I remember having the pinball Mario ball, I loved that shit as a kid, but I lost it when I got older.
I still have the Holographic N64 Mario render collectible cards somewhere though.
ah so what you're saying is... it ISNT free. It being cheaper than an alternative doesn't make it free. >This used car is $5000 >But this used car is $2000 >So if I buy the $2000 car, I'm actually getting it for free! Plus I'm actually earning an extra $3000! I'm so smart!
taco bells last good toys were the star wars ones when George Lucas revamped the original trilogy for one last time. they don't even have kids meals anymore. cheap fuckers.
>when George Lucas revamped the original trilogy for one last time
George never stopped fucking with the original trilogy. Even after the '97 Special Editions, he made big changes with the 2004 DVD release and the 2011 Blu Ray release. Even the 2019 4K releases had numerous changes that were made in preparation for the planned 3D re-releases back in 2012.

HOT DAMN I GOT A MEMORY BLAST, I REMEMBER GETTING A GLASS BATMAN MUG FROM BURGER KING I THINK
SPEAKING OF BURGER KING WAS IT THEM THAT GAVE OUT THE POKEMON IN POKEBALLS? I GOT A SANDSHREW. WELL THAT’S IT BROS THANKS FOR READING MY BLOG POST
I didn't remember Batman, but I do remember the Flintstone ones from that shitty live action movie. On that note, did anyone else live in a broke as fuck household who saved Welch's jelly jars and use them as small cups? They used to have all sorts of kid's shit painted on them.
Do fast food restaurants even give away toys anymore? Besides McDonalds.
It seemed like they all did when I was a kid, even subway gave away silly straws for a while iirc.
>all of the matoran have the mask of their respective toa >except the blue one, which has the mask of the fire turga instead of the water one
what did they mean by this
The burger king pokemon mighty kids meal
The many Nintendo happy meals
The Wendy's Mario figure that was the definitive Mario figure until the 2010's
The robo dogs
The taco bell dogs

I actually got the full set. My mom was unusually supportive of my goal to complete the whole toy. She would look around thrift stores after they phased them out of the kids meals, and I'd trade pokemon cards with kids at school to get the parts I was missing.
God damn that controller on the right looks fucking horrible. Is that a wheel for the analog stick? Another wheel for the left trigger and some weird ass three-way switch for the right bumper? Jesus Christ.

>rampant run away inflation, quality of life getting worse all around >most young people will never be able to afford a home >but let me tell you about the worrying cost/quality of happy meal toys
Even the actual fast food itself is going through ridiculous inflationary highs.
A guy tried to sell me a home the other day and I laughed and refused him telling him homes are worthless and only a fool would buy one right now. Best / worst part. The dude broke down in frustration. No one is buying, he cant offload anything and he blames landlords. Rent around here is about 175% to 200% cheaper than a mortgage and you get a lease that lets you force the landlord to pay for upkeep and breakdowns. The bubble will burst sooner or later. Just gotta wait.
If you live in a civilized area you post a notice of incidence and what the landlord has to do to satisfy it based on the lass agreement. You are not obligated to pay rent during that time and if its a health threat they have to put you up in a hotel until its fixed.
Talking with him its not boomers exactly. Its the big investment firms that come in and buy up land to flip it. He worked for one and one of the problems he has is the company will NEVER sell for less than what they bought it for. Because the assumption is that given enough time someone will want the land for something and will pay a premium for it. As such if you cant make a profit off it now its better to sit on it for 50 years until you can.
>thinking that some shitty gold foil toy from burger king was worth anything
it's worth whatever its worth to you i guess, just like NFT or beanie babies
I wish I was able to keep any of my old toys. I had the Jigglypuff and Togepi one amongst some others but I moved around a lot and my mom would randomly throw them out when I wasn't around.
>my mom would randomly throw them out when I wasn't around
I honestly can't believe how much of my shit my mom would just throw away when i was away at college or whatever else. like, she'd say if I wanted to keep it I should have taken it with me but I literally couldn't. they even own a storage unit it could have gone in. and all the shit she'd throw away was stuff they bought me in the first place. They'd even throw away drawings I made that were just sitting in drawers. Literally almost nothing of my childhood exists anymore just because she's borderline psycho and goes into a frenzied trance cleaning stuff without ever even considering if it meant anything to me. my oldest drawings are all digital drawings I did that I uploaded to google drive.
Yeah my mom had a bunch of excuses as well. I'm pretty sure she threw out my first set of Pokemon cards too because I don't even remember getting rid of them lol. It's not my fault we moved around so much. She would always do it while I was at school and I come home looking for it to find out it was gone. Makes me pissed. Some of this has historical value.
The best part was that instead of just plastic bags they came in Pokeballs which you could use to store them in or roleplay with. God the 90's were so based.
>and will the Happy Meal be for a boy or a girl?
I remember the server distinctly asking this. I'm assuming there's no way they're still doing that in 2023.
It's probably way more time-consuming having to ask clueless parents which type of toy their kid specifically wants just to not offend some troons or whatever.
I remember going somewhere with my mom, sister and one of her friends when I was really young.
We stopped at a McDonalds and they both got barbie toys and I got a hot wheels car. They were playing together and I felt left out so I got my mom to return my car for a barbie toy.
I regretted it shorty after we got in the car to drive home.
>commies can't understand the concept of free market >thinking that because something is on the market that you have to buy it
This just gives opportunity for people to make a quality product and make money because of it
The paid one is better, plastic heads on plush bodies were always ugly and anti fun, too soft to be actual toys, with a hard spot that prevents them to be cool plushies.

The Wendy's kids meal Mario toys were pure unfiltered SOUL
I had parachute Mario and a pinball Mario which I believe was a dog toy.
I've still got the "action" figure. It's actually on my desk as we speak.

>free toy
you mean a toy that comes with the meal that you're already overpaying for?
Any other time you'd overpay for the meal and not get a toy with it, so yes, it's free.
that's not how commerce works you retarded burgermutt
>pay $5 for kids meal(no toy included)
>pay $5 for kids meal(toy included)
free toy
they were like $2, even now it's cheaper to buy a happy meal than the items individually
ah so what you're saying is... it ISNT free. It being cheaper than an alternative doesn't make it free.
>This used car is $5000
>But this used car is $2000
>So if I buy the $2000 car, I'm actually getting it for free! Plus I'm actually earning an extra $3000! I'm so smart!
reminds me of those old trollphysics comics
I remember the Taco Bell Nintendo toys were only 99 cents. The west has truly fallen.
taco bells last good toys were the star wars ones when George Lucas revamped the original trilogy for one last time. they don't even have kids meals anymore. cheap fuckers.

I have that Donkey Kong toy. It's fun
they encouraged kids to by extra ones and give them as gifts
fuark i miss the old pre-rendered promotional art for the N64
if you wrote a letter to mcdonalds hq you could get the toys for free
t. did that as a kid

HOT DAMN I GOT A MEMORY BLAST, I REMEMBER GETTING A GLASS BATMAN MUG FROM BURGER KING I THINK
SPEAKING OF BURGER KING WAS IT THEM THAT GAVE OUT THE POKEMON IN POKEBALLS? I GOT A SANDSHREW. WELL THAT’S IT BROS THANKS FOR READING MY BLOG POST
my pug got a hold of the pokeball and suffocated 🙁
I’M SORRY THAT’S AWFUL
pugs are ugly and retarded
You wouldn't say that to his face you asshole
how can I? didn't it suffocate?
I know that's why I said you wouldn't because you'd have to dig up his corpse from my backyard which is probably decomposed after 2 decades
my girlfriend in college had a pug. fucking ugly little rats. they're a product of bad genes
most dogs, especially pits, are products of bad genes. same goes for the people who own pits.
don't look up thorough breds. they're made from incest.
it was taco bell. I had them too
I had all the taco bell glass mugs. batman forever sucked ass though.
Batman Forever glass mugs were from McDonalds
I still have Riddler and Robin. Two face broke years ago and batman either broke super early or I never got one.
I didn't remember Batman, but I do remember the Flintstone ones from that shitty live action movie. On that note, did anyone else live in a broke as fuck household who saved Welch's jelly jars and use them as small cups? They used to have all sorts of kid's shit painted on them.
>free
Why do normalfags always fall for it?
Doesn't matter, they're both going up my ass.
The key-fob toy on the right looks like it's made out of better materials and has better stitching
Do fast food restaurants even give away toys anymore? Besides McDonalds.
It seemed like they all did when I was a kid, even subway gave away silly straws for a while iirc.
The chain chomp wendys toy could have been used as a weapon by a child. I broke a lightbulb with it.
total fvcking societal collapse
it's mariover
we live in a time where products are inferior and the prices are jacked up.
Toys I got from the dollar store in the 90's are now in regular stores for like $10. The world is just getting cheaper
>free toy
You had to buy the meal, you dumb retard

the only good happy meal toys ever were these and maybe pokemon cards or other Lego sets, change my mind
I liked the ones that fit together like a puzzle.

>except the blue one, which has the mask of the fire turga instead of the water one
what did they mean by this
maku is a girl so shes different
i bet its because the water toa mask was always transparent and the transparent pieces are probably more expensive than opaque ones

The best was the Inspector Gadget toys that you could assemble together into a large Inspector Gadget.
I actually got the full set. My mom was unusually supportive of my goal to complete the whole toy. She would look around thrift stores after they phased them out of the kids meals, and I'd trade pokemon cards with kids at school to get the parts I was missing.
They made a Inspector Gadget movie? Was Penny hot?
they made 2 of them. they starred ferris bueller.
your mom is ferris bueller
Weird, not sure how I missed those. I watched the cartoon a fair amount too.
Those little lcd games were cool there were the sonic ones and one time they had spyro
Honorable mention

fucking bitch
It's kind of cool how someone modded the toy controller into a working one.
I wonder if anyone put a raspberry pi in the gameboy thing.
I found the controller one in the middle of the street, so i took it for a day when im feeling particularly clever enough to mod it.
>6-36m

>hall effect sensors are apparently worth 200$ on a gaycube controller
>but 70$ if you don't mind a switch controller
My son had both of them and played with them constantly. Fun fact: the controller would play a special tune if you put the Konami code in.
is the right one an actual controller? can i play smash with it?
>Ganker is all redditors who are here to wax nostalgic about the 90s and fight culture wars
It all makes sense.

From just glancing at the thumbnail it looked like Mario on the right had some sort of tentacled parasite bursting from his skull.
Too many horror games recently, I guess.

Thanks boomers who look at homes as an investment and not as a place to fucking live.
Talking with him its not boomers exactly. Its the big investment firms that come in and buy up land to flip it.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had laws that prevented the ultra rich from screwing over literally everyone else
yeah, its a good thing that the ultra rich can't just bribe the people who make the laws, that would just screw everything up
yeah anon you could totally make laws and outbid 10 trillion dollars
>Talking with him its not boomers exactly. Its the big investment firms
which are run by boomers.
Mario if he lead
We had it too good 90's bros. Look at all this shit. Burger King toys in 1999.
>geodude and poliwag lines have all 3 members

anyone keep these fucking things even after figuring out they were worthless?
>thinking that some shitty gold foil toy from burger king was worth anything

I still have mine. I don't care that they're just electro plated plastic bricks I like how they look.

The worst. My blood pressure rose reading this.
You mean these aren’t real gold? I had these written down as 10k each on my end of year statement
you probably shouldnt let the irs know about that
The best part was that instead of just plastic bags they came in Pokeballs which you could use to store them in or roleplay with. God the 90's were so based.
Fuck, I still remember how these smell.
I remember having the poliwrath, also some of the BK toys from Pokémon the Movie 2000.

I also had one of these but it broke. These fuckers are hard to find even on eBay

Yes and it's an official one. There was two for OoT, two for Banjo, one for DK 64, possibly more.

Crazy that I had and remember each of these Burger King toys. I have hardly any memories from childhood.
