QUOTE Someone named EVN tipped me off in email about some upcoming McDonalds, so I called the them up to confirm it. Apparently another wave of ponies is planned for March 9th (though she told me not to quote her on that exact date), along with Transformers on the boys side. They don't know specifically what characters/designs will be available, but she did say they usually try to release new sets, so hopefully something awesome pops up. I was also told that this is going to be a huge promotion, and they expect to sell out of them pretty quickly. I guess our rabid collecting last time around tipped them off? We didn't have much access to blind bags back then, so these and the five piece molded set were the only show accurate stuff we could get our hands on (Even if McDonalds toys aren't really known for their quality). It sure was funny trying to sneak into McDonalds incognito style only to be called out as the third guy to come looking for ponies for his "Niece" or "Sister". I'm sure it will be twice as funny this time around. Wow, perfect McDs promotion for our site (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) -------------------- |

Ack double the Happy meal buying (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif) Lots of mcnuggets and cheeseburgers for me. And yes I know it's possible to buy them seperate. I'd rather get the meal anyways (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif)
I did end up grabbing the whole round of ponies last year. But I want to see if these are similar to the last set or if it's random gimmick toys. Same for the Transformers. I like ones like they did for Animated but the stuff BK did for the movies tended to be nothing of interest. This post has been edited by Daith: Jan 25 2012, 10:01 PM -------------------- |

This should be interesting. Wasn't there supposed to be a Happy Meal My Little Pony/Pokémon promo in Europe soonish? I assume whatever toys they end up using will be the same in both regions.
Ugh, I wish they'd scheduled these for the summer promos rather than the winter ones. We always go get Happy Meals with the free coupons our library's summer reading program gives out and donate the toys as prizes in our annual family get-together's Bingo game. We pretty much have no reason to go near McDonald'ses any other time of year. On the lighter side, this gives me an opportunity to crank out a certain comic I'd been wanting to do. -------------------- "Pinkie's brain is kind of like a supersonic missile without a targeting system." - Creature SH

I'd like to replace Pinkie Pie with a better one at least--totally the weakest of the last bunch. And maybe they'll give us the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

I didn't get any of the MLP's last time, much to my chagrin. Once I finally got to a McDonald's, they were over... finished.
Just hope these are good ones. And hoping that Cliffjumper will be part of the Transformers side, if they do Prime. --LBD "Nytetrayn" -------------------- |

 These Ponies are holding on my heart like a handgrenade. Group: Citizen Posts: 1,901 Joined: 7-February 06 From: Clarksville TN Member No.: 7,856 Faction: Free Agent |
I just hope the Bronies won't throw a hissy if Cheerilee included instead of Trixie/Luna/Derpy/Heartstrings/DJ Pon3/etc.
Also hope Cheerilee is included again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) -------------------- "Some people collect other characters like Jazz or Hot Shot and its encouraged, but I stockpile Cybertron Crosswises and that makes ME the strange one."

It would be ironic if these were reissues but Cheerilee was excluded, and ended up commanding serious money on ebay.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) I think when the first Pony campaign happened, Cheerilee hadn't been in an episode yet, so Bronies were more like "who da flank iz dat?" Now that she's been in a number of episodes, I don't think anybrony will have a problem with it. -------------------- Hey, check out one of my sites!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) I personally hope Cheerilee is NOT in the next line up of toys. Why you may ask? Because we already GOT Cheerilee. Give the spot to some other Background pony. I don't care who, just so there is somepony new. I mean we can already guess the mane six will be there again. I'd like to see some variety in the toys. -------------------- Pinkie's Tail is twitching! RUN!

QUOTE(TM2 Dinobot @ Jan 30 2012, 03:50 AM) It would be ironic if these were reissues but Cheerilee was excluded, and ended up commanding serious money on ebay. In Hungary, the MLP-FiM Happy Meal toys have been out for a month now. Only the main six have been found so far, and totally randomly. Christopher... erm, Cheeri Lee and Celestia are not on the promo materials even, so they are most likely excluded. And yeah, they are the same toys as the ones sold in the USA, but they are lacking the cutie mark brooms, erm, combs.
