Worth Purchasing McDonald's Toys on Ebay

for about $250???? They are still in their bags.

I honestly do not think that that is too bad (that is about the cost of 100 Cheeseburger HM's). It is up to you though whether you want to put out the $$ for them, though.

Do you think it's a good idea for an investment?

If I wanted an investment, I would buy Krispie Kreme stock.

My secretary is about to have me committed because
A) I've developed a sudden desire for McD kids meals
B) I keep feeling the bags to try to figure out what is in them.

So how do you know what's in the bag?

I haven't been to McD's so much in my entire life time as I have this last week and a half.
DH and I are getting it down to a science.
We know which local McD's are working out of what box, what's in the box, how often they go through a box, what time is a good time to exchange duplicates, etc. All for some plastic toys
The base of course has the character's names. We press the white plastic tightly over the name and guess from there. (Without damaging the plastic rap.) Some are easy to read. Some are near impossible without good lighting and reading glasses. Depends on what color the print is on.
So far so good. Before we had it down tight, I had one dup. (Jafar) I hate to think how many Price Charmings I would have had by just buying these at random!
I have also found out that the McD's nearest where I work is the cheapest! I buy TWO toys. Usually I am charged $1.82. Yesterday it was $2.02. The other McD's want around $1.90 for ONE.
There was a web site thread, on Dizpins for a very brief time, that listed what boxes these toys are shipped in. That list has come in VERY HANDY.
We have only been keeping the ones we want and trading others in. We can't manage to get Buzz though. Although DH did manage to snag Maleficent last night! I got King Louie and Kuzco yesterday. Only the sorecerer MM out of all the Mickeys available too.
And there is one box/case no McD's here yet has tapped into at all, as of yesterday anyway.

Like Lov2Roam said, you just have to look through the plastic, at where they name is printed. I too got 1 double, before I decided, HEY why don't I try to figure out what it is first. The opened double I have is sabastien, if anyone is looking for him, let me know what you have to trade.
