    I have never, ever heard of this. What an odd little collectible. It would be awesome if some of you guys could share some more pics!

    thing is, they're some of the rarest pieces from US g1, they were only released in st louis as a "test market" and never anywhere else. so there isn't a lot of people with them for pics, much less many people with the full set

    Not to be a wet blanket AT ALL - and please note that, as a fellow collector of these St. Louis toys, what I'm about to say annoys me as much as it may annoy you... but...

    I don't think that this is a complete set.

    If you take a look at the photo posted here and look at the Cliffjumpers, you'll see what I mean. I also have what I thought to be "all six" CJs, and they're the same assortment you have posted in your pictures...

    But the photo listed above also shows 6 CJs. With a difference - missing is the yellow/black one, and instead there's the teal/black one. I've heard about these teal ones before, and haven't seen many.

    I've also read that there is one of these each other mold (I think) which brings the known total to 28.

    I am only missing one Gears and one Brawn to get to the same 24 you have. I was double checking the set when I realized this.

    ARGH!

    I sold a set of these on EBAY about 8 years ago. I got them all for about 25 cents each, and did very well when I had to sell them. I don't write this to gloat or anything, I just think they are neat little toys, and I kind of regret having to sell them.

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was at a toy show this morning (in St. Louis), and found someone selling several of these guys. Gears was the only one I was missing so I grabbed one. They wanted $25 each, but I got it for $20. The seller told me he was the "STL president of McDonalds toy collectors". (I didn't know there was such a thing) The coolest part about the whole thing was, he said he had the display screen and several boxes from this promotion, but they were in storage. I took down his email address to contact him about prices, and to maybe buy a few more of these guys in different color combinations. If I buy that stuff, I'll post pics.

    And not to once again resurrect a really old thread....but.....

    I just had to share this, I live in Central Illinois and a woman about a hour away was selling a bunch of bagged happy meal toys on Facebook. When I saw this one I about crapped my pants. She was kind enough to mail it to me! I have never seen one sealed before!!

    Nice!! I had a sealed Brawn for several years, but I finally sold it off. These are fun little novelty items and pretty rare by a global standard. I’ve always wanted to figure out a way to create the Missing Windcharger and Huffer figures, but I’m afraid my sculpting skills are not up to par. I’d love to learn some 3D modeling to help that along. Haha
