Neopets at McDonalds commentary thread -learn something new!

[The Wonder Weezel]

I know unfortunatley many people wont even get to have a FIRST neopets promotion... so i thought if anybody would like to talk about the promotion here, it would be more than convienient..... especially if people want to show some pictures or something!


Anyway, to start the chatter:

Neopest have obviously stared putting up their McDonalds pages all over the site, and by following them I found the checklist:
http://www.neopets.com/mcd/checklist.phtml?promo=4
where you can see ALL the plushies, and also, their "petpet clips".

Aparently, in each happy meal, you get a plushie, as well as a random petpet clip to attatch your plushie to a backpack or keychain or forehead or whatever.

While there are lots of boring ones like this:


There are also very many cute redrawn ones like these:

*i love that last snarhook one*

and each neopet comes in the basic 4 colors, blue, yellow, green, and red, as well as 3 out of 5 other colors, shadow, speckled, starry, cloud, pink, or checkered.





*and if you didnt notice... the choices are bruce, grarrl, gelert, mynci, kacheek, meerca, poogle, pteri, kougra, kyri, kiko, and flotsam.

Here are some options of the ones i didnt show:

is that all of them? i think so.

and they each come with a prize code too! I dont think they did that last promotion, did they?



And also....

everybody...


guess what?

poogles....

poogles come in pink....

there are poogle toys on neopets and the promotion....

there are pink toys on neopets and in the promotion....

THERE ARE PINK POOGLE TOYS!!!

[ArwenEarendil]

I. want. those. pink. poogle. toys.

=D~~~~~

I want LOTS OF THEM!!!! *drool*

Those keychains look neat (although they look like they can break at any given moment...). Though the prospect of one clipped to me forehead seems... painful.

Will this be on in Canada at the same time as the US, or a bit later? I'd like to know when it's in Canada, because then I might be able to coax my parents into going to Yorkton for my birthday.

[Shifty]

I saw that yesterday... Kind of makes me sad though, knowning I can't get any of them. I'll probably be visiting the US too late for it.

As for the Virtual Codes... If theres an avatar, i'm punching someone.

How often do they put new toys in? I never go to McDonald's, I rather despise their food. But. These are cute. Is it random what you get, or a new toy every week, or...? /clueless

Going by the last promotion, every week around 2-3 different species were available (say week 1 was Ixi, Grundo and Aisha; next week would be Yurble, Lupe and Jubjub.) All of the plushies were bagged in opaque bags (so you don't see what color you get, but you do get the same species on the bag)

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but....

If you look at the picture on this page, http://www.neopets.com/happymeal/ you will see a web addy to the "free prize code a once a day page", which is...

It hasn't started yet, but keep the link in your daily favorites!

My hubby laughs at me for getting a big kids happy meal, but hey, it's worth it... as long as we're going through the drive through!

[GadoTheLion999]

I go to Mcdonalds every so often. I gonna put the plushies I like on my shelf, but the ones I don't like go the shredder I call my dog.

[Cranberry]

Ooh, I want a pink poogle and a shadow pteri... but I never eat McDonalds food. Too unhealthy. I'd probably get stuck with a mynci or kiko, anyway. I guess there's always eBay...

Those plushie clips are neat. The meepit one is adorable (in a creepy way, as befits a meepit), and I like the faellie and kadoatie, too.

[Marinnai Kasaraki]

*squeals* GONZOOOOOO!!!!

*people stare at her* Heh heh, I Snarhooks, go figure ^^;

[digitel_anime_fan_20]

Oi, the only pet I'm finding myself wanting is that pink poogle and a few of the shadow pets. OH WELL!

I like collecting them, I have at least one of most of the species from the last promotion. :3

I hope they use the same type of packeging. You could press the tag to the package, and see waht the species and color was.

After a while, I stoped buying the meals-guys, you do know you can just buy the plushies for a buck if you don't eat the food, right? XD

[Trick]

*is in the huff* Stupid neopets never bring merchandise to the UK their home land!!! Argh :| Ah well at least they don't have wockies that look nice, then I would have been really ticked off

[ladyredhat]

were the paintbrush colors more rare, last promotion?

I need a shadow kyrii! preferably 2 so I can try to dye the mane on one to look darker like its supposed to.

please people, consider selling on ebay for the ones you dont want...you never know a PPTer may want to collect it

[sparkygoesforth]

Those Pink Poogle Toys look pretty nifty - I can imagine they'll be pretty rare when released... PPT members often have a Pink Poogle Toy in their shops - now we can have one in real life!

I agree with Trick - it's a shame that Neo don't push their products more in the UK. I guess they haven't been able to convince McDonalds Restaurants UK that Neopets is well-enough known in the country yet. But they aren't going out of their way to publicise it. The only thing I've ever seen was a sponsorship deal with ITV's early-Sunday-morning kids programme, the advert segments were dire. I know you used to be able to buy the talking Neopets in Argos a couple of years back, and that allegedly you can get merchandise from Claire's stores. But the site never gets a mention in the media over here in the UK and I think they're missing out on a potentially huge market. But eh, what can we do?

[bgryph]

I'm really disappointed with the choices of pets, personally... really nothing I want except a pink Poogle. Dunno, maybe a starry Kougra. I was hoping for an Eyrie, dang it... why does TNT hate Eyries so much?
