The Neopets Toys just came into Burger King yesterday. I got one, and redemed the code on neo. I got a Altador Kite, but it's no trade! Apparently there's diffrent prizes for Canada and the US too. Each toy also comes with stickers, and the box folds into a mini diorama of a Neopian world.

You know, I'm surprised Neo decided to do this through BK this time. They've gone through McDonalds (twice?) before, and it seems like they'd get more business through it. Hmmm.
I'd like to go, but after some complaints on my guild about getting the meal in a normal BK bag (the codes are on special Neopets bags) and having to go complain at the counter, and the workers not knowing what they're talking about.... Yeeeahh no. Not to mention I'm not sure where a BK is around here o.O *looks it up* Kinda far... *ponder*
Edit: XD The Jubjub has an afro. Chomby's cute though! Wish it was yellow, not a big fan of red Chombies...

Every pet comes in four colours, so there's probably a yellow one.
In Canada they come on the box the toy comes in. I guess I can just go and buy all the toys now.

Yeah, I'm kinda bummed they didn't work with McD's again. I actually would eat at McD's from time to time - not a big BK fan.

They're different colors for different pets. I think the BK page shows what's out there.
And lucky that they're on the boxes for yall. Stinks for us that you hafta get a kids meal. Sometimes, fast food restaurants won't let you buy a kids meal if you don't have kids with you. Never did figure that one out, but yeah...
I'm looking forward to the items dropping in price quickly so I can buy some of 'em.

I myself started playing Neo from McD promotion. So, seeing BK come up with the Neo toys, I was very excited because I like BK more than McD, though I rarely go to any of those places now.
So, I went to the nearby BK yesterday, and found that they have not started offering the Neo toys - instead they are giving some Indiana Jones ones. I then went to one BK quite far, and got a Neo toy - unfortunately they did not have the special Neo "Packets", so I did not get the code. Aargh!
Add to that BKs are hard to find, and most kids are already on school, I am more or less certain that this promotion will not be as effective as the last one.

Yesterday I went to Bk and I got a kid's meal. I got a toy, stickers, a sort of activity book, but no kids meal bag. I guess because I was an adult, they put the meal in an adult bag.
I don't think I'll be buying any more kids meals after this, because I don't want to make a stink over a bag.

They never have anything like that in Engalnd, it's unfair.

I wonder how much the backgrounds will sell for? I really like this one background of a Meridell Stone Wall with a door. I like the rest of the backgrounds too. At first I thought lots of people would be getting these, so the price would be pretty affordable for people wishing to buy some if anyone had extras to sell. But now I am thinking lots of people are experiencing getting no bag with their meal.

I'd hold out on it - at least for a little while - the prices of all the BK items are dropping. I think I started seeing the totems on Saturday for like, 250k and now they're running around 12k. I've seen some of the backgrounds drop from 700k to 225k since then as well. The more that are available, the more the prices will drop. After all, it's only technically the 3rd day of the promo.
ETA: Looks like the Canada code items either haven't been activated, or just no one from Canada has redeemed 'em yet. There's a lot that are quite similar between the US and Canada versions.
Example:
there is a Faerieland Gazebo Background (US version)
and a Faerieland Garden Background (Canada version)
Been doing a little price checking (haven't looked at every item, but most), and here's what I've found:
For US code items:Backgrounds (depending on the one) range from buyable to about 400k --
these are wearableBooks are averaging around 30k
Wooden stuff is pretty buyable (around 15k-30k for a lot of 'em) --
these are wearableGarlands are pretty much buyable, some as low as 10k --
these are wearableCrowns are borderline buyable --
these are wearableOther items...not sure.
smudgeoffudge, you might look at the Meridell Entrance Background, which is the US counterpart to the Meridell Stone Wall

Oh, LOL.
Missed that part in your first post. That would explain it, though! Hopefully they get that fixed soon!

I got the toy, but since I didn't get the kid's meal, I didn't get a code. o_o;;
But now I have a White Kougra that can join my plastic Jimmy Neutron. XD

Ugh. My local BK is terrible. I got 2 of the exact same toy... and the kid's meal came in bags without codes. Poor planning on everyone's part to put the codes on the bag -- if you bought the toy, that is where the code should be. I'm really disappointed. Fast food isn't my favorite... but I was in a hurry at lunch and figured I'd try again for dinner. Next time, I stick to my diet and make something healthy.

Well, I am not going back to BK, but today I bought a yellow crown that I paid WAY too much for. It isn't a jester hat, but it is pretty good. Eventually I want him to look sort of like this:
