    Since these are going for only a week I wonder what order they are using for distributing them or if all 17 are available and they just grab them randomly.
    My daughters did both get Dumb Dog Car at the same time but that could have been a coincidence.

    I really only want the burgerbot and happy meal dino for myself. I showed the list to my girls and they aren't especially interested in any of them. :/

    I sent my wife to go get them, and they told her they were blind bagged. He tried to feel them to make sure he got each on different. We still managed to get 2 bugs bunny and 2 mickeys on that order. I am going back myself today to get my son the transformables. I still have the OG ones for myself.

    They aren't really all that "blind". There's a number on every bag; just check the last page in this very thread for a key to tell you what's what. The transforming burger is #1 for example.

    My wife and I went last night, excited to get something. We thought about asking for specific ones but then didn't want to bother the employee during dinner time (even though I've been on that other side and was happy to, I've also known plenty who find it annoying). Yet somehow we got the exact two we wanted by random anyway! :D  I got the Changeable Burger and she got Hello Kitty. This campaign definitely worked for getting us to go to the store lol. If they were to do a second assortment I'd happily do it again heh.

    Got my Red Ranger. Had to go to 4 McDonalds to get it. 1st one said the manger told them to not pick specific ones. 2nd and 3rd only had 3 different ones. 4th one had at least 5 of them (there was a family there and I could see the ones they had out). They looked in the box and it was the one on top! They let me buy it without having to buy the meal.

    Each one of them I had to tell them there was a number on the bag.

    I almost wonder if it was one of the Beast Wars toys from 1996, but Hasbro said no.

    Almost all Mcdonalds I went to are sold out of those toys. Not sure if I should still be hunting, but I got 1, 5, 8, 10, 14, and 16.

    Initially I called him H2, in line with C2, the Cheeseburger from Series 2, but after consulting with a friend, I chose to instead call him Bob. Bob the Berder. (Short for "hamberder".) He moves around the floor like a Roomba and often confers with Lil' Red, the Happy Meal-o-Don. (Gotta love those names.)

    I'm surprised Barbie wasn't one of the toys. Seems every year there is a Barbie wave.

    Picked up #1 & #5 today at local McD's. Seemed to have plenty of them. I just had to show them the numbers so they knew there were differences in the packaging...Fit right in with the vintage ones. If I am correct, this would be considered Wave/Series 4 of them? 24 originals plus 2 for a total of 26?

    Got a few that I wanted today. I should have known better but I really wanted the Tamagotchi and got it but yeah, it’s just a light up pos that does nothing else. Why I thought it might be a real working version was my own idiocy.

    My local McD was already sold out yesterday. I got my girls each a happy meal and one had an Olaf toy, the other a Hello Kitty teacup.

    I was told one of mine had sold out yesterday too. I never found #1. Seems it was pretty popular. I tried to find #16 for my daughter and no luck on that one as well. Those went faster than I expected.

    Seriously, why is this NOT frontpaged? Umm, mods? If you frontpage third party stuff then I would say this clarifies too. I only learned about this from a friend. I dunno about you, but I ALWAYS considered these things Transformers even if Hasbro had nothing to do with them.
    They are out in Hungary, too, btw.

    It seems there is no sesame seeds on it anymore, and has lettuce instead of cheese. :)
