2021 Pokemon McDonald's 25th Anniversary Special Edition Gaming Forum

Did anyone else have McDonald's Happy Meals for dinner tonight?

Yep.  Lol.  Well not me but we bought one for my son.  

I finally broke down. The kids and I had happy meals and shamrock shakes for dinner. It was enjoyable from the standpoint that we all have a few Pokémon cards and had dinner and a shake. I'm not going to go buy 100 happy meals for the cards but having them in there made for a fun dinner.

i'n trying not to be "that" guy.  that being said, my kids have had mcdonalds 3x this week...between us (me and 4 kids) we almost have the base set...

btw the spicy nuggets are GOOD! havent had the shamrock shake yet this year...i just cant get into it when it's below freezing outside.

The McDonald's I work at is completely sold out of them. Shame, I wanted a couple of them and I don't even collect Pokemon cards.

Last week, I finished collecting all the McDonald's Hasbro Gaming figures for my daughter.  Just got the last two I needed when they introduced Pokemon.  I think I had enough hunting down those eight Hasbro figures.  I need to go on a diet now!

My daughter is full on into pokemon now so we've been hitting up McD's a bit with this current craze.  Luckily they've been restocking so even though they sold out fast at first, they are getting more in each week.

And for others here who are into pokemon or have kids that are, there is a new set launching this month as well.  Haven't seen a checklist for which cards it will contain yet but I'm sure it's coming soon.

I happened to stop by Mcdonalds yesterday to grab my son a Happy Meal fully expecting he wouldn't get any Pokemon cards.  To my surprise he actually got some.  It even came with a cool carboard box to put the cards in.  

This was his first trading card pack opening ever so I am glad they had some in stock.  I had been wanting to get him some Pokemon cards to open to get him interested in cards but Pokemon cards are basically sold out at retail everywhere.  

The set is Sword & Shield Shining Fates. I just picked up an Elite Trainer Box and my daughter and I will be opening it tonight. The set with checklist is uploaded.

Also, in addition to the McD's 25th Anniversary set, General Mills will be including 25th Anniversay 3-card packs in select General Mills Cereal which will release on the February 27th. There's also a "Jumbo" set called "First Partners" that will have one 3-card pack per month of jumbo cards that will be released starting in March and run through October. The first card (Pikachu) is available this month with a collector's album. 

I'll get those checklists posted within the next day or two.

I've got the whole set with some dupes for trade. My trade & want lists are updated.
