In about 2 years or so, those cards will either be worth a great deal of money or be something you can buy for less than 50 cents online.


true enough I have that complete promo set of McDonald yu-gi-oh cards back from 03-04 and i could eaisly get 200 hundred dollars right now lawl.


With Japan, there is a market for virtually every product. Put this item online on a site and anyone with a computer can buy this item. The less produced this item is, the higher the chance of a higher return of money in the future. Mass produced is usually a lower number, but sometimes you can get lucky a manage to get some real money for items.

If I were you though Cecil, I'd sell that set now if you can get that sort of money. The market for trading cards is constantly shifting, sometimes at a rate that even professionals can't keep with at times.

Haha.......... just right for Gundam Age............ Laughing

Guess McD's is being proactive, like this:

"McDonald’s offering free small fries for job applicants"



"They could at least offer a medium - with the option to supersize it!"

That burger looks way too plain for a McDonald's commercial. What gives?

New FDA regulations and probably this is much cheaper to produce as well. Meat is expensive and the price is not as cheap anymore due to increase prices of alfalfa for the cows.

Just a card?

Call me when they start putting gunpla in them.


they're for arcade games

Because everyone forgot what arcades are over here (or are too uppity to accept that they exist). This is why I'm glad I'm older.

The first Gundam Happy Meal in Japan. Really? The franchise has been around for thirty-two years now, I'm amazed that McDonalds hasn't done anything like this before. Maybe there wasn't a suitable kid-friendly show airing at the same time to provide a marketing platform?

And yes, I do realise that calling Gundam AGE "kid-friendly" is kind of strange given the many deaths in that show.
