There have been two BIONICLE/fast food promos. The original McToran sets,
which were actual TECHNIC parts, were all made in Denmark, and I suspect the
Australian rerelease sets were as well. The second batch, which were all
goofy little trinket-toys, and which were only offered in the UK (and I
believe they were a BK promo, not McD) were not at all brick-compatible, so
part tolerance was probably much less restrictive.

Actually, there’ve been three Bionicle-related McPromos, although the middle one
didn’t come with actual sets. In mid-May 2002, the
Bohrok Swarm trading card packs were
released with “Big Kid” meals.
Back on topic: the larger Knights’ Kingdom figures are on a par with the
Bionicle Toa/Rahkshi/Vahki price point and set count, so that’s not bad. But I
see what is meant by the high price for
Vladek Encounter, same price for not a lot of stuff. The larger castle sets
seem like a better value, with a price per piece about half that of the
Encounter.
I don’t see much problem with picking up a few of the KK sets at their US price
points, although I’ll probably stay away from the smaller, higher
price-per-piece sets.
