I have collected McPromo sets #1, #2, #3, and #4 so far and here a couple of
thoughts - YMMV.
I like #1 the best as I think it contains the most useful bricks and also
has the largest number (18) of the first four sets. I also like #3 but
really only due to the pink plates. So far, #2 and #4 have been easy to
find, #1 somewhat more common but still pretty rare, and #3 very hard to
find.
I have been to probably half a dozen McD's and the price to buy the sets
without the meal is eith $0.99, $1.59, or $1.69. Unfortunately the McD's
near my office which only charges $0.99 only has had #2 to date. The McD's
near my house also only charges $0.99 and has had all four sets.
My guess is there is a huge difference in the volume of Happy Meals sold by
the McD near my house as opposed to what is sold at the McD near my office.
I work in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, which if you are not
familiar with the area, is virtually void of residential communities -
everyone lives in Raleigh (or Cary), Durham, or Chapel Hill and commutes
out to a large office park in the middle of the three cities.

| (...) #1 has the most bricks, and is the best model (what *is* the #2 model?). But set #2 has black bricks & slopes. #3 has the pink plates, and #4 has green bricks and slopes. The nice thing about the printed McD slopes is they are smooth, so it (...) (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.promo)
