    Hmmmmm 12 inch Grievous eh? Hmmmm well, I won't be getting to Sac anytime soon.

    Although I did find the Darth Vader operation table delux figure. I am going to go pick it up today. ;)

    I also found a Darth Tyranus in a miniature booster pack today. ;)

    So how's everyone's BK collection coming along?

    I have decided my local BK can die. We went back tonight and asked which toys they had, and the guy pulls out a shoebox-size box with a couple of Lukes, Wickets and Jabbas. He says "This is all we have." I said "That's crap, I was here two days ago and there were tons more." He then told me "Wow, two days is kinda long. This is all we have now." We walked out and drove across town to the other BK, where people are awesome, and the toys are actually cheaper. They pulled out a big box and said "Do you need any of these?" While we were digging, they went and got more and said "Hey, we have these too." It was really nice because another guy who had already ordered saw the toys and he picked out a bunch he didn't have. They were really friendly about it, they didn't rush us, and they made sure we had an extra bag each to put all our toys in.

    Updated list:
    Darth Vader (x2)
    Yoda
    R2-D2
    Chewbacca
    Jabba the Hutt
    Han Solo
    Luke Skywalker
    Wicket W. Warrick
    Millenium Falcon
    Darth Maul
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Jawa
    Princess Leia
    Padmé Amidala
    Boga
    X-Wing
    Podracer
    Jedi Starfighter
    General Greivous
    Jar Jar Binks
    Emperor Palpatine

    10 more to go. I'll probably re-buy Luke, Han, Jabba and the Falcon because I opened them, though.

    All BK's can die Joe.

    Hate BK I've eaten there once in the last 3 years....the things I'll do for Star Wars.

    and the scrooge mcduck way they are handling this promotion makes me want to slap someone.

    Limiting the amounts you can buy...fine I get that, but the limit is WAY too low.

    *wanders off grumbling about BK

    What? The two I've been to haven't had a limit. Hell, the one on Douglas, they let a lady buy literally about 40 toys, including several Vaders.

    WHAT?!!!

    Figures...the one BK I head into in years would be the most vile of them. *actually this is very true....since I worked for that SAME one (for two weeks in my long ago youth) and I can tell you all sorts of mouse/food horror stories (keep in mind 2 weeks and I have horror stories)*

    Oh well. since there's no BK in this town I've been sending Lola out for them...and all her co-workers too.

    I've got a nice collection going but I know I wont get all of them before the promo is over...leaving me to pick them up at Denios later.

    So far I have (by memory)
    Luke
    Sidious (aka Homie Imp)
    Obi Wan
    Yoda
    Maul
    Falcon
    X-wing
    Pod Racer
    Jawa
    Jabba

    Well, I am also very easily addicted to things like this so I've been going out every couple of days to get more. I also did buy the first week set again because I had opened them. I went in to my local one the next morning to get breakfast, and they said they had no more week 1 toys. I said "Bullcrap, I was here last night. There's a box under the counter there." She says "Oh," and pulls it out.

    At least the whole thing is over in two weeks.



    I also really want the large inflatable Vader on the roof.

    Article

    They're going for nearly $700 now.
    Buy one on ebay

    Went to BK again today, they didn't have the Week 5 toys. They said they still have 4 more boxes of the week 4 toys so it's unlikely they'll finish that promotion. That blows balls. However, I did get another Vader, so I have 3 now.

    I also just learned the Jawa's eyes light up when you squeeze him. Awesome.

    Joe

    Do you have to eat BurgerCrap to get the toys or can you just go in and buy them?

    I've only gone in twice and now I remember why I haven't been to a BurgerKing in a while.

    You can buy just the toys. The one by my house sells them as a two-toy set for $3.98, but the one on Douglas sells them for $1 a pop.

    Most of you guys are Sacramento-centric but the Toy R Us in Stockton had a ton as of yesterday morning.

    Also quite a few of the new unleashed (yoda/sidious, asajj, vader)

    Just as an FYI:

    I took Rogue 2.5 to B.K yesterday and they let me buy remaining Star Wars toys they had.
    So if your missing some ask and they might have them under the counter still even though they moved on to the Fantastic Four promo.
