JJ have an extra Jawa for you!
Some general thoughts on the BK toys now that it's over.
At the the Pgh show a few booths had the toys for about $3ea. A few had maybe a handful of random loose they would part with for a little less. Full sets were about $40+.
My Burger King (one that's kinda near Jesse too) would take the plush and put all of those in the kids meal bags, so any of the kids typically would get the plush unless they asked for somethign different, making the plush a little harder to snag. I would imagine they weren't the only ones that might have done this. This would lead me to beleive that down the road the plush ones may eventually be just slightly harder to find(just a hunch), plus one of the employees also said a lot of times theres a brother and a sister, so they would try to give the sister a plush or a Padme.
One or two booths would give me the same story that Maul was $5, Fett was $7 and Vader was $10 (these were the HTF ones is what they would say)
Persoanlly all said and done, from a collectors standpoint I thought the promotion was kicked off poorly, I found the Vader first day, but was a hassle to get. The employees at first didn't have a clue as to what the prices were, how many figs you could get, etc. but after the first week it ran smoothly. I the actual toys themselves were great (for what they are) both from a collectors view and from a kids view. Also, I think with 31 toys available, these will hold a collectible "value" better than the toy promos of the past. They all in general just seemed kinda hard to find(lots of BK would be sold out of them), and you don't see hundreds of thousands of these lying around leftover like the Pizza Hut cups or Taco Bell SE and EP I toys. I really didn't see a ton of them at the Pgh. toyshow like I had imagined I would.
so, maybe that gives a general idea of what the "market" on the BK toys will be like
just my general thoughts, observations, and opinions.
