EXPLANATION

Dear visitors,

I'd like to explain why new posts are not being published since over a year.

The reason is not on my side. I do my best to contact countries I still haven't received anything from. I'm sending e-mails, I call the offices but with no result.
I still expect some new stuff from countries in Mezoamerica but as I said I only expect. I'm keeping in touch with the proper persons.

Currently in my collection are 90 countries. Other 28 countries with McDonald's are specific markets and there are not operates lots of restaurants. The Caribbean region even use the same advertising materials but as you can see it is event hard to receive it....There are also countries that have never responsed like Macau, Sri Lanka, Peru...

However my collection is still open and I'll never give in!

My goal is to collect at least one item from every McDonald's market.

Regards,

Your McCollector

Dear!

Today on the 19th of December I have received a FedEx from McDonald's Venezuela.
I have been trying to receive Venezuelan stuff for so long. Finally I'm able to add Venezuela to my collection - it was worth waiting. I have been provided with a great collection of advertising materials.

I added exactly 20 different items.

Thank you Venezuela!

New countries expected

Hello!

After a break that has been lasting for over 6 months I can finally inform that new countries are expected. For sure new advertising materials will come from Nicaragua and Honduras and I expect them to be received in the beginig of 2008, January or February.
That's not all becasue there are next four countries expected: Guadeloupe, French Guiana and El Salvador. McDonald's Guadeloupe has already confirmed that will send its advertising materials but as to El Salvador, I am still waiting for confirmation.

Venezuela and Pakistan have confirmed sending their advertising materials.

I'm so glad that things go forward and even more gald that I managed to establish contacts in Latin America/Caribbean because it is minority in my collection.

My goal never changes: collecting at last one item from every McDonald's market and never give in!

Marcin
