+worstcaster Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You usually the toys in from the fast food chains aren't very god and there are multiple threads to that end. What was some of the best McToys people have seen? Over the winter McDonald's was giving away some descent toy cars. No major mechanical parts just sturdy plastic with rolled well.

+mpilchfamily Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I avoid mac toys and prefer to keep my cache and swag stash stocked with items of slightly better quality. Quote Link to comment
+trckey2 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 We usually try to use dollar store items for our swag. Or rubber ducks. We even started a series(3 so far) that revolves around dollar stores, called Swag Store. We plan on doing as many as we can. Quote Link to comment
+worstcaster Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yes, I realize most of it is junk. I'm just trying to see if anyone else came upon some that was kind of cool. There are already plenty of threads about the bad stuff. Quote Link to comment
zta174 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 We found a disposal camera in an ammo box that had 1 picture left. We figure it was used up by everyone finding the cache. We are getting it developed soon! Quote Link to comment
+trckey2 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 McToys? Usually while at a flea market I try to pick up old ones. And at garage sales. They are always better quality then new ones. Other wise I stay away from them Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm glad that Ronald has ceased distribution of his junk! Now if that corporation could take that saved revenue and teach their employees how to count back change, it would be a feather in their hat! Quote Link to comment
+simpjkee Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We found a disposal camera in an ammo box that had 1 picture left. We figure it was used up by everyone finding the cache. We are getting it developed soon! Some cache owners put those in their caches for cache finders to take their picture, but I think the idea is that the finders then leave the camera for the cache owner to develop the pictures and put on the cache page. If you haven't, it might be courteous to e-mail the owner and let them know you have it and that the camera was full. If they don't know, they eventually may end up wondering why someone 'stole' their camera. Quote Link to comment
+FloridaFour Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Best McToys that my kids actually kept are: Littlest Pet Shop, mini stuffed animals and Lego Race cars. All the movie character stuff gets tossed. Quote Link to comment
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 the old mc toys were alot nicer then anything that's out now. I love the old Bambi and Lion king toys. Quote Link to comment
+dirt_empire Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Right after I started getting into GeoCaching heavily I found a box of old toys. They were from a show called Monster Rancher, and ever since I've been using them as trade items. The all hold along the same lines with sturdy, one-piece mold, hard plastic shapes. They'd stand up to most anything and I've enjoyed trading with them so far. I plan on doing something of the like when I'm done trading out these. I plan on getting another set of toys like these, lining them up for a set of photos, and get a little creative after that. Everytime I trade one out I would edit the photo to include the GC code above the toy, that way in case someone came across my profile or saw these toys they could check out where it started out. A little convoluted but it would be much cheaper to do this that buy geotags for each individual toy. Quote Link to comment
ChefHazmat Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 the old mc toys were alot nicer then anything that's out now. I love the old Bambi and Lion king toys. I agree and actually still have some of those Bambi toys in a display box. Quote Link to comment
OperatorMike Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I had to get all of the MLP FiM Toys from McDonalds, I'm a 27 year old male. Shout out to fellow bronies Quote Link to comment
HiddenCaches.com Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not a big fan of McToys, but they are great for the little ones caching with you. I recently found an old Batman mctoy from like 1993 or something. Kinda cool in a way. Quote Link to comment
