McDonald’s Japan ends Pokemon card Happy Meal promotion early amid reports of food wastage, scalping

Happy Meals cost slightly more than 500 yen (S$4.35) per set, with an order limit of five meals per person during the Pokemon promotion.

However, this did not appear to deter some buyers, who reportedly circumvented the limit by using multiple mobile accounts to place orders.

The cards have been put up for sale on e-commerce platforms for several times the price of the meal.
