They also mention that the Vader will be "a tough one to find this time". 

Great. I never found him the first time. Every time I asked. Oh Im sorry someone bought them all.  >:(

I found him my very first time out. Just sheer dumb luck, I think.

Only a few days until the new stuff starts hitting ... Nov 7 - Dec 11.....

Cosmic Cruisers -- rolling spring-loaded vehicles that launch from special keys inserted in the back:

ARC Clone Fighter
Vulture Droid
Naboo Starfighter
Snowspeeder
 
Shadow Casters --- by depressing a button on the back, an image is projected from the bottom of the figure:

Stormtrooper with Imperial logo
Queen Amidala with Anakin Skywalker
Bail Organa with Yoda
R2-D2 with Princess Leia

Galactic Spinners -- tops that you rev up and spin on a "whirler" revealed by removing the figure's lower half:

Emperor Palpatine
Chewbacca
Luke Skywalker
Anakin Skywalker

Jedi Wisdom -- magic fortune telling cubes are revealed beneath these four Jedi figures:

Obi-Wan Kenobi from A New Hope
Mace Windu
Kit Fisto
Yoda

Finally, a Darth Vader chase figure with sound chip.



Discuss.

Don't forget about the watches also.

I'm starting to wonder if that watch promo is still going to happen.  The last Burger King I was in was giving out little flyers showing the upcoming Super-D figures, but nothing was mentioned about the watches. 

I could take or leave the watches themselves, but the tins they come in look pretty cool.

That's kind of what I thought too.  The watches aren't anything spectacular, but I do like the tins that they come in.  I'm wondering how much they'll be, or if they'll show up too.  I might try to get the Han/Fett one if any, and I might just watch on ebay if its a pain to get them at the store(s).

As far as the Super D toys, I'm hoping to get the rest...particularly the OT ones.  I'm not looking forward to stopping at BK every week again either, but hopefully the one store that sold them to me (without food) throughout the last promotion will do the same again, we'll see.  Has there been any word of which ones are coming which week?  There was a vague schedule that seemed to be followed here at least (but not everywhere), and that makes it a little easier to know when to go in and what to look for.

I managed to get a full set of the first run of the BK toys (except one, which I've luckily got a current deal working).  So I have to get this upcoming second set.  They're just too cute cool to pass on.

Has there been any word of which ones are coming which week?

I tried to check Burger King's website, but my work computer doesn't have Flash installed, so I'm not sure if anything has been determined yet.   :(

I'll get 1 or 2 of the watches I think, but I'm not going to try for the whole set.

Watches are $1.99 with a purchase of an Adult Value Meal.  Damn, I better weigh myself before the promo starts.  I easily gained 5-10 lbs due to the last one.

Do salads count as adult meals?   The food really got to me last time because for the first half of the promo they made us buy food locally.  During the latter half it was better as I could just pick up the toys. 

I'll be getting the full run again.  Watches?  As said above, tins are cool.  I still have my homer "Mmmm, burgers" watch from several years ago.

I think I'll shoot a "Burger King Me" movie ala "Super Size Me" while I'm on the hunt.   :P

My husband wrote a letter of complaint about our local BK recently; several times we went in, ordered with "no onions" and they were loaded with onions.  The district manager was really apologetic, and asked if there was anything he could do to make it up to us and get us to try the restaurant again (they are changing management at the store, apparently), so Tim e-mailed him back and told him his wife had a sick mental compulsion to collect SW stuff, and could he please get 'em to save some of the signage for me.  The guy said he'd make sure they did.  Yay for me -- if it really works.....

Update: At least one of our local stores in Pensacola has the watches.  They claim to only have one (Luke/Stormtrooper) in stock.  I don't know if the people there are stupid or if they really are just sending out one per week.
