Simpsons Halloween toys at Burger King

I got 2 happy meals (or whatever they call them at BK) and got Grandma as a vampire, as well as Mr. Burns as the mad scientist building the robot. I'll be going back to get the rest of them.

you can buy them for either 99 cents or $1.25 without buying the meal (I got charged both prices so far at different locations). It is a little embarrassing for an adult to ask though... they always look at you funny, and a little "bothered". But I just go in and say give me any that you have... I don't worry about dupes, because it's is just too embarrassing... nice figures though.

So far, I have Willie, Grandpa, Hibbert, Milhouse (ugly), and Maggie.

Well, THAT'S strange! I went to a Burger King in Chicago, did the same thing (got Apu, Maggie and Doctor Hibbert), and they charged me $0.70 apiece for the two that didn't come with the food. With tax, that was $1.53 for two of them.

Do they have Krusty burgers with cheese?

I have those five and Marge

I've got Grampa, Apu, Dr. Hibbert, Maggie and groundskeeper Willie. I am so worried I won't get all of them before they finish this .

heh. the people working at burger king should be embarrassed for working at burger king.

Burger King doesn't carry nearly the respect that Mc Donald's does.

Now I'm up to 9 of the 15.

Burns, Apu, Hibbert, Flanders, Marge, Willie, Maggie, Milhouse and Grandpa. (Need Homer, Bart, Lisa, Krusty, Barnie and Skinner)

I have a weird feeling that Homer and Bart are more difficult to find, but why?

Anyway, I have extras. After the promotion is over, we should use this forum as a place to trade for those we don't have. I would happily exchange any extra I have for any that I'm missing. Anyone else in? (They're already being sold on eBay, and people are paying $5 and more... why, why, why?)

All of my extras are in the bag.

I hope some of you will be into trading.

I have exactly the same bunch that you have (except Flanders). That could be a good sign. Maybe they haven't started giving out the others yet. At least in the area.

Yaargh. That means I missed a week, because I only have six. But I got Bart just this week, which means that you might still have a chance at one.

So far:

Krusty the Klown (With the line unfortunately changed from "Tonight's show is really gonna SUCK... your blood" to "Tonight's Show s Gonna... BITE!)

Barney Bart Maggie Hibbert Apu

Anyone know when the promo ends?

I saw an ad for Shrek toys at Burger King last night...so I'm guessing it has ended or ends this week...or maybe they'll still give them out as long as they have supplies.

I think trading would be cool. I have the following figures to trade (all in the bag):

2 Apus 3 Barnies 5 Barts 3 Krusties 2 Flanders 1 Burns

I need (in the bag)

1 Hibbert 1 Maggie 1 Grandpa 2 Millhouses 2 Homers 2 Lisas 2 Willies 2 Skinners

I'm willing to do a straight trade with anyone that has something I don't... I'm trying to keep 2 of each, one in the bag and one to play with <grin>...

I'm buying 2 each from the 3 BKs in my area every day... So I am getting lots of dupes

I have a Krusty in the bag. I still need Skinner, Flanders, Bart, Homer and Lisa.

Anybody got an extra Flanders? I have a Krusty still in the bag to trade.

I got Homer, Lisa, and Skinner today. Yes, I have no life. Think they'll stop selling them tomorrow? Sincerely, Little Girl

It's going to be close. I'm missing Krusty, Bart and Barney, and just got back from a toy run to 3 Burger Kings - 2 of which had *nothing*. Shrek posters are going up, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are just plain out in the next few days.

I would also like to take this moment to note that Burger King is without a doubt the most consistently disgusting and badly-managed chain restaurant, absolutely the KMart of fast food, and if it weren't for this newsgroup, I would have never known about the Kids Meal toys to begin with.

Not that I want to take things to off-topic, but I'd like to second that. Anytime we've gotton a group order from Burger King at work (for our lunch break) there has always been some kind of mixup. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll get bought out by IRS Burger.

I agree, they're all poorly managed and staffed and for fast food, they're incredibly slow but their burgers are the best! The best thing is that since they always screw up my order, I can count on free food every time. Sincerely, Little Girl

If ever in Salt Lake for say, the 2002 Olympics, be sure to stop at Crown Burger (or any of the Greek family-owned burger chains). I'd match their burgers against any nation chain, anyday.

The best chain restaurant burgers on the planet are In and Out Burgers, but alas, they are only on the West Coast. Always hit it when in Vegas. BTW-Check out "Fastfood Nation", very cool book on the history of the fastfood restaurant and how it changed our culture. Not as good as "Baby's First Pop-Up" but interesting none the less.
