McDonald's 2021 Set, 50 Cards

Policy at my store just came in. 2 per customer per visit with ones not included in happy meals. That doesn’t include getting 30 happy meals though if you wanted

This is encouraging that at least some places are limiting the people just walking and and buying them all.

Unfortunately, most McDonald’s are allowing people to buy entire cases for around $300. Current resell on ebay is around $1000-$1200. I’m seeing multiple people posting online about getting dozens of cases.

this is just completely ruining it for a generation of kids right now…

not my photo, but seen from a group called GFNF (https://twitter.com/gfnf__?lang=en ) who specializes in reselling. They had multiple members of their group buying multiple cases

Team Rocket Returns :sob:

The closest McDonald’s to me makes me buy a happy meal unfortunately

I went to my local one tonight in FL and they said no Pokèmon yet and didn’t know when they would be in…

Lucky I’m a truck driver and have unlimited access to mcdonald’s all day muahahahahah

Should be interesting to see if they’d shift all of that - especially given that there’s over 13k McDonalds in the US ~

But why invest in all of that when you could have bought several Evolutions boxes or invested in WOTC? :grin:

Also I’ve noticed some boxes going down to $800, so clearly they’re decreasing :open_mouth:

Can only imagine these scrappers buying a bunch of happy meals or stocking up on boxes of General Mills, what a time to be alive.

Hopefully it’ll be alright eventually. I don’t know how past promotions have gone, but they’ve planned to run it for a month.

This, my FB feed has been flooded with cases for sale by folks who are in my Baseball / Basketball groups.

It . is . insane . . .

Just hold off. Like every Happy Meal Toy, it is the most produced toy in the world. Hence, this offering of 25th anniversary cards will be the most available Pokemon cards ever as McDonald’s markets the hell out of it. These cards don’t even look that great. Nice little novelty item but as a collector you would be crazy to pay any of these ridiculous after market prices at the moment.
These will never be rare and will therefore be nearly worthless in the months to come.

who’s ready for some market manipulation?

@serpintaxt, they’ve dropped down to $50ish, I guess it’s time to go to McDonald’s

14 unique cards and the complete non-holo set in 20 packs for $1.70 each. I could have been a dick and bought the whole case but 20 was sufficient. FYI they seed these packs based on outer carton variant (1-4) so if you are getting a few to open find a block of 25.

Jealous of your Holo Piplup… Even working there I can only open 2 a day ;(

Also for those who have grabbed Holos, are any of them without Holo bleed? Every single card pulled so far from me or other employees have Holo bleed…

hmm so what you’re saying is that i need to order about 25 happy meals since my McDonalds doesn’t sell toys separately kek

My local McDonalds charged $2.99/pack, limit of 10 packs can be purchased outside of happy meals. The McDonalds in my neighboring city isn’t selling them outside of happy meals at all.

I was wondering if they’d start limiting sales. We’re starting to see some cases where people are following the Japanese mindset when it comes to limiting sales. Target started implementing limits on certain Pokemon items as well in some areas.

A lot more if they are grabbing packs at random.
