Turns out there wasn't much of a strong push for The Phantom Menace 3D in Thailand, but Rebelscum reader Alexander G, who is serving there as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer, was able to find a collector's set of two coffee style plastic cups and a popcorn bucket at the Paragon Cineplex in Bangkok. The set was being offered at the theatre for the equivalent of $7. Click the thumbnails above for a closer look and see if you can spot the typo.

Belgium Star Wars are currently being offered one of two free figural cups with the purchase of any two specially marked Kellogg's products. The Phantom Menace 3D promotion, oddly enough, is in Spanish, but Belgians speak Dutch and French primarily, so it is a bit odd. Collectors can choose between an Artoo-Detoo cup and a Darth Maul cup. Hats off to Rebelscum reader Jan for the image above of the point of purchase shelf topper and both cups.

If you were looking for a cereal spoon promotion to come out of The Phantom Menace 3D's release, you'll have to go to Sweden and look for specially marked boxes of Coco Pops, Coco Pops Crunchy, and Rice Krispies. There are four spoons in the series, one randomly placed in each box, including Darth Maul, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, and Jar Jar Binks (even though he has no place on a Lightsaber spoon really...). Thanks goes out to Rebelscum reader Mats J for the images of the point of purchase standees and product information. We hope to have images of the boxes and spoons shortly.
