McDonald’s has released a unique collector’s item ahead of McHappy Day to help raise money for its Ronald McDonald House Charities.
The fast food restaurant will release Macca’s Makers, a 56-piece limited-edition brick building set, on November 8.
The blocks allow Aussies to make a replica Macca’s restaurant, including the famous Golden Arches, a McCafe, playground, drive through, front counter and staff figurines.
Aussies can purchase the set from any McDonald’s restaurant or through online delivery for $36.95, with all the profits going to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
“McHappy Day has been part of our customers’ lives for the past 31 years and we continue to be blown away by their support for the fundraiser and Ronald McDonald House Charities,” Amanda Nakad, the director of marketing for McDonald’s Australia, said.
“This year, we are excited to give fans, who love to express their passion for the brand, the opportunity to collect an iconic Macca’s item while helping to raise funds for a cause very close to our hearts.
“So, get ready to build your own Macca’s restaurant with Macca’s Makers, but make sure you are quick, as they are sure to sell out fast.”
Customers can also pick up a pair of Silly Socks for $5.95 or Helping Hands for $2, $10 or $50 to help contribute to the charity.
On McHappy Day, which is on November 18, $2 is donated from every Big Mac sold in the store or via McDelivery.
It comes as McDonald’s temporarily removed a popular beverage from its menu, replacing it with an alternative in a move that angered some fans.
Popular food blogger Russ Eats revealed orange juice was no longer on sale in a video shared to social media. In its place is an “orange fruit drink”.
A McDonald’s Australia spokesperson confirmed to news.com.au the fruit drink substitution (thankfully) isn’t a permanent change.
