French versions were accidentally put in Vivid Voltage booster packs so unless The Ivory Coast and Madagascar is getting the promotion, there’s a good chance that the main Pokemon languages in Europe (French, Italian, German, Spanish and Portuguese) should be getting it also! 😊

I can only hope! But those General Mills cards though: that holo Pikachu is amazing!

But people are overselling early ones on eBay despite the fact they can be obtained from cereal boxes 😁

Isn’t January-Feb usually Pokemon Toy month for McDonalds for us in the UK? It’s Top Trumps at the moment… maybe just because it’s the 25th anniversary they might be released at the same time as the U.S this month. We can only hope 😊

Normally yes UK is around this time for McDonalds but in the past three years we never have had the McDonalds promos before the USA gets them so March/April seems a lot more likely IF it happens.

@mjisaacs - Unsure if you know, but will McDonalds outside of America be getting these as well? I checked with the Australian Head Office and I got the line “Unfortunately, we cannot disclose the new toys are as they are still under contract”. After checking their website, the next toy that the Aussie McDonald’s are getting are SpongeBob SquarePants 🙁.

Any chance I could buy a couple of anyone here haha? Inb4 I have to go to eBay and pay through the nose 🙁

On a semi related note, when does the cereal with the promos come out? I like the pikachu but I’m not paying eBay prices for it

Here is the full 50-card master set (courtesy of Erik Osachuk on Facebook).

Rumoured that the Pikachu is tougher to pull but likely just small sample sizes!

Rumor has it you can go to McDonald’s and buy a whole case, at which point they’ll ring you up for 150x $1.99 or $1.69 (not sure if the final price has been announced). How long until McDonald’s puts the kabosh on that due to flippers? Some flippers are already trying to unload them on FB and eBay for $1000+

Is the pull rates different depending on the toy you get?

Or is it random distribution for everything?

A moment of silence to reflect on how horrible our McDonald’s sets are compared to the unique art Japan has had in the past.

That Burning Shadows Charmander must have been reprinted 7000 times my goodness.

I like that that they came up with an original design for the 25th anniversary stamp.

That being said, I’d love it if, for once, they would stop just using old art for promos and actually made new stuff. Is there anything from this set that’s not a technical art reprint? At least the holo’s pretty.

Am I mistaken but isn’t the pikachu new art?
