I don't know that there are pricing guides for just McDonalds... so you might have to search for pricing guides for Fast Food and Cereal Premiums. One thing to consider is the actual characters that you have, wether or not htey are still in their packages, and how rare they are. Some may be more important or valuable than others based on the popularity with collectors.
Some examples of highly sought after premiums are:
The Hello Kitty World Cup reversible plushes still in their baggies. The set can get you $50 or more.
Vintage McDonalds character dolls sets in Mint or Excellent condition can get you $75 or more if you have rare items like Mayor McCheese or the Captain character.
If, however, you are referring to more current items, you really have to be on the up and up on what's popular not only with kids, BUT collectors at the same time. For example, while a cartoon character is popular with kids, it may have no potential in the collector's market. An example of good premiums to save would be the Madame Alexander dolls as sets, Neopets, etc (all still in their bags). An example of bad premiums are the American Idol toys, the fact that Wendy's only gives out PC or CD-ROM games (boring, because not all kids may have computer access), or similarly bland items. Good Luck on your search and remember, if you are really positive that you have something rare and collectible, you can get with an appraiser that specialisez in collectibles from pop culture OR for free, you can reach out to collector clubs or groups on the internet that favor specific characters or items you may already have. :-)Where to find out how much mcdonalds happy meal toys are worth?
My mother used to collect some of the McDonald's happy meal toys. One year for her birthday or Mother's day, I got her a price book specifically for McDonald's toys. I found it at Barnes %26amp; Noble. That was a few years back, I don't know if it is still available or if they have updated it since. Good luck. JM
