Ender Hypersonic May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 HOSEH LIAO! Sure got 2 grown men fight over the farking soft toy cat again. The violence that these toys cause in our history during the year 2000, including riots and injuries. Need to standby Ang Chia. Source: http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_458_2005-01-11.html Timeline 1 Jan : McDonald's began its 40-day promotion of Hello Kitty toys, dressed in wedding costumes of different cultures, with its Extra Value Meals. First fight between a doctor and three others erupted because of the promotion. 2 Jan : First report of long queues totalling about 250, 000 to 300, 000 customers, for the soft toys. 6 Jan : Release of Hello Kitty pair in Malay wedding dress. 13 Jan : Seven people in a queue at the Boon Keng Road outlet were injured when a glass door shattered. The glass door was unable to withstand the weight of those pushing against it. The toys in Korean wedding dress were released. 25 Jan : McDonald's announced that these outlets ceased selling the toys: Singapore Turf Club, Chinatown Point and Clementi, next to the NTUC FairPrice supermarket. Sales at its drive-thrus were already stopped. More than 130 security personnel were hired by McDonald's to patrol its outlets. 27 Jan : Six people were arrested. Three men arrested at the Bangkit Road outlet for rioting. Three other men arrested for disorderly conduct at the Bedok Reservoir, Lion City Hotel and Lot 1 Shopper's Mall outlets. The toys in Japanese wedding dress were released. 28 Jan : 64 more Cisco guards were added to control unruly crowd behaviour at 24 McDonald's outlets. 1 Feb : McDonald's began a new voucher system for the toys. Vouchers were sold to those who wanted to buy the Chinese pair. Customers could buy as many vouchers and collect the dolls in July when announced by McDonald's. The announcement came with a public apology and a $1 redeemable voucher against any McDonald's purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingenius Turbocharged May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 (edited) I saw some of these toys at salvation army store! during the craze then, one hello kitty toy can fetch like few hundred dollars even up to $888 (if i remember correctly), and last time money was big hor. i thnk nowadays with toys aplenty and whataver, i doubt hello kitty has any attraction liao la.

Sosaria Turbocharged May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 So will we be expecting the craze again??? It starts today!!! We, who are old enough to remember it (the first craze) Was it like more than 10 years ago?? I think it will be worse nowadays, the reaction of people collecting these items. More than 10 years ago, when people were more courteous and polite, and less overcrowded than today - there were already fights over the kittys... Fast-forward to today's more badly-behaved public... can we expect worse?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 Same size as the last time one? But i find the black hello kitty very weird, cause how come hello kitty got black colour? Radiated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 ya lor. waste money, buy cos everyone buying...then just put one corner n become WHITE ELEPHANT. Buy car better. At least can arrive in comfort and contribute to congestion. Buy cat, contribute to anger, food wastage. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
