Regarding the next Star Wars event in the UK — Feel the Force of Star Wars... at Burger King — comes this press release:
FEEL THE FORCE OF STAR WARS® AT BURGER KING® MEMORABILIA ROADSHOWS

Fans of all ages are being urged to dig out their old Star Wars® toys, t-shirts, posters and other memorabilia and find out whether their item from ‘a galaxy far, far away’ could turn out to be worth a small fortune!

To celebrate the launch of STAR WARS: EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH, BURGER KING® has joined forces with film prop and promotion specialists Weird & Wonderful and one of the UK’s leading toy experts, to host Star Wars® themed ‘walk in’ memorabilia roadshows at restaurants in London, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Customers will be able to find out whether they may have had a hidden gem in their attic, courtesy of expert valuer, John Hemmelstein, who will be on hand to provide ‘on the spot’ valuations of Star Wars® memorabilia.

Fans will almost feel like they are stepping onto the set of a Star Wars® movie, with the chance to see life size replica characters from the films, including Darth Vader™, Bobba Fett™, R2D2™, C3PO™ and a host of Stormtroopers™ – a great photo opportunity for little AND big kids alike!

The events will take place from 8th May at the following locations:
  • Sunday 8th May (3:00pm – 6:00pm) - BURGER KING® Leicester Square, London
  • Tuesday 10th May (4:00pm – 7:00pm)– BURGER KING®, Princess Street, Edinburgh

Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
