McDonalds Runaway Railway

[HadesFan]

Some of them are very uncooperative. I was at one drive through window, asked about the toys, which ones they had. The girl looked at me and said "we have all different ones". I told her I already had 1-4, and needed the rest. She just gave me a blank look. Wouldn't go look, just stood there looking at me. I asked again. Said she didn't know. Totally worthless.

I went by this afternoon and the Mc Donald's that I went to still does not have the toys back yet.

they must be low on the priority list.

I went to one today and the girl was so incredibly rude. I also went to another one that the woman was so nice. She told me to come back on Friday because she said she should being getting more. It’s really not hard to be nice and she really was.

It's such a relief when there's a good employee there. I remember ordering once and the cashier was too confused about buttons so he looks to another employee "Hey whatever your name is, can you take this order?" and walks away. (That's a direct quote, he actually just called the guy "Whatever your name is").

Half the time they don't even listen either, so I anticipated there would be obstacles in asking about the toys in this line. You almost don't want to ask.

So now I'm just so surprised and pleased, I called a location today, and got the most helpful woman on the phone. She pulled the toys for me, and they were waiting for me when I went through the drive through. I'm only missing two of them now, so hopefully I'll be able to find them.

I agree with this, it is really nice when you get a good one. There is this mcdonalds inside one of our walmarts and they always get all the toys in at once and dump them all in a big box so whenever I need a certain one or just want the buy the whole set I go there since its so easy and they usually are pleasant about it. And also super easy to trade duplicates there.

I just assumed they wouldn't trade right now because of the pandemic. At least I'd like to hope they wouldn't.

I have traded a few times during this with no issue. They are in a plastic bag that can be wiped down if anyone is concerned.

I will only go to one McDonald's in my area because all of the employees are so kind and the food is always fresh. I don't want the toys bad enough to deal with rudeness and horrible food. Sad that out of 5 in my area only one is worth going to!

I stopped there Monday for a biscuit and I noticed that all signage had been removed. Hoping they have them back this weekend.

 

[emmabelle]

I’ve seen half the McDonalds still have the display up. Lol

Ordered McDonald's delivered for lunch today and both HMs had the toys to my surprise.

For those who were able to get the toys since the recall, are they with or without the entry ticket? If the toy comes with the entry ticket, I assume there's no way to tell if it's a pre-recall or post-recall toy.

Of the 8 locations near me, only 1 just started giving out the toys again, and it's one I already have. With a little more than a week left in the promotion, I'm starting to worry I may not get the chance to collect them all.

 

[mom2rtk]

Just got the last of the toys to complete our train. I ended up with a few extras and am now making 2 trains.

Does anyone have a spare number 1 (Goofy in the locomotive) they would be interested in trading for something else? PM me if you do!

Just went to the McDonald’s at WDW. They had the Daisy/Soarin toy in a partially clear bag, character and ride name on the outside of the bag, no entry ticket in the bag. Different packaging than pre-recall or possibly unique to area?

Toys are in the same packaging but without the ticket inside. I'm guessing they cut the ends off, removed the tickets and resealed them. Ours were gone for only a day or two before the ones without tickets showed up.

I've only been to one location since the recall, but both times the toys had tickets in the bags. This was at the beginning of this week, so it does make me wonder if they just kept their original stock and that's what they're giving out now.

Today I got #2, Starship Mickey. Either they ran out of boxes or the contest has changed: the box was an Avengers/Marvel box (meaning no contest disclaimer), and while there was still a ticket in the bag, the phone app says "no content found" when you try to access the contest.

That's interesting. I got the last two toys in the set today and both had tickets. The tickets scanned fine in the app and it gave me two more entries in the sweepstakes.

Oh good, there's hope. I'll keep trying!

No tickets in ours.
