Burger King prepares to unleash a
second wave of Star Wars collectibles

Burger King spent the summer filling Star Wars toy collector stockings with a seemingly never-ending line of Star Wars collectibles. Now, the second wave is poised to launch Nov. 7, just as "Revenge of the Sith" becomes available on DVD.

Burger King's new line of Star Wars toys will include seventeen more toys. You will be able to collect four Cosmic Cruisers, four Shadow Casters, four Galactic Spinners and four Jedi Wisdom toys, not to mention one Darth Vader chase figure. And you can also collect all six Destiny Watches!

Here is a complete list of the Star Wars toys you will soon be able to collect:

Cosmic Cruisers -- rolling spring-loaded vehicles that launch from special keys inserted in the back:

* ARC Clone Fighter
* Vulture Droid
* Naboo Starfighter
* Snowspeeder

Shadow Casters --- by depressing a button on the back, an image is projected from the bottom of the figure:

* Stormtrooper with Imperial logo
* Queen Amidala with Anakin Skywalker
* Bail Organa with Yoda
* R2-D2 with Princess Leia

Galactic Spinners -- tops that you rev up and spin on a "whirler" revealed by removing the figure's lower half:

* Emperor Palpatine
* Chewbacca
* Luke Skywalker
* Anakin Skywalker

Jedi Wisdom -- magic fortune telling cubes are revealed beneath these four Jedi figures:

* Obi-Wan Kenobi from A New Hope
* Mace Windu
* Kit Fisto
* Yoda

The most difficult to find Burger King Star Wars toy will be a Darth Vader chase figure with sound chip.

In addition to the new figures and vehicles, six unique flip watches commemorating each film in the saga will also be available in special collectible tins. The six Destiny Watches come in a collectible tin with stylized embossed imagery and one of six titles from the Star Wars saga.

Look for the Destiny Watches, which will be available for $1.99 with the purchase of any Adult Value Meal, and the free with Kids Meal Super-D saga figures starting November 7 and running through December 11, or while supplies last.
