TF Prime Happy Meal Toys out in Feb here - viewable on Maccas website

[BigTransformerTrev]

Hi guys, I just double checked the Australian Maccas website and apparently it is still the Young Justice toys right now but in Feb it will be My Little Pony and Transformers Prime toys.

Interestingly, it seems we are only getting the 5 toys: Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream and Breakdown. In America they are also offering a Bulkhead toy - no idea why we don't get that. The toys are the complete opposite of last time - this time we get robots that don't turn into vehicles :rolleyes:


You can view what they are offering here:

I know which two I want. I just wish there was a way to buy them without having to buy the Happy Meal as well. :o

I guess it's off to eBay (again)! :p

5 TF's to go with 5 Littlest Pet Shop pets? It's a shame that they had to drop poor Bulkhead over Breakdown (usually marketing would tell you that good guys sell better, plus Breakdown died, twice), maybe the Happy Meal guys are staunch geewun purists :p

You usually can for $2 (unless this has changed recently :confused:). I can't stomach Maccas so that's how I bought them in the past.

Hmm. I have no idea as I haven't stepped inside a Maccas for... years. Might try it then, thanks. :p

Personally since it's harder to get your hands on a Breakdown in comparison to a Bulkhead, I'm happy to get our beefed up Stunticon :)

5FDP is correct - however I've always been too embarrassed to go into a Maccas simply for the toy, and since it saves me packing lunch that day I just stomach the bad food as best I can ;) :o

Scope out the Maccas when you first go in and see if there are any kids sitting inside the restaurant. If the person serving you gives you a funny look, just point at the nearest kid and say 'It's for him'. ;) :p

[griffin]

...only to find out that his mother is right behind you in the queue... :D :p

Oh c'mon... it'd be fun(ny). And I dare ya! :D Hey at least you're not asking for the Littlest Pet Shop toys... :p

(And don't forget to take a photo :D)

Heh - if it's any consolation I'm a teacher and 4 times last year embarrassed myself fully back at school when I turned up in the staffroom with my Happy Meal and refused to talk to anyone because I'm busy examining my new $2 toy ;)

I'm also the union rep and cancelled an important meeting last year. When asked why I answered "What? Are you insane? I just got a mint-in-box Generation 1 Scorponok in the mail and you think I am hanging round here!?!" :D

lol. Ok, now that would be embarrassing.. :D Still, if only I had teachers that were that cool! :cool::o

I am a little bit curous to know of we are skipping BULKhead because of, you know, fatties.... (>.>)

(<.<)


And marketting

[kaiden]

Actually the LPS toys are more appealing to me then those TFs...

[Megatron]

lol That's awesome, nothing wrong with that. :D (I'll admit I do have a small Care Bears collection... ;))

I have a student that works at Maccas, and I keep asking her to let me know when the TF Prime toys come in. Apparently employee's get them for free so I should get her to snag them for me. The only thing is I work at a Specialist School for kids with 'special needs' so she is just as likely to bring me a Little Pony toy :p

[KalEl]

To be perfectly honest i'm glad these look like rubbish as I do not need more excuses to eat McDonalds haha

[Bidoofdude]

I may get one, but I'm not too keen. I'm happy to eat maccas if it gives me an excuse though.:p;)

[BigTransformerTrev]

Was so busy today didn't have time to make lunch or anything. Went through town and stopped by the local Maccas. Asked the talking box 'What toys can you get with a happy meal?' 'A pet or a batman skateboard' the talking box replied. 'Na, don't worry about it then' I told the talking box, reversed out and went back to my little farm and made a sandwich :D

Hopefully someone will post here when they come out so none of us have to waste our time going to that unholy place before ;)

[lancalot]

Hey it out now ... My niece got a starscream this morning ! ! Macca for breakie , I know but it's a sat!! :D:

[BigTransformerTrev]

Gah! I sometimes HATE my country town - went through Maccas and they said did not have them! :( (pout) :mad:

[Megatron]

Oh man that sucks. :( I'm gonna try my local Maccas probably next week. Wish me luck! :D

[kaiden]

yeah i went on friday to get a LPS for my daughter, but they didn't have them yet.

[GoktimusPrime]

Just a reminder that you DON'T need to buy/eat Maccas' rubbish food to get their Happy Meal toys. They do sell them separately for $2 each. :)

[reillyd]

So has anyone sighted the, and in which states? None of mine know what I am talking about, or have any idea,

yeah i got it yesterday . a starscream ..at edensor park sydney :)

[GoktimusPrime]

got starscream yesterday from maccas parramatta (downstairs westfields food court)

[Megatron]

Ok, so... the bad news is that Maccas Traralgon don't have any yet. :(

The good news: "We'll probably get them in a couple weeks."

So if your Maccas doesn't have them yet, don't despair! They may get them in eventually, sometime near the end of February... :rolleyes:

We transfans are a dedicated bunch, that's for sure! :D

[BigTransformerTrev]

Finally showed up in Swan Hill - they are flogging Starscreams at the moment - except for a crappy head he's a lot more impressive than the vehicle happy meal toy that came out last year

[reillyd]

Meh. maybe

actually I prefer the jet. As lame as it was, it can still be played with as a jet. The robot looks awkward in that single fixed pose. *sigh* I miss the days when Happy Meal Transformers could actually transform (Armada's were the best)

If I were to subject myself to their menu I would expect more than a $2 happy meal toy ;)

[GoktimusPrime]

Breakdown's out now.

[Paulbot]

I saw a Starscream being given out at a food court Maccas today. They also had these A4 cardboard things from which you punch out parts of to make a Transformers Prime spinner .. thing.

[BigTransformerTrev]

A work friend of mine went to Echuca on the weekend and her kids had McDonalds and one got a Breakdown with their Happy Meal and the other got a Megatron, and then sent them into me! So obviously different towns must be releasing them at different times, and multiple bots at once, as a student here brought me a Starscream on Monday from the Swan Hill Maccas (I already had it but had lost the missile so was well chuffed!). Where is the consistency with these people! :eek: Do they not know the stress they are causing the Transformers community?!

[BigTransformerTrev]

Optimus is the current one being given out. Think there is only BBee to go who should be out next week (in the unlikely case there is a single person out there who does not already have enough BBee toys :rolleyes: )

[ILikeSoundwave]

Optimus and Bumblebee are out, got them yesterday and now I have a complete set.

How nice is it when students bring you a TF :)

I bought/subjected myself to the menu in order to get an Optimus toy. Optimus is now the mascot for my uni math class!

[Bidoofdude]

All my maccas has are Primes and Bees.
They're a lot bigger than I thought they would.
I was honestly considering swiping a Bee off the ground that someone left behind.:p:o

[reillyd]

Is megatron out yet, or have I missed him?

[Megatron]

I got him from the Maccas on Saturday 16th (on the Princes Highway from Fountain Gate Narre Warren, Vic). They only had him. I don't know if he's still available anymore. Then at Maccas in Moe, all they had were Bumblebees...

Now all I need to get is a Starscream.

[Wheelie]

Just picked up Breakdown at St Leonards Maccas, that's all they had
