I think this guy needs to get out of the house more(and I mean someplace other than the grocery store..)

"The bowl of cereal stared at me. I could almost hear the wafers speaking to me as they do in the commercials. The rambunctious sweet side of the wheat biscuits was saying "It's gonna be good Dude." The side without the sugar, with its trademark highbrow accent, seemed to say, "Indubitably, you shall be dismayed."

Yep, that guy needs some serious lobotomization. I'm sure his Mini Wheats aren't the only thing he hears talking to him, though they're probably the one cereal that's schizo like he is.

There's actually a whole PILE of food-based Star Wars promotions happening in the next month or so. A real overwhelming amount for completists/collectors.

Rebelscum is tracking what's coming out: http://www.rebelscum.com/swdb/cats.asp?id=1551

(I can't wait to get my lightsaber spoon! )

I'm curious as to why some of these Episode 3 collectibles would exist:

Darth Maul? Making a return as a 2-piece ensemble? Han Solo at age, what, 12? The Millennium Falcon? Didn't know it was THAT old. Luke and Leia--in diapers?

I wouldn't mind them putting a Y-Wing in a background shot of Ep III as long as it gave them an excuse to release a Y-Wing toy with a slot for the astromech droid.

And the whole Lactaid milk is not watery at all, my wife says it tastes sweeter than regular milk to her.

Has anyone noticed the cereal boxes? They have an anthropomorphic mini-wheat wielding a lightsaber, kinda cute actually.

Burger King's promotion will cover the entire 6 films, not just the new one. Links to a marketing guide showing this stuff is here:

Sorry to pull a comic book guy on you, but the Falcon is almost certainly pre-Clone War vintage. They even had one like it in a scene in Ep2.

Cool, I guess I just never put that much thought into it, but I suppose it was an antique at that.

Correction. Someone in that thread "guesses" the transfer will be better...

He's wrong.

Ah, just eat the cereal (my kids love the miniwheats), get the DVD for free and then trade it in for some credit somewhere. You should get at least $5 for it in trade.

There was also a Kellogg's coupon in last sunday's circulars for $1 off 2 boxes, if you can locate a few of those, you can save another $3 on the deal.

Yep, becuase it is the same version that was out a couple of years ago. I am sure it is just coming back out for Episode III.

Well, that's good news. I get tired of trading-up all the time.

Somebody must want Ep I, because DVds123 is still paying $16.50 wholesale for the widescreen (though only $9.50 for the fullscreen - it was over $20 a little while back).

Just got back from the grocery store... tons of Mini Wheats with the Episode I DVD offer.

They also had Frosted Flakes with Yoda on the cover, ready to kick ass. I bought one to get my Saber Spoon. It's a red one, lights up, pretty neat... looks like tomorrow's breakfast will be on the 'dark side'.

I saw the deal. My wife practically lives on cereal. But I figure for the cost of the shipping I will probably get a Full Screen Episode 1 disk. No thanks. I didn't like Ep I that much anyway (which is why I don't already have it).

Somebody somehow confirms it is widescreen and I am in, though.
