These are the normal price at $2 or free with the Happy Meal but hear me out. From the last deal in the US unopened toy sets are worth for $10USD, Opened Foils for $4-50USD and Non Foils $1USD. I'm not advocating for people to scalp these, I'm using the resale value to demonstrate this is a bargain.

    Got 2 packs, rack pack has one holo card, how rare are the holos?

    • Nighteyes on 10/09/2021 - 21:18

      Seems like a holo in each pack, opened 3 so far.

    Thanks guys, all 3 of my local maccas are sold out of pokemon cards….

    • popsiee on 09/09/2021 - 12:34

      Plenty on Ebay .

        I know you're being facitious, but I wouldn't support scalpers in any way. Also the packs are searchable, you can shine a light through the back and see what the front holo is, so I'd assume all the unopened packs on eBay are a scam.

  • Kods on 09/09/2021 - 12:30

    They haven't received any stock in Bondi Junction despite advertising it on the screens. The staff is telling us that they won't have any before next week…

      I got given space jam too, but when I insisted with my 3 yr old next to me they pulled one out. Plenty of dodgy going on in store….

      Also disappointed I ordered two hash browns and the bags they were in didn’t have monopoly stickers.

        (profanity), where can I borrow a 3yo from?

  • popsiee on 09/09/2021 - 13:09

    Anyway 2 important steps .

    1) Use the 20% off in app if you have it .
    2) Tell them to put the food in bags and not in the cardboard happy meal card board . Keep this mint .

    • aerona on 09/09/2021 - 13:26

      Keep it mint for what ;)

      • popsiee on 09/09/2021 - 14:55

        To use for packaging .
        Option is also to buy at $2 which at next place scored 60 .
        I was about to get more in multiples of 25 and the Manager stopped it .
        The 20% App offer only goes to up to $100 .

    • cloudy on 09/09/2021 - 15:26

      Why keep it mint, the kids tear it apart anyway, unless you’re scalping.

        I'm a big kid trying to put together a collection X 22 .
        I'd be a fool not to take whatever option they give me at $2 a pack being a value investor .
        Its like leaving $5 notes per pack on the ground and walking by .
        You can do it I won't .

        • cloudy on 09/09/2021 - 15:41
          +7

          Value investor, big kid? Cmon man, just own up and say what you are.

          Let’s say you can sell them for double the $2 each, after eBay fees, and the work of listing and posting you’re not exactly making a killing.

          You’re picking up pennies at the expense of kids.

          • popsiee on 09/09/2021 - 15:43

            @cloudy: I make bigger profits on much higher price items to be messing around selling a pack of these for $10 .

              +2

              @popsiee: I’m so confused, lol

              On one hand you’re a fool for not snapping these up for $2, and on the other you’re too cool to make a buck reselling these and only do high priced items.

              • popsiee on 09/09/2021 - 15:52
                -1

                @cloudy: Think about the only way you can get them is `^ing around at Macca's .
                Not everybody can do it so make them a lot harder than other Pokemon cards to get that all major retailers have.
                Hence should be great to lock away for a rainy day .

    Well I just bought my kids a happy meal each for lunch… and they both got a holographic pokemon card each - including a pikachu one…

    Are they more common than the internet thinks or did we just get really lucky?

    • acidantics on 09/09/2021 - 14:03

      All packs have a holo, as far as i know Pikachu isn't any more rare than others just more desirable.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/09/2021 - 18:07

      You got lucky in terms of value but not rarity. 1/25 chance of getting Pikachu Holo in a pack. Its $50 if you were to sell it. I'd hold on to it and sleeve it will appreciate over time.

      • sparkles on 15/09/2021 - 13:53

        The Pikachu Holo's must be common as. I only got one pack, and got one.

  • Ozjonno on 09/09/2021 - 13:57

    No stock at auburn maccas yet, still have space jam.

  • Archi on 09/09/2021 - 14:13

    i only got the normal happy meal box..

    the packet that came with the meals were white and only had a pack of cards a maze and card holder in it.

    i bought separately an additional 2x toys. those came in black.. inside was additional stickers and background.

    each pack had a shiny card. didn't get any doubles.

      The manager at Warringah Mall was a good guy and let me buy 10 once I explained I'm collecting the cards. But he said only 2 per customer apart from Happy meals after me cos he got a call from management. I'm gonna open and post on Youtube and Tiktok tonight.

  • ippy on 09/09/2021 - 14:20

    Darling Harbour, NSW (not Harbourside) would only sell one pack per person. I was with my partner so we got one each. Darling Square told me they had none left.

    Both packs came with the card case. I wanted stickers lol. Both packs had one holo, one pack had a double… well it was one holo and one regular -_-

        I not sure of any policy on the amount of card packs they can sell . None of my visits did they state 2 extra at $2 each yet .
        Basically its open slather .

      • ippy on 09/09/2021 - 21:54

        yes that's what I said, both packs had one holo.

        Jesus 10 packs? The manager at Darling harbour was like, "look, I only have 100 packs so I can only sell you one" and I said fine.

        btw the maccas website says "One toy or book per Happy Meal®. Limit of two additional Happy Meal Pokémon toy purchases per transaction"

    Guys be reasonable when you buy. Don't horde like 100s of packs to resell later. Ruining it for kids who actually want to play with them. From an investor point of view, people are making thousands, tens and hundreds of thousands from crypto currency, property and other financial products.. not common McDonald Pokemon cards. Maybe in 10 years, the $2 card will become $50. Congratulations.. everyone's houses just made a million times more in that same time.

        This isn’t high school mate. It’s real life. $48 will get you a nice meal. And 25x isn’t that hard to believe in property given what happened over the last 2 decades. At 5% deposit with house prices doubling every 7 years. Say 10 years, prices have gone up 150%, that’s more than 25x return off initial investment. Of course prices will unlikely go up that much anymore.

        • aerona on 09/09/2021 - 23:21

          How is 150%, 25x?
          Its okay, i understand what you're saying. But i don't think collecting is just for the kids.

          After all it is the pokemon 25th anniversary pack. The only ones obtaining 100 quantity you say are the people who have seedy connections to managers. I don't think i have heard anyone buying 100 quantity around here. There are some listed on eBay with a full box or 180x with about 10x mark up though. The fact you need about 25 packets minimum to even get a full deck of no holos is pretty crappy and most stores only lasted a day or two. The supply should have been bigger. I think each store got about 2 boxes, 180x in each box.

          Secondly if the USA could forecast how this promotion would turn out. Why would they repeat it when they knew scalpers would enter. Did we really think that everyone will do the right thing and complain it should just be for the kids.

      @Beachy Don't worry m8 I was very generous and gave my kids the outer stickers and carboard scene on a couple of them to play with .
      As long as the sealed pack of cards was mine to join the hoard .

  • Funkton on 10/09/2021 - 01:48

      Those stores are following the policy, put in place for fairness, from head office. That's a good thing. At my local, they were sold out within 24 hours, indicating that the manager and/or employees were taking/selling boxes for themselves and/or indulging scalpers.

    I don't really understand how this promo works. In order to collect 'em all, when and how many do I need to buy? The stores around me last week appeared to only stock packs numbered "1" and "3" and "card case" on the reverse.

    • aerona on 16/09/2021 - 00:42

      Doesn't matter what the number is, as they all have the same booster pack. Only thing different is the additional activity or item. You may need around 25 to maybe 50. But you can swap with others
