The Popular Happy Set: Why Is It So Hard to Buy? 🍔📲
There's a frenzy surrounding McDonald's Happy Sets these days! 😅 Especially for the super popular 'Pokémon' Happy Set, the journey to purchase one is proving quite difficult. I was truly surprised when I heard this news! 😥 Let's take a look together at what restrictions are in place and why this situation is occurring.
Hello everyone! Today, I've brought you news about McDonald's Happy Sets that many of you are showing great interest in. 🍔🍟 Happy Sets, which always become a hot topic due to collaborations with popular characters, have recently become difficult to purchase, according to what I've been hearing. When I heard this news, I immediately thought, 'Oh, why?' and became curious.
The Star of the 'Sell-Out Frenzy': The Pokémon Happy Set!
Have any of you tried to buy the 'Pokémon' Happy Set at McDonald's? 🙋♀️ According to a report from Yomiuri Shimbun Online, this Pokémon Happy Set is so popular that a 'sales restriction' was implemented from the very beginning of its release. Isn't that surprising? 😮
Specifically, right after its release, the number of sets per person was limited to 'up to 3 pieces.' Not only that, but on the first day of release, orders via smartphone or delivery were 'not possible,' meaning people had to purchase them in person at the store. 😥
Why Was the Sales Method Changed? 🤔
According to news from Yahoo! News, this change in sales method is intended as a 'countermeasure against resale (scalping).' 👏 It seems to be a measure to prevent people from buying popular items in bulk and reselling them at a higher price.
In particular, starting on the 12th, ordering Happy Sets via smartphone will be 'temporarily suspended.' Honestly, I never imagined it would be this difficult to buy just one Happy Set.
How Has the Purchase Method Changed? 📍
So, how can we purchase Happy Sets from now on? 📰 Starting on the 12th, orders will only be possible 'in-store' and 'at the drive-thru.' Online orders and app-based orders will be unavailable for the time being. 🚗💨
This change in sales method, as I mentioned again, appears to be a strong measure to prevent 'scalping.' While such measures might be a bit inconvenient for consumers when it comes to popular character merchandise, it might have been an unavoidable choice to provide fair purchasing opportunities.
What Are Your Thoughts?
What do you all think about this change in McDonald's Happy Set sales method? 🤔 Personally, I always want to buy merchandise of characters I like, so it's a bit disappointing that it's become so difficult to purchase them. 🥺 However, I also understand the efforts to prevent resale and allow more people to buy at the original price.
Have any of you tried to purchase these Happy Sets? I would be truly grateful if you could share your experiences in the comments! 😊
A Warm Closing
The journey to buy popular items can sometimes be challenging, but I hope that fair opportunities are given to all of us. 😊 I hope it becomes a little easier to purchase McDonald's Happy Sets in the future! 👍
That's all for today's news. I'll be back with more interesting stories next time! Thank you! ✨
