What are your opinions on the fast food toys that are around. I know many people collect them. What do you all think of them?? I actually have a price guide that includes them soo the market must be fairly large

I am personally flabbergasted at this new area of collecting, lol. But I suppose it makes sense...here is a whole new category, after all. And the fast food toys are usually character collectibles, which hits that collecting market as well. Some of them are really neato too. I have a thumbelina, I think she is, and she is on a base that when you push the button she twirls around..she is very cool ;D

I used to have a set of Garfield toys and a set of Sesame Street toys from McDonalds, I think from the 1980s. I don't have all of them anymore though. At the time, I just found them fun to play with, although now I could understand how they would make a good collectible. Between my sister and I, we have the full set of Fellowship of the Rings light-up goblets from Burger King though

Hey guys - These items are worth some money - not big but for the item not bad - starting @ $3 for toys - $10 for watches - more for complete sets - let me know what you have or looking for - will do some research for you - or others might know

Hmm I may have to pick a few up the next time I see them. Are they better to leave in the wrappers?

Also collectible from the fast food category, and this will sound odd..are unused food wrappers, bags fry boxes ect. Especially the ones that are promotional like the lion king bags and the like.

It seems like anything that everyone throws away a person should keep because a few years later everyone will be collecting it

If you can keep a complete set in the package - they will bring a better price - at times i could double or triple the price

on all those happy meals with disney toys - up till 1996 burger king had the contract with disney but mcdonalds bet them out - burger king went with nickalodeo ( my speling isn't great ) also warner bros. i think whoever made men in black (to lazy to get up & go look at the movie box) right now bk is betting mcdonalds but sonic is at their high but there toys arn't worth anything - now taco bell is in the running for collectibles too
