I looked at all 8 packs, 4 are made in china and 4 are made in vietnam, I wonder why?   I just said 'give me a full set please' and they dug through the box and sold me a full set.  not all mcdonalds do that i dont think. i went to the mcdonalds in the south point ohio walmart.

the vietnam ponies are in a wider bag that has a less clear plastic
the china ponies are in a smaller bag that has very clear plastic, without opening the bags I can see no difference between the china and vietnam ponies
