When I left work on Tuesday, I immediately rushed to my nearest McDonald’s to secure myself Pokemon Cards from his latest Happy Meal promotion. I bought two kids meals (I don’t have kids) and was a bit disappointed when the clerk handed me two plain Happy Meal boxes. I was hoping to receive the Pikachu printed boxes shown in the ad. But I got off happily as each box still came with a pack Pokemon trading cards. Other customers who ordered the Happy Meals have reported receipt Space Jam 2 toys.
McDonald’s latest promotion is target come with a Pokemon Spinner toy, a cardboard Pikachu coin and a pack of four trading cards (one of which is holographic). These toys are intended to be used in a party game where one person spins the wheel to decide a statistic and then each player (up to four) compares their cards to see who has the highest score. Obviously, most adults who choose to buy the Happy Meals for themselves are primarily interested in receiving them Pokemon Cards. For many customers who bought the Happy Meal, they got a completely different toy.
As you can imagine, many was deep unhappy about it This errors. A Twitter user bought it seven happy meals, and all seven were toys from the LeBron James cartoon. A customer who received a basketball toy pointed out that the McDonald’s app had asked the customer what kind of toy they wanted.
The worst part is that the Space Jam 2 Toys were distributed last summer as part of a promotion for the 2021 film. This means that these toys are extremely old leftovers and not a mix-up from the last action. Before the Pokemon Collaboration came Happy Meals with toys from the Marvel movie Thor: Love and Thunder. A person reported receive a love and thunder box that came with a Scooby Doo Toy. But the vast majority of mix-ups concern those of the last year space jam toys.
Some Reddit user to have explained that many shops easy had not the Pokemon Shipping when the collaboration was announced. So it might be worth waiting a few more days or calling ahead to make sure your store has the packs. Happy hunting. Oh, and go some for the kids.
During the last year Pokemon Cooperation, Collectors and scalpers bought dozens of Happy Meals for the card packs. Many of these cards were eventually resold on eBay. Which might not have been a big deal if it weren’t for the fact that these cards and collectibles were primarily intended for children. So before you buy up the entire restaurant, please think about how sad a young man is Pokemon Fan would be if they found Bugs Bunny in their Happy Meal.
