    Bumblebee seems kind of small compaired to the humans.

    Definitely want to get Windblade and Grimlock.

    It's double marketing. Tie-in to bumblebee as promo but also highlighting cyberverse.
    So it's an "in honor of the upcoming movie, here's a happy meal line based on the new toon that features bumblebee too." It's cross marketing essentially. That and it's too early for a direct movie Bumblebee happy meal line since it's not near the movie release yet. That'd be more towards January if they do one. And that'd likely depend on how well these do too, and how much hype bumblebee picks up. Plus it'd take a few months to develop too and these were already in the works, and have proven well in other markets.

    Hasbro does have access to it. They're choosing to use the door wings style.

    I bought the entire set (along with the ponies for my daughter) from eBay. They're what you would expect, but there are some fun toys in there! Bumblebee and Optimus bots are the weakest in the group. My personal favorite is the Megatron walking toy. His arms move as he walks which was a fun surprise!

    In the UK nowadays happy meals come with things called ..... books .

    How will we ever educate our children about cybertron while they are eating ?

    Does anyone know if they are in CANADA too? I just know there has been a lot of McDonald toys that are only exclusive to the states and some that are exclusive here.

    Anyone know how the Happy Meal toys cycle works now? Is it still one toy a week? Or do they have all of them in stock at once?

    I bought a My Little Pony one for my daughter and when I asked if she had others, the employee had no idea.

    I think they still get 1 case at a time (with only 1 TF and 1 MLP character in it) until it runs out. Idk how frequently they get them though. Might be an auto shipment from the company.

    The McDonald's where I got mine had them all available on Day 1 - I was able to pick up the full set in one trip.

    There's also some kind of "insider code" thing you can ask for if you want a specific figure or full set if they claim to only have the current toy - and for the life of me, I can't recall what it is you ask for, but they'll give you a full set of the toys or find the one you want, if it's still available.

    Edit: Found it - "customer satisfaction box":

    I finally went to McDonalds today (there aren't too many around me), but they started the new rotation of Pokemon and Hello Kitty.

    BUT they still had the old display. I asked if I could buy a few MLP and TF for me kids, but the manager gave me the whole display for FREE!!!

    That's awesome! I got the whole set but not the entire display!
    HA, looks like Starlight Glimmer is attempting the magic of friendship with Megatron while Shockwave is trying to infiltrate the Cutie Mark Crew. "Really, I'm just a weird, one eyed bird. It's only logical!" XD

    If it makes you feel better, since it was a display Bumblebee's missile and Starscream were glued near the springs so that function is gone. And the Ponies that normally come with accessories like combs are missing them.

    The TFs I don't care about since my sons are 1.5yrs but my 4yr old who loves MLP actually asked me: "Daddy, where are the combs?". Spoiled brat. :lolol
