BrickEconomy Member Review
“Despite its small size, it features a drive-through with a printed menu, a compact restaurant, and a little car for the customer. While the interior is simple, the exterior details, like the iconic McDonald’s signs and outdoor seating, bring the set to life. Overall, it's a great find.”
BrickEconomy Member Review
“This McDonald's Restaurant set is a rare gem for collectors, featuring a simple but nostalgic design. The set includes a red and white car, a minifigure with a stickered torso, and a compact McDonald's restaurant complete with outdoor seating and fun details like a drive-through sign and McDonald's flags with nice touches like a cash register and drink dispensers inside the restaurant.”
