I have to agree with Greg about this set (I just got mine today). It is
nice. The only complaints I have are that they should have used a pair of
those smooth top arches with a few 1x1 bricks to make the golden arches, and
that they should have included a piece of blue tinted glass for one of the
windows. The only "juniorized" pieces are the car plate (and this is one of
the nicer car plates), the cheesy new style junior arch, and a 1x2x2 brick
which the burger and fries sticker goes on (which I like, I've got plenty of
1x2x1 bricks, and I like that the sticker isn't a multi-brick sticker). Oh,
I guess you could also say it should have had 2 2x10 black bricks instead of
a 4x10 black brick. In some ways I would have liked the pieces to be
printed, on the other hand with the stickers we get a nice source of 1x4x3
thin walls, and plain white torsos. Oh, one more thing, it would have been
nice in some ways if they had used the 16x16 drive way base plate and a 8x16
base plate instead of 6x12 and 4x12 green plates, but then those are better
as a parts source.
From my perspective, here are the parts which make it well worth getting:
2 red 1x4x3 train window frames
1 black 1x4x5 window
1 black 1x4x5 door
1 green 6x12 plate
1 green 4x12 plate
1 black 4x10 brick
1 yellow 4x6 brick
2 yellow 4x4 quarter circle bricks
1 yellow 4x4 plate
2 red 2x2 flags w/clips (1)
1 white 4x4 radar dish
1 dk grey minifigs legs
1 white minifig torso (undecorated)
1 red minifig cup
1 yellow minifig cup
2 red minifig chairs
2 red 2x2 inverse 45 degree slope
2 white 1x3x1 car doors (pair)
1 white 2x2 45 degree slope buttons and number printing
(1) my pirate ships will love these
That's almost a third of the parts

| (...) like (...) Well, umm, that is what most McDonald's that I have had experiences with look like, the color scheme and weird architecture, anyway. As for its juniorization, it is one of the least juniorized 1999 sets that I can name off the top (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
