Yesterday Nancy and I did a craft show at St. Mary’s to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. On my way there I stopped off at McDonald’s for some delicious, nutritious food. I was soooo excited to see the current Happy Meal toys! I am a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan!! I am such a big fan that I am probably the only person on the planet who doesn’t like the story WICKED. How could anyone mess with such a wonderful story? I love the Broadway show, I just don’t buy the story.
Anyway, I just had to have EVERY SINGLE ONE of these toys! Guess what? I got them all! And I only had to go to 3 different McDonald’s! No, I didn’t have to buy a Happy Meal to get each toy…did you know that you can just buy the toy? They range in price from $1 to $1.50 each.
Now, here is my dilemma…While I was Googling to find a photo to put with this post, I was led to eBay. Even though these are current toys that are plentifully available, they are already selling on eBay for two times more than what I paid for them!
So, leave me a comment and let me know what your opinion is on what I should do with them. Here are the choices:
1) Sell them on eBay
2) Leave them in the packages and don’t sell them yet, but sell them one day
3) Open them up and have at it! Play, play, play!!!!
My personal choice is #3. What’s yours? (C’mon! Look at those flying monkeys and the lollipop kid!)
(BTW… I also have the entire Wizard of Oz Barbie collection along with the Kelly doll Munchkins. I also have the Polly Pocket version of the Emerald City. Yes, I love T.W.O.O!)
Ha ha! Jon took he kids to McD’s today and Olivia got the one with the purple hat and flower. I couldn’t figure out what in the world it was. I am still not quite sure what character she is though. I think you should go get another set. One to sell and one to keep.
