I might have to get me a happy meal. I wonder if these happy meal toys are ever collectable?

I wonder if these happy meal toys are ever collectable?

I do seem to recall that the beanie babies that they included a few years back creted a stir, but that was when people were going nuts for those things.

[Barbarianoutkast85]

I want a check for $2500 I could buy a lot of 5 cent pieces of bubble gum with that...

[Melf]

I'm all over this. I love this game-related Happy Meal goodies. Wendys had some cool Kirby and Mario ones and the McDonald's Sonic Happy Meal box was awesome.

[rbudrick]

I'll probably wait and buy all of them at once on eBay. Usually they end up going for very cheap prices in lots.

-Rob

[charitycasegreg]

They beccame really cheap on ebay, the last sega toys, I still have over 100 of them but htye are worthless...oh well.

[izret101]

Worthless but cool.

[DigitalSpace]

I still find sealed ones from the last promotion at Goodwill.

Cool stuff though, nice to see McDonald's is doing this again.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Do you think this is a promo for Sonic DS perhaps? classic B&W "Game and Watch" devices are a fav

[Half Cab Leroy]

I might have to go to McDonalds for dinner tonight.

[joshnickerson]

I've got the old Sonic and the old Knuckles units. Nice distraction, but nothing more than Game and Watch style games.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

here's a rundown on all of 'em.

I like the Billy hatcher one... :)

[grayrobertos]

lol at being able to play them

[Funk Buddy]

One difference with these compaired to the last time is you can't see the toy. With a special one in the bunch, finding them sealed could be hard until the silver one is found. Of course you could just go to McD's. :)

[Promophile]

Wonder if I'll get lucky again. This is from the Gold nintendo toy thingy a year or 3 ago. Same rarity as a silver sonic.

News article about it. Guess they weren't AS rare.

[charitycasegreg]

Damn, I wish I still worked at McDonalds. I have gotten at least 200 toys when I worked there all for free, mayb eI could have got the rare sonic one?... probably not.

Picked up one last night....(red)

[pixelsnpolygons]

I was pulling into the drive though last night and saw the big SEGA Happy Meal ad and just had to get it. I plan on getting a Happy Meal after work every time I work nights until the promo is over - thats two Happy Meals a week. Last night I got a two tone blue Sonic skating game.

[Raworrare]

I have a question? are the silver games variations on the regular colored games or is it a new game?

[Perkar]

actually, they're definitely pimping Sonic Heroes with this one....

the bag says something like "Be a Sonic Hero!" and it's got poses used on the cover of the Heroes game...

[SuperGunGuru]

As a poor college student, I still work there. Our owner would never give away anything like that to us. I'm just waiting for a customer to ask us if we have any of the silver ones available. LOL

[Ed Oscuro]

OMG RARE!!11 SILVER (HANDHELD? NOT SURE BECAUSE THE NEWS CUOET SUX) BAG > Sonic Heroes or Sonic Mega Collection Plus

[Promophile]

I'm Interested in how much these silver ones go for on ebay when they start getting out there. if there are only 2500 produced that puts them up there in rarity. I'm sure the games aren't that great, but neither are lots of the rare atari/ NES games...

[izret101]

Usually they only give away certain versions during different weeks in the month.
Poeple who are getting them should ask at the drive thru for ones thay don't have i bet you will get them.If not it was still worth a shot.

[HC Andersson]

Why even talking about those things?

Isn't the Sonic game the worst game ever made even for being a G&W clone?! You collectors really need to remember why you like games so much. LOL

[Perkar]

well, i only have 4 of the toys so far... and they're all #1's. :(

i REALLY REALLY want to open up them all to see if i got a silver one, but at the same time, want to keep them sealed for collecting purposes. i'm torn. opinion?

[GaijinPunch]

Too bad happy meals don't include anything that could pass for food.

[Dahne]

That's pretty darn cool. I'll have to go get one of those sometime soon.

But what to do with the putrid food?

[Promophile]

Comon, its not THAT bad. Their burgers go down in one or two bites, and the fries are at least semi-palatable.

[skoldpadda]

My dogs sure do like them! (the happy meal burgers and fries)

[Promophile]

Picked up two happy meals tonight. Believe it or not but the sonic game wasn't bad, haven't played the knuckles game yet.

[Blendo75]

You can pick one up without buying food, that's what I did. I got a #4. I thought that they just came out today because the McD's by me didnt have any until now. I hope I havent missed out on any.

[Cauterize]

i hope these come to the UK, the others look so ace on my shelves!

What are they in? An opaque bag? If so, get pictures of the units and feel the bag for shape to see which one is in it. If you must know if it's a silver one, make a pinhole in the bag...you should be able to see if it's silver or whatever.

-Rob

[SegaAges]

it's a good thing one of my good friend's little sister's works at a mickey d's. she would happily jack a bunch of these for me. hell yeah. i'm about to have the whole set, and if a silver one comes up at her store, i am all over it. hell yeah

[izret101]

She knows if she get caught she looses her job right?

Give ya a buck a piece. If you can get me each one.

The bags are opaque but they are numbered and have the name of the game on them.

[tholly]

i have the set of 8 sealed at home waiting for me when i get home from xmas break

i picked up the set off ebay for $25

...now, i just have to decide if i want to open them and check for silver or not
