BTW, why do so many people sign their names at the bottom of posts? I mean, isn't the avatar on the left and the name printed above it enough?

I wanted to make sure that the actual content of the post was less than my signature at the bottom :P

Adding my sig is a habit I've picked up from other places. I do that on every message board and usenet forum that I post on.

Well, you've clearly shown people can't be relied on to type other's name's correctly, so I guess you better do it yourself ;-)

looks like you can pick up a set for $8...lol....might be cheaper than buying them at McD's for those of you who want them...

Thanks for the tip, Mock. Buying them off of E-bay will save me a couple trips to McDonalds.

I got AiAi's Banana Catch the other day, and it's not bad. Banana's fall, and you move left/right to catch as many as possible. If you catch 30, you move on to the next (faster) level. I think there's three levels in all, and the only way you can lose is if you miss 10 (!) bananas on a level... so as long as you're able to catch 3/4's of the banana's that fall, you're okay. This makes it a little easy, but often it'll put two bananas on the same line, so it actually gets really hard to catch both of them when the speed gets fast. Harder than the Sonic Action Game, but didn't seem to last as long.

By the way, the bag I got wasn't nearly as good as the one you showed... my bag had the same Sonic/AiAi picture on it, but it was plain white paper and had no handle.... Is this the Canadian version or something? I kept it anyways, but I was a little disappointed.

every mcdonalds is an independant franchise, so they all make their own decisions on what they will carry and how they will price things. Happy Meals can come in bags or boxes, its a crap shoot

My six-pack arrived today, so I now own one of each. The seller even included a nice thank you note. I may buy another set just so I have one to play and one to open! :D

Same guy. I paid instantly, so he probably shipped same day or Saturday. Hmm, let's see - Tony's postmark on the box says July 3rd - yup, last Thursday. :)

Yeah, mine arrived yesterday.

I still kinda wish he had e-mailed a confirmation ahead of time. Don't sellers usually do that? It gives me warm fuzzies and lets me know things are underway.

nah - most sellers don't have time to email you unless they are using some sort of automated software that does it for them...you can usually just look at the feedback and if it's a high number, i don't worry about it for a while...i've been pretty lucky about ebay and only had a couple of bad experiences so far...majority of the people on there are ok.
