McDonald's Question
Mon Jul 11, 2005 1:17 pm
Okay, I just went to check out what was happening in the Happy Meals today (I live in Adelaide, Australia) and they were 2 weeks into the Heffalump (sp?) Happy meal. I asked if they knew about the Neopets Meal, and they said no.
I then looked up the Happy Meal site on Neopets, and the dates have been changed to "From Oct. 1st to November 4th"
...Has anyone else gotten that? Does that mean it's been delayed for Australia? If it is, I'm not going to be happy...
I've emailed McDonald's about it, and hope to get a reply tomorrow, so I'll update on the situation... I just thought it strange that the dates on Neopets have been changed, even on the picture with the different plushies that can be received.

I just spoke to my brother who works at McDonalds. As always his answers to my questions were a little vague. From what I could gather he does know at least something about Neopets coming to stores in Australia and when I asked for a time he said "Soon" when asking for clarification he said "A few weeks or something". I don't know how much help that will have been but its the best I can personally do, I thought the promotion was only in the US and not Australia, that's how out of the know I was

No one ever said the Promotion was coming to Australia. At least, not that I heard. The current promotion is only in the US and Canada.
But I guess this is good news that it's also coming to Australia

Alright, I got a confirmation from McD's that the Neopets Series 2 release might be starting around September.
It's nice that we're getting it, for then I can have my pink poogle toy of Doom!
I just hope that we'll still be able to redeem our virtual prize codes.

Was not the Aussie giveaway that time last year, almost right after the American? That is what I remember.

For the record, don't bother asking the crew at McDonalds if they know anything.
We don't know a bloody thing. And we will mock you mercilessly once you're out of ear shot. Just for the record.
I had to deal with little screaming brats because we were only giving out the Kiko today. The little runts deserved a kick in the head, particularily some little blond bray for yelling at Grandma that he didn't want another one.
