McDonalds Changeables Return!
- Thread starter Donocropolis
- Start date
Over the weekend, we were out at my son's robot competition. It was the regional championship, so it was an all-day event. At around lunch time, the wife and I went over to the concession stand to grab some food. As we passed a trash can, my wife noticed that sitting right on top (and thankfully untouched by dirtier trash) was an unopened Boo Bot. She grabbed it out and rescued him. Who would buy a Happy Meal and then throw away a perfectly good Boo Bot?
A parent with too much clutter.
Boo Bot turns into the classic Halloween bucket.
And I now have an extra Boo Bot.
Just a few pictures of some of the 2026 Changeables I've gotten with their ancestors:
That just seems like a rotten thing to do.
I am amazed and delighted that I've only had two repeats with these guys. I just wish that I had an easier time getting the rest.
Of course it's only at this point that I remembered I know someone in the States who's supposed to be sending me some stuff anyway that could have maybe gotten me these.
FML.
FML.
Oh hey, turns out it probably wouldn't have worked, anyway.
Yaaaaaaay...?
Yaaaaaaay...?
Hit two McD's today. One refused to look through the bins for anything specific, the other did go grab the box in back to check, the only new ones they had were 13 and 14 (Ki0 the kiosk and Sizzlesaurus the deep fryer). Still, two more than I had yesterday.

The reluctance of McD's employees to show any interest in their products has long fascinated me. I don't expect them to memorize the new toys every month or anything, but IMO employees (especially public-facing ones) should have some basic level of costumer service awareness.
ANYWAY this thing still has two and a half-ish more weeks, so if you're still at 8/16 like I am, halfway done halfway through isn't bad.
In other news, Cap Cap aaaalmost fits over Trashmaster's head so I need to test some other Voyagers. (He fits over Deluxes, but iway too loosely and waaay too big.)

They don't pay them enough for that level of service.
