Let us sing songs of Kahless and the Great Whopper Feast.
 
Re: The Burger King's gone KLINGON!

I didn't see any Star Trek BK threads up...
There's one here in which people have been discussing the various BK promos, so I'll merge yours into it and amend the title with a mention of Klingons. Stand by...
 
Re: Burger King - Promotional Item Pics (Glasses + Standee)

I got all four and all the toys! A guy I used to work with has a second job at BK and he got everything for me.

The Enterprise ramscoops are orange? Cool!
Love the BK as Klingon, some how he's not as scary like that.

I didn't see any Star Trek BK threads up so I figured I'd start with this http://trekmovie.com/2009/05/02/exc...star-trek-toys-glasses-image-from-commercial/ I don't know about you, but seeing the KING dressed as a klingon made me cringe a little! I Mean it's just so stupid! I thought the point of this movie was to get AWAY from the ''TREKKIE'' sterotype of dressing up as klingons?

And is that Martok on the right hand side?:wtf:
I agree; not cool at all... or maybe now it is cool to be a Trekkie?! I'M SOOOOO CONFUSED?!?!?!:cardie:

Now THAT rapes my childhood! Does anyone know the US Customer Service hotline number for BK? My local BKs still say they won't be running the promotion.

I think you'll have to get in line behind people complaining about the BK "I like square butts" ad.

They have the oddest ad campaigns. All I know is they must not expect a guy like me to eat there. But, I'll still get the glasses. I may even eat a Whopper. The things I'll do for Trek.

"I like square butts" was the funniest ad I've seen in a while. But I'm a fan of randomness, sooo....

Noticed that too huh?Unfortunatly I think the person designing these glasses just didn't get the memo that the bussards are supposed to be blue in this movie!
 
Re: Burger King - Promo Item Pics (Glasses+Standee)(Now with Klingons!

Do we have confirmation from someone who's seen it that they're always blue? I assumed they'd change colors with speed- it seems like the sort of thing someone trying to cool-up the ship would do. Not glowing when the ship's not moving, then slowly getting brighter blue as it goes faster, then at some point turning either white, then orange, or vice versa. I think it'd be kind of cool, actually.

Not that I'm crushed if they're always blue.

I'm not so sure about the bussards.
I don't know what happens in the movie but over at the Nokia-Verizon Trek site they have this little mobile phone wallpaper.

So maybe there is something to this.

Did I miss something, because I didn't see any Trek sets, maybe they're yet to come (after the 8th when everyone knows what they look like?)

It's possible. Perhaps there will be like an in-joke mini series of commercials (I've seen it done before.)

Maybe the bussards change color depending on use much like the nav deflector in TMP.

That's what I figure. It's happened on too many official media tie-ins to just be some graphic artists thinking they are correcting errors.
 
Re: Burger King - Promo Item Pics (Glasses+Standee)(Now with Klingons!

My thinking is that it may have something to do with Scotty, and doing something to the warp engines.

The pics may be spoilers, showing the ship at the end of the movie (most shots released in trailers and spots all seem to have blue bussards, and those are from, seemingly, the main parts of the movie).

Got the shuttle today in a kids' meal. I'm freaking people in work out, because no one knows where the hell this weird voice, ordering, "Approaching Drop Zone!" is coming from...
