Well, seeing as there is no BS introduction thread, I figure I'll jump right in with some content. Hi, I'm new!

Ahem... anyways, a few days ago I picked up a complete McDonald playset at a garage sale for $20. It brings back such memories of partying with Captain Crook and The Professor. Memories that existed more then 10 years before I did.

The box isn't in great condition, but the set is OK. The train can slowly pull around the tracks, bringing delicious, if not slightly deadly, burgers to all the citizens! It even came with some McDonaldland stationary, complete with envelopes and seals. They knew how to make mail great back in the day. Unfortunately, the figures where not included with the set originally, but luckily the previous owners had bought the Ronald, Hamburglar and Officer Big Mac toys. All in all, an exciting find to think about while I plug my face with burgers.

Welcome Hexen! The best first post is one with content. Take some more pictures of the set and post them so we can see what went on in the dark days of 1976.

A quick follow up of the set.

Image
McDonaldland in all it's glory.

ImageImageImage
The figures in their resting places in my room. Big Mac is chilling with Donald Duck, Ronald is near some NES boxes, and the Hamburglar, who usually hangs out next to ROB had to be moved because that area was to shady to take a picture... have no fear, they are now reunited.

Image
These are the seals and stationary, along with a music sheet for "Mc Favorite Clown, Ronald McDonald's New Theme Song." I looked everywhere for the song, but it doesn't exist on the internet, so we had to re-create it in Mario Paint.

The Ronald McDonald doll looks like a serial killer while the Ronald McDonald on the post card looks like a registered sex offender.

Yeah, every character from the 70s looks like that.

I must admit, I am mildly interested in how the game works.
