Last spring's "Choose Your Destiny" promotion at Burger King was such a huge success, they've brought it back just in time for the DVD release of
Revenge of the Sith!
Super D ToysThis time around, the promotion encourages fans to "Complete the Saga" and collect all 17 new Super D toys of characters from all 6 movies in the saga. Like last time, the toys are broken up into different types, detailed below. Prices may vary by location, but you can expect to pay at least $1.04 for each toy.
Galactic Spinners:
Anakin Skywalker
Chewbacca
Emperor Palpatine
Luke Skywalker
Shadow Casters:
Bail Organa
Queen Amidala
R2-D2
Stormtrooper
Cosmic Cruisers:
ARC Clone Fighter
Naboo Fighter
Snowspeeder

Jedi Wisdom:
Kit Fisto
Mace Windu
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Yoda
Once again, the chase figure in the series is Darth Vader, who has a special feature. By pressing the chest panel, you can hear the Sith Lord making his trademark breathing sounds.
These toys come in a case of 200 pieces, with only 4 Vaders per box each week. The rest of the toys are shipped 49 each per case.
Much like the last promotion, there will be different toys available each week. The first week consists of the following:
Chewbacca Galactic Spinner
Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Wisdom

Stormtrooper Shadow Caster
Darth Vader Breathing Sounds
The second week consists of:

It also appears that some restaurants are selling their leftover stock from last spring's promotion. So be sure to check which toy you get in your value meal!
Destiny Watches
Another promotion starting today is the a series of reversible watches. As you might expect, there are 6 watches in the series, one for each movie. Each watch features a reversible faceplate that tells the time on one side and features a hologram on the other side. They are as follows:
Episode I - Obi-Wan / Darth Maul
Episode II - Yoda / Count Dooku
Episode III - Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
Episode IV - Luke Skywalker / Stormtrooper
Episode V - Han Solo / Boba Fett
Episode VI - Princess Leia / Jabba the Hutt
The watches are available in special tin cylinders with the characters and Star Wars logos embossed on them.
Starting today, both Episodes I (Maul) and IV (Luke) are available. Price is $1.99 each
Gift Cards
Another really cool promotion collectible are a series of lenticular gift cards, which can be charged and recharged much like debit cards, good for Burger King food purchases. There are 6 cards in the series:
Episode I Obi-Wan / Darth Maul
Episode II Yoda / Count Dooku
Episode III Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
Episode IV Luke Skywalker / Darth Vader
Episode V Han Solo / Boba Fett
Episode VI Princess Leia / Jabba the Hutt
Packaging
There is a whole new series of Star Wars-themed packaging, including cups, boxes, and bags. The new bag also has an error on the side, switching the names for the Vulture Droid and the Naboo Fighter.
Website
As with any good promotion, Burger King has opened up a new section of their website to show off the new toys. Go to the Burger King website for details on the items available starting today.
