I figured a “Bionicle” from the future was possibly worth coral of the past. I clearly had no insight to the item’s street value. Thanks for the tip, Pal.
The more I think about this, (while I am still wondering why you didn’t throw this kid up against the wall and say “Give It Back NOW!” or strong arm his parents), I realize too that he is just a 4 year old child, and he was just trading. He left his most precious item that he remembered to bring to the museum with him for a visit, in place of a fossil. That is pure innocence. I wonder if his parents are wondering where his transformer is? Probably not. And then again maybe he stole the transformer and they never knew he had it in the first place. Cunning little kid if you ask me
Wait a minute - that is no McDonald’s Transformer - that is a “Jingle All The Way” toy! His parents fought to get that for Santa to give him for Christmas. They are pissed!

Whoa, you didn’t say that it was a Happy Meal version of a Lego Bionicle figure.
You totally got shafted.

Oliver has one of these that he carries around sometimes. At least its eyes light up when you push a button.

I noticed the eye light up action. I was hoping that would have upped its value for the hot eBay auction.

I am sure that if I am ever a social worker in Cincy, that little lad will be on my caseload.
