What the hell is a boga? And chase Happy Meal Toys (or whatever BK calls them)? Wow, they're really stretching this collectible thing.
I'm not going to go out of the way to get all of these, but may pick some up if I eat at BK (which may not be all that much now since I got a Veggieburger instead of a bacon double cheeseburger >:()
I might be able to help some people with the Chase piece. My friends dad runs a local BK, and I can have him snag a few for me, if possible.

Yeah, otherwise I think we'd all have to a repeat version of "Supersize Me" to score all of this. Then we can compare liver diseases!
I certainly hope that BK will sell complete sets like they did with the LOTR toys they had.
Stopped by BK and all I can say is you get what you pay for. And I mean the help they hire. Idiots. Sorry, Ill pay a little extra for a set on Ebay. Will prevent me from getting doubles and my diet will appreciate it. If there are 31 items and a meal costs what $3-4? Your looking at around $60-70 for set?
I was able to purchase all 5 plus the Vader for .99. Going at off peak hours seems to net better customer service.
Here is a cheap buy it now for Vader if anyone is interested.

At least there was. It sold. I think the same guy had a couple others, though, so you can just go to them from the linked auction.
As long as you realize this is NOT the US chase version. It is from Singapore and is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT figure.
Hope this helps...
The BK Jabba actually fits in with the Galactic Heroes reasonably well. I guess if Hasbro never makes one in the GH line we at least have a reasonable substitute :). Hopefully the pic shows up ok, not the clearest I know.(http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/4257a815za877966d/c464/__sr_/fd36.jpg?ph1NQhCBOiRcfbUL)
Someone check my math here:
Vader ratio is 5/200.
Each week there are 5 toys not including Vader.
Taking away Vader, the ratio of each toy is 39/200.
Toys are available for only a single week each (barring any carry over of stock).
Each week, Vader remains available at the same ratio.
The promotion runs for six weeks (30 toys; 5 per week).
Vader is available for all six weeks.
5 Vader x 6 weeks = overall ratio of 30/200 (if all the Vaders were released in a single week).
Now, unless my math is wrong, and it could easily be, Vader really isn't that tough and anyone crazy enough to pay much above retail really is crazy.
My math could be wrong too but should your overall ratio be 30/1,200?? you multiplied the 5 by 6 weeks but not the 200 by 6 weeks.
Looked on Ebay lately??????
Some sellers with three BK Vaders to sell..
one with five...
ONE WITH NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( >:(
How many do you suppose have direct BK contacts????
I wasn't even going to do this stupid thing but I got sucked into BK for lunch and just HAD to buy them. No Wickets or Han Solo's left ( I guess someone bought them ALL yesterday) so I am already down two.
I had better at least get Padme and Leia :-\
Does the Vader do something special that is worth all the attention or $20? Or is it that some people will buy anything that is Star Wars related even if it is a dog turd painted to look like a wookie turd?
We stopped by a different BK across town yesterday on our way home from church, and I asked if they sold the toys seperately...and they said yes....and I was able to pick up the Yoda I was missing. Two weeks down, four to go...and I've only had to eat one meal there, and I plan on that being the last one :P.
I finally picked up a Vader today. I also got Obi-Wan with my meal. Anyone have an extra Yoda. I missed him.

I'll check and see if I can get another.
I have a spare Falcon for anyone that needs it.

Thank you. ;D
Got one for you. To my dismay, I ate there today only to find they were still absolutely loaded with week 2 toys. It's not so much the toys they had, more that I actually ate there. Again :-X
In fact last week I went in mid-week and told the girl that I needed to catch-up on the "Jedi Toys". She looked at me real funny and handed me a packet of Ketchup and said, "Ok mister". I couldn't stop laughing, I had to collect myself to explain that I needed to purchase some of the Star Wars toys.
Just ran to our local BK for lunch and when I told the girl I needed the next wave she came back with six!! Darth Vader is now mine!! Woohoo!!
To top it all off, I had to wait at least 10 minutes for my order so they gave me another Obi-Wan for my patience. :D
In 10 years, will I regret having a complete collection minus JarJar?
So should I assume that all 30 toys have been released?
I still need about 10. Was the one with Gen. Grievous the last wave of the series?
The BK in Long Beach is very nice. The workers show you all they have including
Vader. One lady even offered to open up the new box so we can get Vader.
The price was .99 for each.

I think the number released depends on where you are. Up here in Canada they're pretty strict about the release dates so we're on week 4 only, two weeks to go.
That price is pretty nice too. In North Dakota they were charging $2.99 with the meal purchase for two. Up here it's only $1.99 for two with meal. $1.99 each without the meal.
Are trading BK toys in this thread, or just discussing?
Well i only need 5, so i assume they are not out yet. This coming week will be the test.The last ones are out in my area. I got Watto today, but no Tarfful. :(
BTW, are they issuing a poster or anything like that, showing the complete lineup of these things? That'd be a cool thing I'd want to grab if they were...

Yes, they have them for free right at the counter.

The window sticker would be nicer though.

Yeah the window sticker is cool. I have mine, it doesnt hurt to ask for one.
Picked up the Boga and Jedi Starfighter today, now I just need Jar Jar and Grievous to complete Wave 4.
But do you really need Jar Jar? :P
Oh, and Jar jar.
For reference, from a Canadian insert with the toys:
Week 1 Han, Falcon, Jabba, Wicket, Luke
Week 2 Yoda, X-wing, R2, Chewbacca, Darth Maul
Week 3 Padme, Podracer, Palpatine, Jawa, Obi
Week 4 Grievous, Jedi Starfighter, Jar Jar, Boga, Leia
Week 5 Clonetrooper, Vader's Tie, Boba, Wampa, 3PO
Week 6 Watto, Landspeeder, Super Battle Droid, Tarfful, Mace Windu
I missed Wave 3 entirely when the stores here started Wave 4 early. Looks like I'll have to widen my search pattern.
Was able to get Mace, Watto, C-3PO, and Chewie from a BK without having to buy the food. First ****** time I've found one like that. :D
Not a problem. :)
Not a problem. :)
It figures--I post about it, and then today I find an R2 locally. ;)
Thanks anyway though!
I finally got Vader this morning! I am really happy, as I have been trying like crazy to get him!
I'm sure I could get a Yoda or Padme at my local BK. I still need Vader.
Cool. I'll stop by there tomorrow, since they should have week 5 by then.
And I thought I was the only one crazy enough to collect those gmae pieces. I have about ten from the 1997 promo, though I don't know where they are.
I was able to pick up the Clonetrooper, Wampa, and Super Battle Droid from the BK again without a food purchase. So close to completion ...
Any idea how many different game pieces there are?
That's great! (http://www.armbrust.net/JediSearch/smilies/cheers.gif)
Scored week 5 and a Vader today!! Yes!!
Just need week 6 now. :)
Sweet! (http://www.armbrust.net/JediSearch/smilies/bandb.gif)
Oh man, now you're just showing off! ;D
Anybody want
Wicket
Luke
Boba
I took a trip across town a bit to the one BK that has always sold them to me without the food. I was able to pick up all of wave 5, so only one week to go. As much as I like this little promotion (they really aren't bad little toys for roughly $1), I will be happy when this is over next week and I don't have to run around town after them. Just as a side note, there have been three BKs I've visited, and two (while inconsistent) have insisted you have to buy food to pick these up while the other one will sell you as many as you want for $0.99 each. Guess which one has been getting our business? ;)
I'm able to buy the toys without buying food, so I don't have to eat there.
So what do you guys normally order at BK (if you get food)?
Today I got a Caesar salad w' "tendercrisp" chicken when I picked up a Padme and Vader tie fighter. No comment on the salad.

Yeah me too, i got all 31 figures without having to buy any food. Saved me money and the food which woul dhave been thrown out.
I'm so glad I don't feel the need to visit BK this week. :)
Hey, just dug through this thread and wanted to ask for some help from anyone who got extras of the plush.
I'm in desperate need of:
Jawa
Tarful
Boga
I'd like an extra Chewbacca as well if someone happened to have one. If not cool, but those top 3 I REALLY need for a full set and just can't get them.
Anyone?
no problem, it's yours remind me next time we get together.
Holy living ****. Is that a real item or just a custom?
Hi. First time poster, long time lurker.
I was just given this by a very good friend who works for the company that produces the toys for Burger King's kids meals. She knew how much I love Star Wars and had already hooked me up with some of the toys. Today she gave me this:
She said to the best of her knowledge that only the CEO and some of the toy designers got them. She was able to snag one to pass on to me. She's not sure exactly why or wh they were produced for.
I think I love the presentation box a little more than I do the toys, but it's a really nice thing to have. I don't plan on parting with it any time soon, but I wonder how "rare" it may be? If anyone else has some info to pass along on this, feel free. Thanks.
Well, they're back for the DVD release (http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/promo/news20050908.html), and it looks like we're getting 17 more.
They also mention that the Vader will be "a tough one to find this time".
Has there been any word of which ones are coming which week?
You can't buy the toys themselves?
The lady at the counter was quite friendly, but it wasn't easy to bite my tongue when she called me a Trekkie. >:( ;)

Why the hell I sucked myself back into this madness I have no idea but I went to both BK's here in Hillbilly country and they stated that I can't pick and choose who I want.
I can help if you like Beth. You're clearly into week two stuff.
During the first promotion, one BK near me eventually sold bundles that included one of each toy. I'm hoping they do the same again because I refuse to shovel that much crap into my body again.
I'm debating whether I want to collect the entire run this time or not. Many are repeats of the first waves (although different)...
My stupid local franchise is still giving out old toys, either leftovers from the May SW promotion or leftovers from the just-over Wallace and Gromit promotion. I am so angry. I have called the BK Miami HQ twice and left complaints. They gave me a number for the franchise that leads to some guy's voice mail. I've left two messages there. Finally got a callback from someone else (not sure if he's from the franchise or HQ, he just said "Burger King" and he left a number that's not a local number and no area code.
Two of the stores have had the new toys on display and the banners up, even tho' they don't have the toys. Went to another location today, and they had taken the display toys down; don't know if they sold 'em or hid 'em.
I have, at least, managed to get the watches. All but Leia so far, and I actually had a call from one of the store managers I've been bitching to, and she told me they had Leia in at their location, so I'll go pick that up Sunday.
I will never set foot in a Burger King again after this fiasco.
But I'm still missing Mace from week 2 and all from week 3 >:(
My BK series is done. I have a complete set coming in the mail from a Snowtrooper here in Canada, saves me time and money tracking the figures down. Hell for $2. CDN per toy plus shipping, me thinks I did well. 8)
I like these a lot, I wish there were more.
Got the last four today, along with an extra Bail they threw in by accident apparently. I like these a lot, I wish there were more.
I scored the last of the stuff I needed a couple weeks back, but didn't get a Vader.
I haven't had any BK slop since. My guts thank me.
It's too bad they did another R2 and Mace instead of a Qui-Gon.
