"Mentioned", as in...?

Yes, it's an OK set from 10 years back. Very nice minifigs and classic car design, but the amount of stickers is a put-off. Does it really need a special thread though? :hmpf:

I did know about this set but isn't it cool when you find a set you never knew existed?!

You are right this should be perfect for any town. It reminds me of a trip to Germany I went on - it was the first time I had seen a drive-thru! I just don't like the fact the only things that identify it as a McDonalds are the use of stickers.

Legoliner Pilot, you need to be more precise with your thread titles. They're either vague or misleading.

If you want to discuss the Macdonald's promotional sets, for example, then you should say so specifically in your thread title.

Thanks.

The last thing I need is overwieght figs in my town. :laugh: It was a nice set when it was relesed but now it's not that great. It's really lacking. The size of the building is :thumbdown:. McDonalds food is very expensive in Lego City! :tongue:

I have that set, was pretty cool, I liked the car and 100 dollar green printed tile :classic:

Now reasons why LEGO will probably not do a set like this again

- They have to pay some sort license fee or royalty for using Mc.Donald's brand and logo

- Mc.Donald's is a controversial food restaurant because of its food (meat sources, healthiness etc.)

- LEGO would not want to represent it in their products because of reason above

- They can always make a generic restaurant like they did in City Corner :thumbup:

Now Subway is much better :tongue::wink:

I'm almost 24 and this set came out when I was in 7th grade I think... so 12 years? :laugh:

I own three of these sets, they were $9.99 each. The McDonald's guy is sticker... ewww....

You need two to make a nice stand alone set, the car is way too small for anything today. The third I have somewhere still it it's box. Honestly I don't even remember where I put it, but I remember a candy melting on the box. :laugh:

Now I need to look for the third set! haha

I agree with everything you said there. I'm surprised Lego hasn't released a restaurant set yet for Lego City. Maybe they have, but I don't pay attention. :tongue:

I type this as I bight into a Subway Sandwich, by the way. :wink:

I own this set, but it hasn't been together in a while... and the stickered pieces are useless for MOCing besides a blatant MickeyD's MOC.

The car was nice though...

You bumped up a useless thread just to tell me this? :sceptic:

Watch who you accuse, I was not the one to bump this old thread, if you look the post before mine was an hour and 40 minutes before me. I was mearly contributing to an active thread.

Sorry about bumping up the old thread. I was searching for another post, saw this and forgot that I wasn't looking at recent posts... :grin:

And I've got a bit of a soft spot for McD's, since it helped feed my Lego habit for several years...
