They usually charge $2 for a toy without a happy meal :) at least they used to a couple of years ago...might have gone up by now.


bajachris88 - June 3rd, 2006 at 11:36 PM

hmmm.

Sounds inviting, but still a little turned off from maccas when an asian lady behind the counter got up me for asking if she would beat Hungry Jack's price on a 30c Soft Serve. :fakesniff:


hipichic - June 3rd, 2006 at 11:37 PM

We still ask for a 30c cone at maccas...lOL!


baybuscamperkid - June 4th, 2006 at 09:39 AM

tehe, had a feeling this would be popular when it came out, cudos for finding out which week :D


rose - June 4th, 2006 at 03:03 PM

Yes they still only charge $2 just for toy as I did this the other month. This is good as I have a macas where I work yipee.

I have nothing to do with McDonalds, but they never ask to Size Up... Its not their policy..
but KFC Always do.... and Burger King always did

plus Maccas have many low fat/sugar etc meals these days...

they now sell a lot more than just Hamburgers...:thumb

[but I'd eat a happy meal just to get a Kombi] lol:P:P

I liked Hungry Jacks burgers until I saw a magazine article with the fat content... more than double Maccas....:o
Yikes:P

I'm soooo there! :bounce


h - June 4th, 2006 at 08:22 PM

looks like the evil arch empire will be gettin $2 from yours truely tomorrow.. :smilegrin:


bugeyedbabe - June 4th, 2006 at 08:49 PM

lee ur right...hungry jacks has more fat etc because of their sauces in the burgers...

I never thought it true...until i read some of the phamlets they put out...(I always knew reading was bad for me...now i dont eat hungrys)

And yes, after being sued left right and center, maccas decided to put fresh food out so they can no longer be blamed for a persons poor choice.....so now u can buy nice tastier food, and purchase the toy as well...

I now just have to hide them from my son aj...:P


amazeer - June 5th, 2006 at 11:41 AM

Its not just any kombi, its Filmore!

Anyone want to rent my daughter?


bajachris88 - June 5th, 2006 at 12:18 PM

lol, that sounds a bit sus


penguin - June 5th, 2006 at 01:33 PM

Cool,
looks like its a macca Happy meal for dinner then :)


amazeer - June 5th, 2006 at 01:37 PM

chris, I would loan her to you as I know she is safe, you dont even go for hot chicks with a pair of hot brattwurst croissants in foreign accents!

I just went to my local McD's, not on sale yet. 'Later' this week. Looks like we might be doing the mcdonalds dinner every night this week. Wonder if US mcdonalds has them. Maybe we could make a fortune and assist the balance of trade figures as well.


h - June 5th, 2006 at 02:12 PM

hey went down to the evil arch empire and no kombi at that store.. :o whats the deal..?
so is it later this week then.. a day anyone..?


bajachris88 - June 5th, 2006 at 02:16 PM

anyone know how big these 'to be' kombi toys are?


ren - June 5th, 2006 at 02:58 PM

I'm sure the marketing dept at McDonalds have been trying to crack the dub market for years :) he he


hipichic - June 5th, 2006 at 06:46 PM

The other cars that came out last friday are almost twice the size of a matchbox car. So I'm guessing Filmore will be around the same. Usually the maccas near us put out their new toys on a thursday or friday.
Sometimes, it pays to go to one that is not in a busy spot too, as they don't run out as soon as others.


lohoon - June 5th, 2006 at 06:55 PM

Just on the "goodness" of the McDonalds food, I have been told buy a health inspector that in a survey 98% said they would prefer no Gerkin on their burger.BUT if said greenery is removed the burger would then have so much total sugar content that they would be deemed CONFECTIONARY!


amazeer - June 5th, 2006 at 07:42 PM

A friend of a friend who works for a major bread maker said they class the buns as confectionary because there is so much sugar in them. But I cant see how it could be true, why would you worry about putting sugar in a bun? Not like bread is sour.

I'm pretty sure thats an urban myth. I've heard it so many times it just has to be.


amazeer - June 5th, 2006 at 07:45 PM

I love mcdonalds, not for its nutritional qualities, but for the service and cleanliness. Comparing the average McD's to any KFC, Burger King, Hungry Jacks, its just chalk and cheese. I refuse to eat at the burger king near me. Its so filthy its scary.

And their toys are heaps better.


bajachris88 - June 5th, 2006 at 08:06 PM

LOL!!

Speaking of hungry jacks, u eva tried that new double beef and bacon or wateva burger with the mushroom sauce!! F-N FILTHY!!

was like as though they got a scoop of dead cat and put it between 2 buns.

the mushroom sauce was like jelly, and felt disgusting. i didn't see any mushrooms in there either :o

However, thumbs up for the 30c cones, they give more icecream and taste creamier than maccas (sure that means its worse for ya though), but the unlimited free drink refills is kool too, especially when u share a cup with a good mate. (without killing each other in sharing illnesses)

bugeyedbabe - June 5th, 2006 at 10:11 PM

I prefer to go to maccas...better slides for me to play on :lol:

And the toys are pretty kool as well

HEY, did i EVER say i went just for the kids...i think not.....

Its my playground too. I take the kids so I can play, cause u know, you can't play if ur over 12, but little kids...they HAVE to be supervised by an adult. Move over Aj...mummys turn down the slide.


h - June 6th, 2006 at 10:46 AM

so is it later this week then.. maybe??


silver - June 6th, 2006 at 02:39 PM

Just got Lightning McQueen at Annandale Maccas
and he pops wheelies :bounce

amazeer - June 6th, 2006 at 02:50 PM

SO I was told by a lady here at work who fusses over my desktop pic.

At the moment its the red car and the blue car. The maccas girl has no idea what kombi or filmore is. I had to say 'green van'


ByronBug - June 6th, 2006 at 03:36 PM

I went to nearby McDonalds today.
Yes the CARS happy meals are out now.
They have a choice this week of the red one (Lightning McQueen) or the blue one (Doc Hudson)
Saw all the characters on the shelf.. they all are slightly bigger than the matchbox ones..........DAM no filmore this week....try next week

Also if anyone is chasing a matchbox filmore & still can't find one, I have a few spares you can buy off me :thumb

amazeer - June 9th, 2006 at 11:04 AM
