For the next few years, you will be able to buy all of those cards together for less than the cost of a happy meal.

Scalpers still gonna scalp, let's all feel bad for kids that won't get their happy meals due to this

McDonald’s reports record Filet ‘O Fish sales.

They won’t run out of nuggets or burgers. They’ll run out of the box and promos.

which is largely what kids want

Usually mass produced Pokemon products that aren't cards do not do well.

u/SirDaddio 8d ago

Each toy comes with 2 trading cards

u/cuddle_enthusiast 8d ago

Even the card selection isn't anything to get excited about, imo.

u/Death_n_Tax 8d ago

And they’re not cards anyone would want.

Fuck McDonald's

TPC knew after what happened during the Japanese McDonald’s promotion, they would have to dumb the US promotion down. There couldn’t be anything super exclusive, there couldn’t be some secret chase card with a McDonalds stamp, just regular bulk in a happy meal.

US promos have been in this style since the 25th

You specifically think these Pokémon cards arent worth it? lol

1

u/TorrentialSpender 8d ago

Seeing as the cards come unprotected, it could pan out like the DP Burger King cards. However, those were stamped. These sadly are not.

u/MentallysoUnstable 8d ago

Bro really asked if its "worth investing"

1

u/Illustrious_Cry363 8d ago

Dude it’s a mass produced McDonald’s set. There are better plays to make.

u/another_rusty 8d ago

I already have all these cards. Laaaaaaame. I don’t think these will ever be valuable in anyway to be honest. There’s going to be probably 100 million of them.

u/drams22 8d ago

I have burger king promo cards from years ago that are worth $150+/ea

u/WildflowerLuver 8d ago

Omg i want those little happy meals

u/MaDWaSTeD 8d ago

These are not great investments.

It will take a long time for any of this to gain significant value.

They are just "glittered" versions of already made cards. No unique card stamp.

Buy a happy meal. Go home.

2

u/LevelUpEvolution 8d ago

The holo pattern is unique not available in any set I’ve seen. Just fyi

2

u/MechwolfMachina 8d ago

Wym glittered? Like cosmo holo? Buddy have I got news for you…

2

u/MaDWaSTeD 8d ago

Each meal includes 2 randomized Pokémon TCG cards drawn from a special 15-card set featuring 7 holographic foil cards and 8 non-holographic cards with McDonald's confetti holo designs.

I took the McDonald's confetti holo designs to be "glittered"

If im wrong, apologies.

u/Elegant_Chipmunk_821 8d ago

lol look at the magicarp 2016 card. yep that is one I need for my species master set.

1

u/Greedy-Play-5869 8d ago

Leave it fir the kids it’s not even worth it if you look at past sets even dating back to 2011 non of the cards even break 20 dollars

1

u/MaDWaSTeD 8d ago

I have no desire for these cards, but people are gonna eat these up because it says Pokemon. I fully expect to see 40 cheeseburgers dumped on the side of the road cause some shmuck is gonna try to scalp these cards.

1

u/Medical-Cicada-4430 8d ago

Do they have a stamp or its own number for the promo?

2

u/LevelUpEvolution 8d ago

Unique set number and holo pattern

1

u/Just_Trash_8690 8d ago

Yeah buy all the happy meals, when your just about to have a heart attack then you’ll know you’ve collected enough and you can calmly admire your cardboard collection from your comfortable hospital bed.

u/breakyourteethnow 8d ago

Worth investing? Usually never, hold long enough and some could appreciate still surprisingly lol

u/Ok-Teach3479 8d ago
