Remember the anticipation of going to McDonald’s, ordering your four-piece McNugget meal with an Orange Hi-C, and anxiously waiting to unveil the toy you received in your Golden Arches cardboard box? Now you can feel that same sense of splendor ordering a Collector’s Meal—a Happy Meal designed for an adult’s appetite. Plus, they come with a collector’s cup, just to further fuel your sense of nostalgia.
McDonald’s relaunched the Collector’s Meal last week to “unlock core memories around some of our favorite McDonald's moments,” according to a company announcement. And, much like the Teenie Babies craze of the late 1990s, people have already started reselling these collector cups on websites including eBay and Mercari at crazy markups. A cup you could receive in a $12 Collector’s Meal is reselling, in some cases, for more than $100. One seller on eBay appears to be selling a set of three cups for a whopping $150.
