McDonalds Shrek Forever After Toys 2010

McDonalds Shrek Forever After happy meal toys hit McDonalds restaurants throughout Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa on 17 June 2010. The 6 week happy meal toy promotion which is in time for the Shrek 3D movie lasts until 28 July 2010. The Shrek toy premiums are part of a global promotion being rolled out by McDonalds together with DreamWorks Animation which began in the USA on 14 May.


The Australasian Shrek Forever After toys vary from the North American release in several ways. Firstly only some of the characters in this Pacific region set are the same as their US and Canadian counterparts (Rumpelstiltskin, Little Wooden Puppet Pinocchio, Three Little Pigs). Secondly the Australia and New Zealand set is larger containing 10 talking character-themed toys instead of only 8 as in the North American release. The 2 additional toys are the Brogan and Dragon figures. Read more about the US release of the McDonalds Shrek Forever After happy meal toys.

Each toy in the Shrek Forever After set featuring the lovable green ogre says several signature phrases from the 3D movie. Included in the McDonalds Shrek Forever After promotion for 2010 are the following set of 10 happy meal toys:

How Much are Sanitarium Super Flyers Cards Worth?

• Typically standard Super Flyers cards sell for about $1.00-$2.50 each depending on the popularity of the player. Expect to pay $5.00 for any of the 5 Legend Super Flyers cards.
  
  
• The short supply of the Super Flyer albums has overly inflated the price of the album on the collector's market. I saw one empty Super Flyers album sell for $72 on Trademe. The album is currently worth about $25 minus cards and about $70 with a full set of 50 cards.

Where Can I Find Out More About Super Flyers?
Sanitarium run an excellent Super Flyers website that is worth a visit. Not only can you play Stat Attack online with your Super Flyers cards by entering the unique code on the card you can also visit the gallery for pictures of the cards for each team.
