Title: Happy Meal toys headed to AU in May
Post by: cobalte on April 07, 2012, 03:15:57 AM: http://www.happymeal.com.au/en_AU/index.html#/Home

I can't fully see the link above, but apparently MLP are coming to Happy Meals here next month :cheer:
Sans Fluttershy, unfortunately :( there always seems to be some silly cut when the toys head here.

It's been long enough, almost 2 years since the first lot were released in the US!

Any excuse to go to McDs! Although UK McDonalds seems more focused on educating kids or giving children "activities" than giving them toys at the moment....whats with that???? *irony* lol....

Me too, me too! :D The toys they've been giving out lately are crappy, if they started doing MLP I'm sure my dietician would be very pleased with me! (struggling anorexic) :')

But they only stock Pinkie, RD, Rarity and Twilight by the looks of it D:
Also they have no vegetarian options. Is it possible to just buy the toys by themselves?
I'll just have to arrange a pony hunting trip to mc donalds with my friends! If mc donalds won't let us get the ponies by themselves I can feed the burgers to my friends :P haha!

Post by: cobalte on April 08, 2012, 05:27:08 AM: Unfortunately when a lot of McD's toy sets come here from over yonder some toys in the line do get omitted :( I'm happy we're finally getting them, though

Post by: xkelpiex on April 08, 2012, 06:17:46 AM: No Fluttershy, Cheerilee or Lily Blossom D: At least you guys are getting some at any rate. Better than nothing, I guess.

Or Apple Jack it looks like.

It is probably cheaper to manufacture a smaller selection: let production lines or die swaps need to be run.

If shipping isn't terrible, you might hit the trade forum and swap for those you aren't getting. I know I could use a few more Pinkie Pies and Twilight Sparkles in exchange for spare Cheerilees I have.

Post by: terabithianprince on April 09, 2012, 07:18:58 AM: Oh okay. I wonder if it's because they release a different toy each week? I can't wait anyway. I'll be living off happy meals next month. :D
