These are the normal price at $2 or free with the Happy Meal but hear me out. From the last deal in the US unopened toy sets are worth for $10USD, Opened Foils for $4-50USD and Non Foils $1USD. I'm not advocating for people to scalp these, I'm using the resale value to demonstrate this is a bargain.

      Yep I didn't understand what HM toys meant, thought HM was Hidden Machine like in Pokemon

      • brandogs on 06/09/2021 - 23:29

        Also unlike the US, we aren't getting the yellow Pikachu Pokemon Happy Meal box in Australia. Going by that staff poster they are using the generic standard Happy Meal box.

            @[Deactivated]: No that's just a picture over the top of the McDonalds logo. It's also curved and has Pokemon coming out of the border.
            It says lower in the image that the "generic happy meal box" will be used.

          I think there is a group of users here buy things at a bargain and resell. The purpose of the website has changed overtime. It started as a communication tool for users to post bargain deal. It has grown significantly, not sure if this is the place that gave birth to cashback sites like cashrewards and shopback.

          • luckydan on 07/09/2021 - 12:06

            @htc: You are going to get all types of people but you should not worry about what other people are doing as that leads to insanity. Just take a note of it and move on.

            • htc on 07/09/2021 - 12:35

              @luckydan: That is exactly what I am trying to say, people spend extra time to complain on a popular post debating whether it is a deal or not, if it is useful, even an idea that make people life better, it is worth posting.

        • htc on 07/09/2021 - 08:56

          May be the posting rule of ozbargain should be changed soon, it has happened quite a few times recently, some very popular post does not fit the technical definition of a deal initially legislated on ozbargain, like this one, a small group of people complained.

        if everyone did that - not just ozbargainers - you definitely wouldn't be able to command $20 for it any more.

          Yes most kids will open it with grubby chicken nugget hands and sauce and crumple the cards straightway. Increasing the value of ones in circulation that are sleeved upon opening.

            @[Deactivated]: lol if you think this promotion will go to the majority of kids. There’s groups of people organised to nab these anyway they can already. Sure, they’ll sell for more than their $2 price tag but they won’t be anywhere near the $20 they commanded for a long, long time.

      • Tyrx on 07/09/2021 - 00:38

        The value will crash when entire boxes end up getting taken and sold on the internet by employees and franchise owners. It's always been that way with these type of promotions.

    Normal price and speculating on possible resale value is also not a deal.

    I dunno - looking at ebay (US) completed auctions there are way too many '0 bids' completed auctions < $1.

    Hard to imagine it's worth bothering. Feel like it should have been limited to those using the app to order or some sort of online redemption to control the stock, to at least try keep it a little fair, but here we are i guess. Already seen someone with a bag of 30/40 which just ruins it for others.

      If you have Uber Pass for free delivery, you could probably order an unlimited amount of these for a bit more Uber markup. I don't see them actively not selling you more than 2 though, maybe only if you went back 5 times.

    Planning on buying plenty of happy meals for these. If you get the cheeseburger happy meal with fries and a thickshake it's actually not bad value anyway for the meal itself ($4.95 for ~3400 kJ).

    • [Deactivated] on 06/09/2021 - 23:00
      +3

      2 of those is not a bad meal for most people. A small drink and chips is exactly half of a large.

    • AreYouAWiiizard on 06/09/2021 - 23:08

      How do you get them to keep the price at $4.95? Whenever I change the drink to a thickshake it adds like $2 or more…

        Whenever I change the drink to a thickshake it adds like $2 or more

        On the app? When I change it on the app it stays at $4.95.

          Might be a regional difference. In NSW where I tested with a small shake the price stays the same too.

          • Vinodra on 07/09/2021 - 03:02

            @[Deactivated]: Can confirm this works in QLD also, the free upgrade to a shake seems to only be for Happy Meals though.

        The only meal you can change to a thickshake without paying extra is the Happy Meal. At least in VIC this works.

      • sss333 on 07/09/2021 - 10:56

        Thickshake isn't even an option to change to for me on happy meals, it is there on other meals :/

    The prices are definitely speculatory. I will probably get a few myself, but I wouldn't purchase this for anything other than a personal collection. Even if it does turn out to have resell value greater than the cost of the pack/happy meal itself, the amount of packs necessary and effort to make anything substantial off these is negligible.

  • dimes on 06/09/2021 - 23:31

        @Levi we obviously don't have an unregulated market which is why the ACCC exists. If you're suggesting "the black hand of the market" economics, the laissez-faire approach is not suitable for a fair environment.

        Scalpers are exploitative. You'd probably line up to buy sneakers you never wear, or a PS5 you'll never use for the purposes of reselling (i.e. 'a quick buck').

      The OP actually says they don't support scalping. The Ebay price is just used as the measure of value. There's plenty of 'standard price' goods that then become a bargain when a good value bonus item is offered. Happens all the time.

    I think this might be a stupid question but do the packs come with random cards (I assume so)? Or could you just buy them one by one to form a full set?
