Sad news. This is the last week of the Star Wars toys at Burger King. I never thought that $1 toys could be so cool! While I'm sure many will continue to have some of the toys in stock after this week and will probably continue to put them in kids meals until they run out, this is the last week that new toys will be released. This second wave of Burger King toys was limited in number when compared to the first wave that was released when Revenge of the Sith debuted in the theaters in late May. The first wave ran 6 weeks. Each week had 6 different toys, whereas this release of BK Star Wars toys ran only 4 weeks, with 4 toys, and 3 weeks of 2 watches.

This current wave of BK Star Wars toys had my favorite style of toys, the fortune teller. Each week one toy figure contained a die with answers printed on it, visible while looking at it from the bottom. The fortune telling worked similar to the Magic 8 Ball toy. Ask a question, shake the figure, turn him upside down and read the answer. I'd like to thank my SW buds Jose and Kris for grabbing a set of the final week of BK Star Wars toys for me. Below is a picture of the entire second wave of BK Star Wars toys that was released to commemorate the release of Revenge of the Sith on DCD. I drew a circle around the 4th week of Star Wars toys.
