Don't know if anyone saw this on ebay but there have a been a few of the happy meal collector's sets on sale the past few weeks. I saw this particular one last week, original unopened box , as a BIN for 99GBP and it didn't sell. I decided to look again this week and it was a regular auction....so to make a long story short, I figured I'd have a bid on this and try to win it for my birthday yesterday, which I did for only 22GBP (way under my max bid too)!!! Much less than they obviously wanted to sell it for. I cannot wait to get this and open it right up I hope it's the real thing and not just an empty box!! Fingers, toes and eyes crossed

Will post what is in the box when it finally arrives

Hi Stace, nice win.

I did have this on my watch list but I didn't fancy a fishy fight so I left it be.

What a great item and how cheap. You must be so pleased. I can't wait for it to arrive so you can post pics.

Thanks, Rach! I'm glad you didn't bid then

That would have added insult to injury, LOL

Great Birthday present Stace......since it was your birthday you deserved to get this cheap.....would love one of these myself so I am very happy for you.

That would have added insult to injury, LOL

That would have been awful

Glad you won yourself a nice birthday present Staci

Lucky you

Congratulations!!

Hmmm...what is this Happy Meal Anniversary set anyway?

Yonna,
It is supposed to be a limited addition set put out by McD's (now correct me if I'm wrong here) that was available to employees only (??) or did they actually sell them in the UK? I know they were released in 1998 for the smurfs 40th anniversary too

Rach has this on her site here ----> http://www.blueimps.com/mcdonaldspage.html

Well done Staci!

It's a lovely case!

It arrived today and it is PERFECT! I took pics but need to upload them from work so I will post them in a couple of days. How many of these were issued? Was it 1000 or 5000 or more? I can't seem to remember

I'm really happy for you Stace....this looks like a nice smurf piece to have in a collection and I am glad that it all worked out as well as you hoped. I hope to have one of these someday too.

Great pics Stace...I haven't seen the smurfs inside those compartments before....I'm with Gerda....it's listed on that never ending smurf list.

You've had a busy week

Lovely Stace, that is a very nice example of one and there can't be too many of them around still with the outer packaging.

Fab pics too.

Nice one Staci!
