    I can just imagine the little kids faces going back into the BK trying to find their forgotten toys and crying all the way back home. And to think, a Jedi has them now :D you may become a sith yet :D

    The only BK near me I know of that sells the toys by themselves is the one in Colma, across from Home Depot. BTW, that Kotobukiya figure rocks! I wish I could collect more, but at $99 each, that's seriously damaging my costume fund! So far, I only have the Anakin AOTC. I'd like to get the ESB Vader or Maul next. But if they ever come out with a slave Leia.... ;)

    Check eBay I got mines for about $80 including shipping. There's also a bunch of Unleashed Slave Leias on there right now ;)

    ^Yeah, I got my Anakin for about $60 on ebay, and it took me over a year to get my Leia Unleashed, because I kept getting outbid at the last minute!

    If you ever got to meet my lead I don't think she's the type to do that with thinking about that and triple checkin. Then again the people in my crew currently joked around about that too. Actually one of the toys was slightly defective and maybe they just didn't like stormies. :p

    I've been meaning to post this for a while, and keep forgetting. During the last promotion, I had decent luck at the BK in SF near the main library. It's right by the Civic Center BART. They let me buy toys without food and were good about digging around in the toy box to show me all of the available toys (but I never did get a Vader). Anyway, if some of y'all are out and about, you may want to give it a try! It is funny how all the different BKs have such different policies. You'd think they'd want to make extra $$ by selling the toys!

    Ming, great story about your coworker snagging you the figures! Yet another drawback to my new plan of working from home! :)

    I got the snow speeder, Naboo Starfighter(which was mislabled on the bag as a vulture droid), queen amidala, R2, stormtrooper, chewbacca, vader, palpatine, anakin, mace, and obi wan, as well as the ANH and TPM watches. Just 6 more figures and 4 more watches to go!!

    Has anyone heard of these Star Wars burger king gift cards? They have them at the Burger King on El Camino.

    Yoda, Palpatine & Kit - wow! They are rolling these toys out fast. I hope I didn't miss those already (forgot to go to BK last week). Darn!

    Okay, this is getting ridiculous but funny at the same time, and yet nice. Once again since my legendary status as SW central has spread across the galaxy of building 3, my temporary supervisor walked up to me today and gave me a R2-D2 PEZ dispencer on the floor saying "never say I didn't give you anything."! Later I took that R2 PEZ dispencer and shoved it in one of my other co-worker's face saying "now there's my R2 unit!" because he's usually say stupid things like our portable tanks being R2 units (joking of couse). This had nothing to do with the BK toys but I thought it was worth telling since I got those two BK Stormtrooper toys last week too. Fun people at Genentech!

    I knew that "vulture droid" looked like a Naboo starfighter! I wonder if the marketing team is saying, "Wait a minute. We're smarter than this!" ;)

    You are kidding? Over? The BK's by my house never put out the last set of toys. I was even checking BK's in Kentucky and they didn't have anything new. Hopefully some BK's will still sell the toys tomorrow? If I had known it ended this soon I would have searched harder for the last 4 toys I need.

    Ah, I picked up an extra 4 of the final set (Yoda, Bail, Vulture Droid & Luke) thinking Matt would want them. I guess they are up for grabs now. If anyone's interested I can bring them to Borders this week :)

    It's over already?? Blast it! I never got my Amidala figure. Maybe I'll swing by my local BK anyway, just to be sure ...

    Hello.
    Picked up the last ones as well.

    However, not all BKs still have the toys.
    You may have to go to more than one. Also, it is probably last week for watches as well. The BKs I went said it was the last week. Some only had a 1/2 case left.

    Also, the Gift Cards came out this week. Picked up a set.
    Not sure if I wanted a set until I saw them.

    Thank you.
