Have It Your Way Destiny Watches
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 truly allow you to "Have It Your Way" -- each liquid crystal digital watch face can be flipped to reveal a laser hologram image on the reverse, and each sports two completely different patterns on each side of the watch bands.
What's more, the two halves of each watch band can be swiveled independently, allowing for eight different configurations! EDITOR'S NOTE: STOP STOP STOP! TOO MANY CHOICES. MUST LIE DOWN NOW......
Each watch comes 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 free with Kids Meal Super-D saga figures starting November 7 and running through December 11, or while supplies last. EDITOR'S NOTE: I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE ON A DIET. I DON'T CARE IF BEEF DISGUSTS YOU AND THE THOUGHT OF EATING CORPORATE JUNK FOOD IS AGAINST YOUR RELIGION.
I MUST OWN ALL OF THESE. (AND YES, THAT IS THE DARKSIDE TYPING, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T A TRUE MANDATE).
AND SPEAKING OF OUR CUPS RUNNING OVER.....
