    Yayyyyy, more landfill.

    • Bryanalves on 16/11/2019 - 13:28

      This isnt a deal. The toy in a happy meal is priced into the meal (i.e. it costs more than a small cheeseburgar meal).

      Informing what the toy is isnt a deal unless every time they change the toy it counts as a new deal?

      • brandogs on 16/11/2019 - 13:36
        +25

        Wrong. Cheeseburger Happy meal is $5.80, a small cheeseburger meal is $6.55. You are actually getting a discount and a free toy if you buy a happy meal.

        But I am with you on this being classified as a deal, a toy is standard with a happy meal.

          • rye on 16/11/2019 - 21:40

            @Bryanalves: Toys are usually able to be purchased without the purchase of a happy meal. The toy is free if you buy a happy meal. How is that not a deal?

            @Bryanalves: how about free limited edition toy?

        You also get the box which is half the fun.

        So jealous! My aunty was manager of a McDonalds store at the time so I was able to get all the toys even though I very rarely ate McDonalds.

        • tdw on 17/11/2019 - 07:32

          there was one from the set i missed out on. but i can't for the life of me remember what it was.

            @tdw: there was a big mac, a cheeseburger, fries and a drink in this series.

            • tdw on 22/11/2019 - 02:30

              @Laserface: thanks!

    You can usually buy a happy meal toy for $2. You reckon maccas will do the same for these?

    • chihaeru on 16/11/2019 - 13:38

      I hope so! So keen to get some of these…

    • RickyJ on 23/11/2019 - 00:56

      Yeah, my local is selling them for $2. They let me choose which ones I wanted too.

      You reckon they've been holding onto them for 30 years?

      • TogTogTogTog on 16/11/2019 - 15:20

        Doubt it. If my bargain knowledge is on point, Patti the Platypus is worth ~$100.

      They have “2019" on the bottom of them.

  • pennypincher98 on 16/11/2019 - 16:08

    +1 for Maccas desperate marketing ploy (that'll most likely work very well).

    Oh, you know those toys you enjoyed as a kid but now you are an adult with your own kids? We're bringing them back so you can relive your childhood through your kids.

    • PainToad on 16/11/2019 - 19:31

      you know those toys you enjoyed as a kid but now you are an adult with your own kids?

      Your parents exposed you to harmful advertising from McDonald's which creates an irrational lifetime consumption pattern of McDonald's products provided the victim is aged below 8 years of age before exposure.

      Now you continue the cycle with your own children who will also become irrational lifelong consumers of McDonald's products.

      They have a box of assorted toys and let you choose which ones you want.

  • fruxo on 16/11/2019 - 17:51

    That's pretty funny, I remember the Dino box. My son wants the power ranger. Will they all be released and you get a random one, or does it switch by day/week?

      You guys are weird. I thought we were talking about nostalgia, I remember a few crazy friends doing this back in the day.
      But hey I guess you wanna neg me because you missed out on having a good laugh when some of your mates did something stupid. Btw most of them are now married with children albeit with a few stories to tell.

    I vaguely remember the various toy helments that act as a cover that came with the happy meal. Only firefighter and police helment comes to mind… But that was like 30 years ago…

  • Lucky13 on 17/11/2019 - 05:49

    • Jenny Death on 17/11/2019 - 13:14

      Yes. with the usual sets they rotate through two boys and two girls toys a week and you can always request specific ones. This set is more likely to have all 15 available at once.

    Does the Tamagotchi function fully? It seems crazy that they can just give one away in a happy meal when they are so expensive to buy by themselves.

      It functions as a novelty toy.

        Oh god, it doesn't function like a Tamagotchi at all. Thought there was something strange about just giving Tamagotchi away. Makes more sense that they are giving away a red light shaped as a Tamagotchi.

      They are random. You won't know until you open it. Person at the counter was kind enough for me to have a feel for the toy since I wanted Red Ranger.

    Managed to get the two I really wanted. Maccas girl helped me find them. FYI, Toy 1 is the Hamburger Changeable and Toy 5 is the Dino Changeable. They are sealed but numbered.

      Edit: I originally only wanted my favourite two thinking I would need to eat the Happy Meal. Can confirm you can ask to just buy the toy for $2.50 each instead of a $5.60 Happy Meal. So … I bought the rest:

      Toy 1 - Hamburger Changeable
      Toy 2 - Cowboy McNugget
      Toy 3 - Mailman McNugget
      Toy 4 - Fireman McNugget
      Toy 5 - Dino Changeable
      Toy 6 - Grimace
      Toy 7 - Hamburglar
      Toy 8 - Hotwheels Thunderbird
      Toy 9 - Not produced
      Toy 10 - Bugs Bunny
      Toy 11 - Beanie Baby Platypus
      Toy 12 - My Little Pony
      Toy 13 - Furby
      Toy 14 - Red PowerRanger
      Toy 15 - Hello Kitty
      Toy 16 - Tamogotchi
