Wondering how much these cups will resell for in the future? Take a look at eBay listings for "rare McDonald's Happy Meal toys" to get an idea. Judging from the popularity of the Grimace Birthday Meal, we know how much of a hit the Collector's Meal will be even for resale.
"These new collectible cups commemorate some of our most unforgettable designs and global collaborations over the years, allowing longtime fans to relive treasured moments and helping a new generation make their own lasting memories," said Morgan Flatley, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of New Business Ventures at McDonald's.
