Not sure if this has been posted here yet, I had a quick browse but didn't see any mentions of it.

But currently in the UK's EMPIRE Cinema in London's Leicester Square as part of their Kids meal deal (ha, it's definitely not gonna be just the kids queuing up) they're giving away a Muppets Movie cup with a character Topper, yaaay! :smile:

Now I'm such a big fan I went in with a friend to buy some popcorn, even though I wasn't going to see a film! I couldn't resist, does that surprise anyone on here, am I on my own there ? Got a feeling i'm not! (I would've seen Arthur Christmas but they weren't showing it) But anyway, the manager let us sneak through to the food stand, and the guy behind the counter even through in an extra Animal topper to go with my Piggy and Kermit :smile:

I'm pretty sure they have a Gonzo and Fozzie as well, but I didn't see those.

And just to show how sad I am...ahem...I mean enthusiastic....here's a few pics :smile:

Amazing. Is this unique to empire cinemas? My only local is an odeon. If anyone is in London and able to get these for me I would be grateful. I would of course pay and the postage costs too.

Your not alone uk muppet fan!!

How come it seems like the uk gets all the awesome muppets stuff when compared to the us? For instance, the primark Christmas wrapping paper, the disneystore puzzle and mugs and Kermit and animal a5 notebooks, and now this?!?!?

I WISH the US HAD MORE MUPPETS!!!
