Unless things change much from normal Happy Meal toy distribution:
McDonald's always claims there wil be a different set each week, and usually
has a marker in the stores showing which one it's supposed to be. BUT, not
every McD's follows this stringently and sometimes you'll get a totally
different set, and usually near the end of the promotion you can ask for a
specific set (assuming they aren't just totally out of them).
I don't usually eat in McD's, because frankly the "food" makes me nauseous (and
don't get me wrong, I eat some really narsty stuff on a regular basis- I'm not
a health food person).
Even barring that, I'd be willing to try to track down a set of these for
someone who really wanted them, but it's a gigantic pain in the arse- much more
so than running down to the local TRU to pick up a football starter set or
sending away to Tine for a Milk Truck- because the employees at McD's
inherently don't care about the distribution too much. They don't care about
the differences between the sets, and don't see why you should, either.
How many sets are there (including the DUPLO one)? When does it start? I'd be
willing to give getting a whole set of them a go. I love a challenge.
