I was wondering if someone in the UK could go to McDonalds and get me some of the Happy Meal My Little Ponies. I have the US set, and to be honest they're not nearly as adorable at the set being sold in the UK. The way it works, is that each week they will be including 2 different My Little Ponies in the Happy Meals, but you don't have to buy the Happy Meal, they will sell them seperately for a couple of dollars, that may be about 1 Pound Sterling. If someone would be willing to get them for me, I would be so grateful and I would also pay for them, plus shipping. It would probably take about a month to get them, unless you found a cool McDonalds that would sell them all at once. Please, please I am absolutely in LOVE with the UK My Ponies.

Thanks,
Hope

Thanks Sam. The UK ponies are adorable.

Actually there are only 4 of them. Here's a picture of them. So, it probably won't take a month to get them. Here in the USA they sold them 2 at a time, for about 4 weeks or so. Here is a picture of the UK, My Little Ponies.

Hope - when my daughter goes to the city at the weekend - she's told me she will see what's available. Apparently they usually only do one a week!?! I'll let you know what she finds out.

Oh I would be so happy and thrilled. I collect My Little Ponies. The US ponies had plastic tails, instead of hair tails, and they were bascially just smaller versions of the Regular My Little Ponies sold in stores, same poses and everything. The UK ponies are unique

Due to the fact that there are only 4 UK My Little Ponies, they may be selling them 1 per week. In the US, we had 8 and they sold 2 each week. I have all 8 of the US ponies, and I didn't have to buy one happy meal to get them. I just had to pay them $1.95 each which I think is about 1 pound British. They may be more expensive in the UK, because I think things cost a bit more there. I will be so very thrilled if you or your daughter could pick me up any of them.

I am so grateful to all of you wonderful UK people. By the way, I don't mind getting duplicates so if more than one of you get some ponies, I'll be happy to pay for them and the shipping.

Under the cats, mostly.
That's a real shame I didn't see this thread earlier, because I have a set from when I was a kid - the proper ones, not the little things you get in your happy meals. I've not long given them away to a friend of mine for her daughter - and yeah.. though I hate to admit it, they are sickeningly cute!
I'll have a mosey into a McD's too though and see what they're doing

If anybody can't get them, let me know! I have SO many McDonalds around me that I could try them all!! Most of them have student staff - they are very likely to give them out all at once!!


I used to go to the drive thu just to buy the Happy Meal toys!!

I've got one!!!!

Apparantly they only have one of the 4 ponies to give each week, so the one McDonalds had in my area was "Star Bright".

I don't know if it's the same for all areas or if they do any of the other ones for their week?!.

If anyone else gets a different one let me know, failing that i'll get one of the others next weekend.

Thank you so much, rosiemac. I sent you a PM about it. I hope you got it. The PM's didn't seem to be working right, so I hope it went through. Star Bright and Cloud Dancer are my two favorites. I want them all, but I'm especially love those two, and to be honest I would love duplicates of them. It's not like I can get any extra's of them here in the States.

I'm grateful to all of you in the UK for helping me out with getting these ponies. As a My Little Pony Collector, it's such a bonus to my collection to have all of the McDonalds Ponies as well as the regular sized ponies.
