Promotion Mechanics
Customers receive one F1 collectible toy car with each purchase of a Happy Meal. Meal options include the Hamburger Happy Meal priced around $4.29 and the Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal ranging from $4.69 to $5.00, depending on the piece count.
The toy cars tie into the F1 movie theme, offering different models based on real Formula 1 cars. The toys are collectible and vary by design to encourage repeat purchases. No additional purchase is required to get the toy with a Happy Meal.
Packaging plays a major role in the value of these F1 car collectibles. Toys in sealed boxes or original blister packs are valued higher than loose toys.
The 2025 Happy Meal cars often have special inserts or cards describing the car and driver. These inserts add to the collectible appeal.
Collectors prioritize intact packaging, avoiding tears, creases, or fading. Clear plastic windows that showcase the toy without opening are especially prized.
Keeping packaging pristine helps maintain or increase the toy’s market value over time.

Could you please look into this issue? I would appreciate it if you could let me know how I can get the correct F1 toy.
