So in Canada they have the despicable me minion toys now free with any happy meal purchase (or 2 bucks which is half the price of the meal lol) Anybody else collecting these? I think they're 8-10 altogether or something. I've never seen so many adults ordering happy meals in my life.. lol. 

They are great!  I love the whistle guy!  And yes...we all had happy meals for dinner----3 cool minions.

Haha, I got him first, then just got banana dude yesterday. It's been a while since McDonald's happy meal toys actually caught my attention.

I used to collect the Happy Meal toys when I was a kid but not anymore. Although I may just have to swing by my McDonalds for these guys!

*Groan* my kids want McDonalds all the time now thanks to these guys. Tempted to just buy them the large interactive ones instead as we all know what happens to Maccas toys eventually.

Sweet. You can get obesity and toys!!!

My boys love the minions. We have 1 - 4 so far. But we did not order any happy meals or any other food. You can buy the toys alone for 99 cents each in the US. But we did buy boxes of Cheerios in order to get the minion in it.

I want the one with the banana! I've only got one so far, but the few mcd's i've been to have been sold out!

How much is a Happy Meal these days?

$3.99 for any. Used to be more for the chicken mcnugget ones.

We have them too in the UK. My sister says she has got me one

Man, used to be 1.99. Freakin inflation.

LOL the things that people go to just to get a minion from a movie. It's like their the next superhero or something. Still AWESOME though I love the little guys. 

Now if we could just get LEGO minifigure minions!  If LEGO got that license they could sell a ton of these!!

I bought about 100 minions of different varieties since there seems to be north american exclusives. Going to wait for this to eol before selling.

Good lord. you do this with a lot of McDonalds toys?

 

You should have bought 100 happy meals. That would've bought you some serious Cred.

Lol only this one. Small inveatment but gauging how many of my friends are missing minions coupled with the fact that a minion movie spinoff is coming out means this has the potential to double in value. Average cost of each was only around 1.5 anyways... lol

Friends missing minions as in gauging facebook..lol

Hey ph4tb0i, are some more limited than others?  I haven't bought any or plan too but my sister inlaw is having a hard time finding the one holding that green thingy/object to complete her set.  checked a few McD's and sold out...just curious.  With your inventory I'm sure there will be buyers and you'll turn a decent profit.    

Oooh yeah. McDonald's has 20 different variations or something produced worldwide. Hoarders (like me) are scooping them up en masse so it's creating this massive shortage everywhere.

Prices varies from mcdonald's from $1 - $2 depending on what the manager wants. At those prices it's a no-brainer to buy at least a couple dozen. All I've seen on my facebook wall are people taking pictures of their minions.. 

haha, didn't know different countries have different versions.  Always something new for collectors every week it seems.   

So...the minions are EOL now. #1 and #3 in my city have been very rare (those are the two North American exclusives) because some guy bought the entire box at the Mcd's, and he posted a pic of it all to sell on Craigslist. From what my sis tells me in a forum she has been reading, a lot of people are angry at him.

 

Best time to flip right now, I think, while everyone is still desperately hoping they will find that one minion they are missing.

Already sold 11 jelly shooters at 50 percent profit. If you are in the USA or can go to the USA pick up the collectors edition dave from toys r us. It's their exclusive and you can bet the value of it will definitely go up.

Kept one for myself though hahaha

Also don't forget that there is a minion movie coming out, so lots of opportunity in the future for these things to appreciate once people want to fill in their collection.

And yeah I have 23 of the one with dave holding the banana (number 3). Muahahahahahahaha

Eep, I was just in the states on Saturday. Didn't know about the TRU exclusive, but I did pick up a few of the minions at McDonald's. The ones I went to still had some. In Canada, it looks like it's a hit or miss whether or not they still carry them.
