- Protected: FORGOTTEN ISLAND: Charm Bracelet SET OF 2 $19.95
- Protected: WILDWOOD: Septima Molded Popcorn Bucket $34.95
- Protected: WILDWOOD: Grippr ™ Tumbler $24.95

Swan Drive-In is a drive-in theater in Blue Ridge, Georgia that has been operating since 1955. It has built a reputation for stocking major theater collectibles and popcorn buckets ahead of or alongside the big chains, often at lower shipping costs, making it one of the easiest online options for collectors who cannot get to an AMC or Regal in person. We personally use Swan Drive-In for our collecting habit; with an average of $12.99 shipping, they are lower than the other chains.
