Looking for a McDonald’s collector cup from the adult Happy Meal? They’re selling online for $125.
Websites like eBay and Mercari are jumping on the trend of McDonald’s nostalgic collector cups, included with the chain’s new Collector’s Meals, also known as adult Happy Meals.
Just days after McDonald’s introduced adult Happy Meals featuring collectible cups, these cups have quickly gained popularity on various online shopping sites.
The collectible cups were launched on Tuesday as part of the new Collector’s Meal from McDonald’s, and they have already appeared for sale on platforms like eBay and Mercari. Prices for these resold cups range from as low as $15 to as much as $100. There are even some complete sets being offered for around $125.
While you can still buy these collectible cups along with a McDonald’s Collector’s Meal, you won’t know which cup you’ll receive, and scoring all six different cups can be tricky, as this offer is available for a limited time only.
Here’s what to keep in mind.
Collectible cups available for purchase online, separately from meals
You can acquire a collectible cup without visiting McDonald’s, but be aware that an adult Happy Meal will not be included in your order.
Additionally, the specific cup you want, such as those featuring Barbie or Shrek, might not be available. Prices for these cups range from $15 to $100.
McDonald’s draws inspiration from its past designs
McDonald’s latest product encourages customers to look back, evoking memories of simpler times when toys like Cowpoke McNugget Buddy, Dragster, or Hello Kitty keychains brought joy.
These collectibles, according to the fast-food giant, were central to the experiences of fans. The new line of cup-sakes is a modern twist on the classics, aiming to provide customers with “a tangible memory,” as stated by company executive Morgan Flatley in a press release.
“These collectible cups celebrate some of our most memorable designs and collaborations globally, allowing longtime fans to revisit cherished moments while also helping a new generation create their own lasting memories,” said Flatley.
Potential designs for the Collector’s Meal cups include:
- McDonald’s
- Coca-Cola
- Hello Kitty & Peanuts
- Beanie Babies
- Barbie & Hot Wheels
- Shrek, Jurassic Park & Minions
The cup is given for free when purchasing a Collector’s Meal, which includes an entree, side, and drink, with options varying depending on the time of day.
