It’s Pokemon Season at McDonald’s. And what does that mean? It means everyone and their mom is buyng Happy Meals. Including me. I got to feed my kids. And they like McDonald’s. Is it wrong that I keep the cards? I would say nope. They still get the stickers that usually come with the cards and they’re as happy as can be. 2 and 3 years old is perfect for this. They get excited with a couple of paper airplanes and boats.
I have noticed that some people are complaining about their McDonald’s running out of cards for the Happy Meals, but I haven’t encountered that yet. Every night I go I get my 5 Happy Meals. Chocalate Milk and Apple Juice, and I don’t have to run to the grocery store. It’s a win-win situation.
But, now we see the prices race to the bottom as everyone is undercutting the next seller. Pikachu Holo, started around $75 I think, and now its sitting at around $40. It’s still a good amount considering you found it in a Happy Meal. Bulbasaur and Charmander fetching $10 and $15. I think Bulbasaur actually went up a little as I saw the prices at $8 for a bit.
Now it’s been 30 packs or so, and finally got the Holo Pikachu. Was it worth the time spent driving to McDonald’s ordering 5 Happy Meals every night, for this one card. Yes, Yes it was. And I shall still be looking till they run out of Pokemon cards.
Even thought they might drop down to $20 bucks in the near future. Nothing beats the feeling of getting the one card that you’re looking for out of a pack.
