Do you like collecting McDo toys?When we were kids, my mom loves collecting Mc DO toys for us. SOme of them have survived until now. The most memorable McDO toys that I can remember and still have were the Dalmatians toy. My kids now loves eating in McDO for the toy. I am into collecting them though but as we purchase toy after toy, my mind change. I think it is one of the most practical toy there is. Oh well it is cheap and the best part is it comes with food. McDo has done a good job with it. How about you guys? Do you like collecting McDo toys? What are your favorite toys?

When I was still in College, I did collect Happy Meal toys especially when they had the Snoopy ones in different costumes and the bigger ones with space suit. The McDo fast food was just outside our University and I remembered eating there everyday just to collect as many Snoopy toys as I could. After collecting about 50 plus Snoopy toys in different costumes, I didn't want to eat at McDo anymore.

No, I did not. But, my niece had 2 pairs. The Snoopy characters were mine and are still with me while the Hello Kitty ones were hers and I think she still keeps them until now as well.

It usually depends on the theme. I usually get one of a series that I like. I completed the TY Bears series and I have really gone to lengths to collect them. They were all sold out where I live, so I had my brother get them for me. It cost me more of course because I had to treat him LOL. I was kinda disappointed though because they were smaller than I expected, but still I was glad I collected them. The only other series I wanted to complete was the Beijing Olympics mascots, but I only got 2. My best friend completed it though. There was this one time when they had the Cinnamoroll toys out, but they featured only 4 of the 6 characters. I only got my favorite, which is Milk, and didn't bother getting any more. If they had all six I would have been crazy about collecting them. I have other McDo toys, though I don't remember all of them.

Back in college, I collected the Dalmatians and the Hello Kitty stuff. It was weird and because of that I now refused eating burgers from McDo. It traumatized me. Hey, my mother collected all the Hello Kitty toys and she was like so fond of bringing home toys. Infact she was the one who encouraged me to buy those stuff too.

Hi pehpot! I really enjoy answering your discussions. Since some of your discussion have crossed my mind already but too lazy or busy to post. haha anyway, i love collecting toys. the latest was Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar 2. we were able to collect all the toys. I also have dalmatian toys, but it's hard collecting all of them since it is 101 toys before you complete them i like mcdo's toys since it is more durable compared to competitor. take care

I collected McDo toys and my mom did, too! I especially loved collecting the Hello Kitty and Hello Danielle stuffed toys. They also had Snoopy. My mom, on the other hand, collected the dalmation toys. All these toys are still displayed at home. :)

I will have to say I never was big on the toys at McD's however I like the collectible glasses such as Disney and Shrek. I know my grandmother has the Peanuts glasses and Muppets from way back when.

I use to like to collect the toys. The only ones I would collect would be the ty beanies and Hello Kitty toys. We don't go to McDonald often. My daughter doesn't care too much about happy meals, she only like the fries.

Hello, pehpot! I do not like collecting toys from McDonalds because I do not go there so often. I wish I could, but it is not a habit in my family and I cannot make this become a habit yet. After I have my own family, who knows? But by now, I can't. I'm glad I don't go there too often, but I could go a bit more. I go there about five times a year, if we make it to the five times. No way I could collect any toy... Usually the collections have more than five toys, so, even if I went one day after the other for the five times, I wouldn't collect them all. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Honestly my mom never bought me any MdDonald's toys because we don't usually dine in mcdonald's when I was a kid. Just recently though I started buying McDo toys because of Madagascar. . I don't have a personal favorite yet it's the first time. But I liked the madagascar toys that I bought for my daughter so far. My daughter loved the talking animals she plays with it everyday. Too bad Alex the Lion got sold out already. I was able to buy only 3.

I wouldn't say that we collect them but we do have a lot of them around the house. My oldest daughter always gets the chicken nugget happy meals and loves getting the toys. She calls them chicken toys. I used to collect the character drinking glasses from mcdonalds when I was a kid. I think I may still have some. They were my favorite.

No but my son does. I think these thigns should be made illegal. I am not in favour of mc donalds and other fast food outlets. They are not healthy. But kids love to collect these toys. © ronaldinu 2008

it depends on what toys. i completed the shrek collectibles. my children are all teens now we only collect when they want it. if they are not interested we rather buy the money with more food than the toy. it is the same also when they were younger. we only collect toys if they like it. we rather share a lot of fries. lol

OH it's too expensive. Anyhow, they did have several toys that I thought was good enough. Do you remember the Hello Kitty's with Wedding garments? I loved those. Plus there was that Snoopy with different gears. We also collected those where they featured the Icons of the Beijing Summer Olympics. It's quite difficult to collect them though, because they seem can't have all the toys at once. You can't actually complete the set at once because they somehow would lack one type or two or perhaps they only got one design available. Anyhow, it's great. But I don't think it's practical. They're more of display toys rather than toys your kid could play with for a long time.

There was only once.. hehe ^_^ There was once whereby there's a Hello Kitty trend, and that mcdonalds is giving away different series everyday.. lol =D So i will queue up for it, overnight, just to collect the whole series.. lol =D Though the toy is not cheap, but still it's worth my effort as i'm giving it away.. lol =D As that happens when i was still in school, so i will queue at the mac that's nearest to my school, after buying the toy, i will go school straight away.. hehe
