Ditto in Plainwell - they (McD's) usually only have a box/case of one or two different
toys/junk at hand, though are good at searching for any (having two boys, they don't
usually want the same toy).

Now all this talk is having me wonder if I shouldn't collect at least one of each if
possible at least for trade later on - though the previous McD/Lego sets don't seem to
be much sought after?  (I did like those burgers they had a year or so ago with the
peppered bacon, or maybe it was peppered burger with bacon).  My youngest son's
birthday is the first week of November, and he'll be having a Birthday party after our
vacation - perhaps the party food could be Happy Meals - though could have a mutiny on
hand as they'll know there should be a toy/junk - I could replace it with a Lego
polybag which was going to be the Treasure Hunt prizes - and I could instead have a
Lego Brick Hunt, similar to Easter Egg Hunt - there I think I've talked myself into it.

By the way, does eBates still have the discount for eToys was it?  I had signed up at
one point (yes, using lar as member ref), but now I want to shop I don't find them
listed under toys.
Cheers,
Pam

(...) Wheedle how? To sell you all the sets at once? Check with the manager, there's usually a mail-in form to obtain all the sets. Unfortunately, the offer includes special packaging or display add-ons, and the price is boosted. Getting everything (...) (27 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr)
