Hello Kitty Trishaw Uncle

McDonalds has just launched the set of SG50 Hello Kitty plush toys online last week. The set, priced at S$80, consist of 6 Hello Kitty soft toys, one limited edition Singapore landscape booklet and 6 S$5 Extra Value Meal vouchers. GST and delivery fee included. The 6 Hello Kitty are namely, the Trishaw Uncle, SG50 Parade, McDonald's Crew, Orchid Lover, Durian Lover and Samsui Woman.

I'm only interested in the Trishaw Uncle, SG50 Parade and Samsui Woman. So I did not get the set online, but to attempt to get in-store, provided that the queue is not that horribly scary. 

Today is the first day of sale in-store for the Hello Kitty Trishaw Uncle. When I reached at 10.59am, there was a queue outside the outlet. I went to take a look and it's about 20 people long. With 4 to 5 counters inside, I decided to queue and get my lunch. 

In the queue, we were issued the order form (the staff will mark our order on the form) and a collectible ticket. 

After about 15 minutes, it's my turn to order. The cashier was confused at the order form. Made me think that it's pretty redundant since I have to repeat my order again. 

The whole process wasn't that scary as compared to my last Hello Kitty queue. And I had heard from friends that they did not need to queue. Maybe next kitty, I will go when it's about 12? Before lunch crowd comes, after first queuers gone? 

Haha... Just saying...

Here's my Kitty.

Nice graphic from the McDonald's website.

And... here's my baby model

McDonalds SG50 Hello Kitty Collectors' Set can be ordered online via (ends 29 July or while stocks last: https://onlinestore.mcdonalds.com.sg/

Hello Kitty merchandises these 2 months

Is the Hello Kitty craze back? Recently it seems like there are alot merchandises using Hello Kitty.

I like the idea of the ez-charm. It's very convenient since I always have my phone in hand. And when I babywear, it's a little difficult to dig into my bag for my card. That's why I always ergo as there is a small pocket in front. But I feel bad for my baby for her uncomfy back. 

Anyway, will there be a chance for other designs soon? I'm not a pure Hello Kitty fan. I would like to get a Winnie the Pooh design and also my sister's favourite Stitch. Haha.

Singtel :: Singtel Prepaid Hello Kitty

http://hellokitty.singtel.com/

Singtel is promoting their prepaid service with Hello Kitty. Simply top up $20 to your prepaid card in the 4 methods listed in their page, and you will be eligible to redeem all 4 designs. One specific design for each method.

If you, like me, do not own one, by purchasing a $20 prepaid card, you will be able to redeem a purple 4G Hello Kitty toy. 

The toys are redeemable at their event from 8-10 May 2015 at Marina Square.

But is it just me or does anyone find it a little funny that one has got to top up a total of $80 to get all 4 designs and the credit has to be used in 6 months? Unless the user makes alot of calls in the 6 months before the credit expires.

Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies - #5 The Singing Bone

The last Hello Kitty of the McDonald's Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies is officially on sale today. However, all Hello Kitty The Singing Bone plushies are sold out even before it's 12 midnight. Sold out on Wednesday before it is officially on sale on Thursday.

People started queueing on Wednesday evening before 8pm at outlets that are opened 24hours. And McDonald's decided to give out coupons to those in queue, the number of coupons = the number of dolls. So technically, even before it's 11pm, most of the places were already out of stock.

These are NOT mine. Credits to Friend's fren.

For those outlets that opens in the morning, people were already queuing outside the shop after McDonald's closed their doors to end the day. Overnight queuing.

We KPO went to Lot 1's outlet to check out the queue. Lot 1 outlet opens in the morning.

Yep, we attempted to queue. Reached at 1145pm. And we are FAR FAR FAR away from the counter. We queued for about 30minutes before going back. The staff came over to say no more coupons... and I think we are queued 200% behind the people with coupons. Sighs..

While queuing, we saw alot of things. Since the place we went to has drive thru, people were queuing in their cars, thus, leading to a traffic holdup. And since it's near a junction, can you imagine how dangerous it is? And cars are trying to cut into the queue by squeezing the inner lane cars. We saw alot of almost scratch kind. And best of all, there was a police car trying to go out... But stuck. Even when the policeman came down to make the 2nd lane cars go off, they did not move off, stubbornly waited for a chance to cut in...

Can you see the police car? It can't move. Even sounding the siren, nobody moved.

And... if you go McDonald's Singapore Facebook or ebay or anywhere, people are busy selling at high price from their loot. Damn irritating. But I love this... THUMBS UP for the prankster.

Kenna plucked! Yay...

Sighs.... Now I'm one kitty short for the series. Just great.

The plushies are available at $4.60 each with any Extra Value Meal purchased Sold Out. Different Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies are for sale each week.

Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies - #4 The Ugly Duckling

I am lucky to be able to get the forth Hello Kitty from the Hello Kitty Fairy Tales series: The Ugly Duckling. One more to complete the set.

McDonald's Singapore finally made an announcement last night. To limit each customer to buy a maximum of 4 Hello Kitty in one transaction. Like finally... Everyone was complaining about not able to buy the Hello Kitty: The Ugly Duckling as early at 7am in the morning in some places. And complaining WHY some people are able to buy 11 Hello Kitty: The Ugly Duckling at one go. I am one of the complaining people, as I am unhappy people snap up many Hello Kitty dolls for SALE, to earn profit.

While queuing to get my Hello Kitty: The Ugly Duckling, there are two late teen girls. Both queuing side by side in two counters. The one behind me, G1, was getting on my nerves.

G1: (very loudly) Every week come eat McD with you will get fat.
G2: (murmur reply)
G1: (very loudly) Do you think I should buy a Hello Kitty to sell? Online sell $20-$50. I can sell like $20. People will buy. You think I should?
G2: Don't want la. Like very jek ark
G1: (very loudly) I think I SHOULD (and she bought like 3?)

Please people. Some of us just wants to collect a series and not to sell for profit. And yet we have to queue and fight for a chance from you people. Keep this kind of thoughts to yourself. It's disheartening to see sellers have so many stocks while collectors are without one. And stop posting your kitty sale on McDonald's Facebook page. Go somewhere else. McDonald's Singapore had already requested you guys to stop doing such a thing from the earlier kitties.

One more to go. The Singing Bone. Hopefully I am able to get this.

Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies - #3 The Frog Prince

Today is the launch of the third Hello Kitty The Frog Prince from the Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies.

I've gotten mine after visiting two different McDonalds. The McDonalds website kinda lied to us that the outlet at Trade Hub 21 is opened 24hours. But when we were there, the notice put up told us a different story. They are only opened from 11am to 8pm. Maybe it's time for them to update accurate information on their website. And we were not the only ones cheated of our time.

But in the end, we found our Frog Prince. And they didn't provide curry sauce for my nuggets or any sauce for everything... sighs...

And here's our frog prince

Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies

This morning's hype: The launch of the new Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies by McDonald's.

Guess who's here? Photo from McDonald's Facebook

I'm not a true blue (or should it be pink?) Hello Kitty fan, but when Mcdonald's once a while launches a series of collectible, I would always be drawn to a few of the plushies from the series. I like the Lion kitty from the Wizard of Oz. The Ugly Duckling kitty looks cute too. Little Red Riding Hood too... All so cute! So tempting~
