Ok, so I went to McD's tonight just to see if they had the plushies yet. Yes, I'm just a big kid. Luckily, all I ever order anyway is a happy meal - it's just enough food for me and yes, I'm an adult.

Got a red bruce with a raindorf holder thingie. They don't seem very sturdy. The plushie itself, while cute, is of a lesser quality (IMHO) than last year's plushies.

The only thing I do hope is that they actually do the plushies in order the way most of the other happy meal promos are done. Like the Bruce is #1, so that's all you can get the first week, then second week #2, etc. Last year was just a mess trying to get the plushies. Nothing was in order and not all the Mcd's got the same plushies. I am NOT going to run around to 5 different ones to get the plushies this year, I'm just not. I would like a kougra and kacheek, since I have those as pets on the site.

I don't like the blue bag! I liked being able to finagle the tag around so I could see what color the plushies were. Can't see anything through this new bag

I have a box full of plushies from last year, I guess I should go take a pic and put them on ebay or something.

Plus, all the ones around here charge full happy meal price if you just want to buy the toy. And last year's promo drained my money really fast I can tell you.

I went to McDonalds today and got some Flotsams. I was really hoping for Bruces or Kacheeks. On the first rare item code, I got 1000 np and a Maps of Brightvale. On the other I got 400 NP and a cucumber and kiwi sandwich.

A place near where I live has a McDonalds booth where they sell the extra happy meal toys for the Ronald McDonald House charity and they had the display out last week, including numbers for each Neopet toy. It is not in the same order as on the webpage.

Their order was:

1. Bruce
2. Kiko
3. Flotsam
4. Kacheek
5. Poogle
6. Kougra
7. Gelert
8. Mynci
9. Kyrii
10. Meerca
11. Grarrl
12. Pteri

I don't know if they will actually be selling the Neopets though. They didn't for the beanie babies.

I think they're releasing 3 species at a time, just like last year.. So the Bruce, Kiko and Flotsam are the ones being sold right now.

Did anyone take note of the link to get a free virtual prize code. I noticed before this promotion started and around the time this thread was started, there was a poster on the McDonalds section that provided a link to get a virtual prize code. Most of that stuff is gone and the infomration regarding the older promotion is lingering around.

I remember the link being happymeal/vpc...someting something

Can't remember what came after the vpc thing.

neopets.com/happymealvpc

Was the link, but it just takes you to the daily prize so far as I can tell...

Hmm. I turned in 4 rare item codes and got:

Springy Mootix Toy
Clockwork Baby Buzz
Fyora Kite
Apple and Cheese Sandwich

each along with some Neopoints. Is there any limits for the rarity of items that you might get out of this?

Yaaay, I just came back from McD's and I am a happy camper. ^_^ Food sucked (next time I'm getting "apple dippers", I hate their fries...) but I got a blue Bruce with an Ona keychain which makes me feel all better inside.

I originally wanted speckled, but this is just as cute if not cuter :3 *hugs him* I was so excited I took a picture (yes I need help)
Oh yeah my prize code got me an Iced Chokato Cake (1800np, not bad) + 600np =o

Edit: Mom just called me to tell me she got one from work, green Bruce, Harris keychain, and got a Wind Up Kacheek Toy + 300np from the code ^_^
Edit2: Errr she went for lunch, I made that sound like she works at McD's lol.

If the order at the moment is Bruce, Kiko, Flotsam, when does this mean the Poogles will be sold? Next week?

(Mucho kudos to ladyredhat, who's helping me in my quest for a Pink Poogle)

Yes, assuming that the list posted it correct- the Kacheek, Poogle, and Kougra will be the pets on sale next week.

I saw an abandoned Red Kiko (with Snarhook) over at the library, but I didn't want to take it.

Woo, my dad went to McDonalds today for me. He bought three happy meals (because he was getting some McDonalds food for dinner so he figured he might as well

) and one extra toy.

They were only giving out two species here, just like the last time. Kikos and Bruces.

I got a Pink Kiko, Starry Kiko, Yellow Bruce, and a Green Bruce. I got a Symol clip, puppyblew clip, faellie clip, and a meepit clip.

I got a Soup Faerie book, kiwi something sandwich, a chokato cake, and a lollie pop thing, and total about 2k np from the prize codes.

Now if only that Pink Kiko was a Pink Poogle.

Tim brought home two McD's happy meals for dinner (my dad is watching the girls

) and we got a red kiko w/ raindorf and a speckled kiko w/ hasee. Our prizes were an Iced Chokato Cake 600 np and a Polarchuck and 300 np.

If we can get decent items like the Polarchuck, I think it might be a teeny bit less frustrating this time around.
