I took a trip across town a bit to the one BK that has always sold them to me without the food. I was able to pick up all of wave 5, so only one week to go. As much as I like this little promotion (they really aren't bad little toys for roughly $1), I will be happy when this is over next week and I don't have to run around town after them. Just as a side note, there have been three BKs I've visited, and two (while inconsistent) have insisted you have to buy food to pick these up while the other one will sell you as many as you want for $0.99 each. Guess which one has been getting our business?
Agreed! I have really enjoyed the promo, but it will be nice to slow down on the BK food consumption.
I travel between two cities for work, so I see the inconsistencies everywhere. The city where I work had three Burger Kings (one sold all of the toys separately for 60 cents each) the other two require a meal and only allow two toys per meal. The one that was selling them separately went out of business last week, so all week I have had to eat BK (especially since this is the best week of the promo). When I’m home on the weekends (we have quite a few Burger Kings), but the one near my home allows them to be purchased separately for 99 cents each. So now that the 60 cent place closed, I try to get all I can at home before I head to work on Monday.
