The latest Star Wars promotion at Burger King begins today, and here's a rundown of what collectors are in for.
Last spring's "Choose Your Destiny" promotion at Burger King was such a huge success, they've brought it back just in time for the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith!
Super D Toys This time around, the promotion encourages fans to "Complete the Saga" and collect all 17 new Super D toys of characters from all 6 movies in the saga. Like last time, the toys are broken up into different types, detailed below. Prices may vary by location, but you can expect to pay at least $1.04 for each toy.
Galactic Spinners:
Anakin Skywalker
Chewbacca
Emperor Palpatine
Luke Skywalker
Shadow Casters:
Bail Organa
Queen Amidala
R2-D2
Stormtrooper
Cosmic Cruisers:
ARC Clone Fighter
Naboo Fighter
Snowspeeder
Vulture Droid
Jedi Wisdom:
Kit Fisto
Mace Windu
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Yoda
Once again, the chase figure in the series is Darth Vader, who has a special feature. By pressing the chest panel, you can hear the Sith Lord making his trademark breathing sounds.
These toys come in a case of 200 pieces, with only 4 Vaders per box each week. The rest of the toys are shipped 49 each per case.
Much like the last promotion, there will be different toys available each week. The first week consists of the following:
Chewbacca Galactic Spinner
Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Wisdom
Snowspeeder Cosmic Cruiser
Stormtrooper Shadow Caster
Darth Vader Breathing Sounds
The second week consists of:
Anakin Skywalker Galactic Spinner
Mace Windu Jedi Wisdom
Naboo Fighter Cosmic Cruiser
Queen Amidala Shadow Caster
Darth Vader Breathing Sounds
Stay tuned for week 3 and 4!
It also appears that some restaurants are selling their leftover stock from last spring's promotion. So be sure to check which toy you get in your value meal!
Destiny Watches Another promotion starting today is the a series of reversible watches. As you might expect, there are 6 watches in the series, one for each movie. Each watch features a reversible faceplate that tells the time on one side and features a hologram on the other side. They are as follows:
Episode I - Obi-Wan / Darth Maul
Episode II - Yoda / Count Dooku
Episode III - Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
Episode IV - Luke Skywalker / Stormtrooper
Episode V - Han Solo / Boba Fett
Episode VI - Princess Leia / Jabba the Hutt
The watches are available in special tin cylinders with the characters and Star Wars logos embossed on them.
Starting today, both Episodes I (Maul) and IV (Luke) are available. Price is $1.99 each
Gift Cards Another really cool promotion collectible are a series of lenticular gift cards, which can be charged and recharged much like debit cards, good for Burger King food purchases. There are 6 cards in the series:
Episode I Obi-Wan / Darth Maul
Episode II Yoda / Count Dooku
Episode III Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
Episode IV Luke Skywalker / Darth Vader
Episode V Han Solo / Boba Fett
Episode VI Princess Leia / Jabba the Hutt
Packaging There is a whole new series of Star Wars-themed packaging, including cups, boxes, and bags. The new bag also has an error on the side, switching the names for the Vulture Droid and the Naboo Fighter.
Website As with any good promotion, Burger King has opened up a new section of their website to show off the new toys. Go to the Burger King website for details on the items available starting today.
Checklists With all this information, it's sure easy to get confused. To help you keep track of what you have and what you need, Rebelscum reader Alex Pineda has created checklists for each of the promotions that you can download and print out.
Huge thanks go out to Alex, Ken, Ian, Eric, Jason, Kyle, Luke, Justin, Enrico, Bryan, Eric, and my local Burger King restaurant for all their help in compiling the information in this report and for sending in the pictures.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
