Tuesday, October 30, 2012. STAR WARS (1977) Burger King Premium Posters. It's amazing to think that back in January of 1978, you could score one of these gorgeous, Del Nichols. Posters - and a matching, collectible drinking glass. For the price of a regular soft drink at your local Burger King (or Burger Chef) restaurant. These much-desired premiums were sponsored by Coca-Cola, and are highly prized today. Personally, I think they're probably my favorite Star Wars. October 30, 2012 at 5:02 AM. April 12, ...

http://space1970.blogspot.com/2015/06/star-trek-phaser-battle-commercial.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. STAR TREK Phaser Battle commercial. Here's a vintage commercial for Mego's Star Trek.

It also was very expensive, selling for around $70 in 1976 dollars! June 25, 2015 at 2:43 PM.
