Jul 19 2010What, No Death Star Sugar Bombs?!: Collectible Lil Star Wars Cereal Boxes
Cereal: it's the most important meal of the day. And apparently they're giving away these collectible Star Wars cereal boxes at Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida, August 12th - 15th. Anybody else notice something special about those dates? The 12th is my birthday! *sniff* I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO! Kidding, I'm huffing brake fluid.
"We are thrilled to announce the exclusive giveaways," says Lopez. "In addition to listening to fascinating talks and panels by some of the leading experts on Star Wars collecting, attendees will receive collectible cereal boxes based on Star Wars character 'cereal brands' highlighting each of the sixteen panel topics."
Chris Georgoulias led the effort working with collectors, sponsors, and artists, who contributed to the concepts, funding, and artwork of this completely fan-sponsored giveaway. There are sixteen mini cereal boxes to collect (they are about four inches tall), one for each panel, and they are exclusive to Celebration V! Only 400 of each will be made available
I posted all the boxes that have been revealed to date after the jump, but you can check back at StarWars.com to see the remaining designs as they're announced. Me? In an hour I won't even remember I wrote this.
Hit it for a plethora of boxes.

Thanks to Paul, deadpan and Captain Canada, who eat their cereal out of monster truck tires the way God intended.

Looks like Han shot first, at least in cereal box canon.

Also, why does Han Solo look like Sarah Jessica Parker?

GW SUCKS!!! worst website on the entire interwebz
11. Conway - July 19, 2010 2:04 PM
The admiral ackbar cereal was on Robot Chicken. Including the tagline in small print "Their tongues cant repel flavor of that magnitude"
12. Richard McBeef - July 19, 2010 2:04 PM
@10 - then GTFO. For how bad the GW sucks and how terrible the website is you sure do like to post on it multiple times saying the exact same fucking thing over and over.
13. GrapesOfRough - July 19, 2010 2:08 PM
Yay! GW and I have the same birthday! Aug. 12 FTW. I feel so special.
14. Richard McBeef - July 19, 2010 2:12 PM
Rough Daddy, I thought you only lurked around the superficial?
15. Courageous - July 19, 2010 2:13 PM
Any idea how one can acquire these without travelling all the way from Ottawa to Orlando? Because that's a long way to go just to hear everyone yelling "It's a trap!"...

@15 eBay
17. RiotDX - July 19, 2010 2:22 PM
I hear the Admiral Acbar box is actually a trap
18. Courageous - July 19, 2010 2:26 PM
fink tinkle, thanks... I was hoping to avoid "the place that must not be named"... after collecting comics for over 40 years, my collection was worth a $#!+-load of money before that service came along and reduced my retirement plan to nothing... not that I am bitter or anything... ;-)

@10: what 12 said. it's just stupid to hate on GW by POSTING ON HIS WEBSITE.
20. Shelbon - July 19, 2010 2:51 PM
these aren't the flakes you're looking for
21. @12 & 19 - July 19, 2010 2:51 PM
I agree with poop GW's gotten so fucking awful.
22. Niro - July 19, 2010 2:56 PM

@25 - I must have missed that while having sex with organic women.
27. laforges - July 19, 2010 4:03 PM
I hope ROBOT CHICKEN gets credit for the Admiral Ackbar cereal.
If memory serves me correct, they had a skit with this already.
28. Homer Simpson - July 19, 2010 4:04 PM
IT'S A TRAP!!!
29. Cup-O-Jesus - July 19, 2010 5:10 PM
@28 Oh I get it. It's like there is a picture of Admiral Akbar on the box and you said "It's a trap", which is what he says in the movie. So you said the same thing he did, which is funny because he... it's...
Wait.
30. Emily - July 19, 2010 5:14 PM
The 12th is my birthday too! :D
31. gbnsd - July 19, 2010 7:31 PM
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[ S E E K C O U G AR (C 0 /M)_]---a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends
