Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 So in Canada they have the despicable me minion toys now free with any happy meal purchase (or 2 bucks which is half the price of the meal lol) Anybody else collecting these? I think they're 8-10 altogether or something. I've never seen so many adults ordering happy meals in my life.. lol. Quote
willy431 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 They are great! I love the whistle guy! And yes...we all had happy meals for dinner----3 cool minions. Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Haha, I got him first, then just got banana dude yesterday. It's been a while since McDonald's happy meal toys actually caught my attention. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I used to collect the Happy Meal toys when I was a kid but not anymore. Although I may just have to swing by my McDonalds for these guys!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC0LU-ZZIzY Quote
TheDarkness Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 *Groan* my kids want McDonalds all the time now thanks to these guys. Tempted to just buy them the large interactive ones instead as we all know what happens to Maccas toys eventually. Quote

boomzoom Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 My boys love the minions. We have 1 - 4 so far. But we did not order any happy meals or any other food. You can buy the toys alone for 99 cents each in the US. But we did buy boxes of Cheerios in order to get the minion in it. Quote
seapotato Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I want the one with the banana! I've only got one so far, but the few mcd's i've been to have been sold out! Quote
seapotato Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 $3.99 for any. Used to be more for the chicken mcnugget ones. Quote
Scissorino Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 We have them too in the UK. My sister says she has got me one Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 $3.99 for any. Used to be more for the chicken mcnugget ones. Man, used to be 1.99. Freakin inflation. Quote
Guest idunno101 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 LOL the things that people go to just to get a minion from a movie. It's like their the next superhero or something. Still AWESOME though I love the little guys. Quote
BuckeyeFanDan Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Now if we could just get LEGO minifigure minions! If LEGO got that license they could sell a ton of these!! Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I bought about 100 minions of different varieties since there seems to be north american exclusives. Going to wait for this to eol before selling. Quote

Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Lol only this one. Small inveatment but gauging how many of my friends are missing minions coupled with the fact that a minion movie spinoff is coming out means this has the potential to double in value. Average cost of each was only around 1.5 anyways... lol Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Friends missing minions as in gauging facebook..lol Quote
weakside Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Hey ph4tb0i, are some more limited than others? I haven't bought any or plan too but my sister inlaw is having a hard time finding the one holding that green thingy/object to complete her set. checked a few McD's and sold out...just curious. With your inventory I'm sure there will be buyers and you'll turn a decent profit. Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Oooh yeah. McDonald's has 20 different variations or something produced worldwide. Hoarders (like me) are scooping them up en masse so it's creating this massive shortage everywhere. http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/SoShiok/Story/A1Story20130711-436479.html --> lineups in Asia http://www.mcdhappymealtoys.com/2013/05/despicable-me-2.html --> Minion List. Prices varies from mcdonald's from $1 - $2 depending on what the manager wants. At those prices it's a no-brainer to buy at least a couple dozen. All I've seen on my facebook wall are people taking pictures of their minions.. Quote
weakside Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 haha, didn't know different countries have different versions. Always something new for collectors every week it seems. Quote
seapotato Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 So...the minions are EOL now. #1 and #3 in my city have been very rare (those are the two North American exclusives) because some guy bought the entire box at the Mcd's, and he posted a pic of it all to sell on Craigslist. From what my sis tells me in a forum she has been reading, a lot of people are angry at him. Best time to flip right now, I think, while everyone is still desperately hoping they will find that one minion they are missing. Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Already sold 11 jelly shooters at 50 percent profit. If you are in the USA or can go to the USA pick up the collectors edition dave from toys r us. It's their exclusive and you can bet the value of it will definitely go up. Kept one for myself though hahaha Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Also don't forget that there is a minion movie coming out, so lots of opportunity in the future for these things to appreciate once people want to fill in their collection. Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 And yeah I have 23 of the one with dave holding the banana (number 3). Muahahahahahahaha Quote
