<p>I recently developed a little bit of a hyperfixation on this toy. He's an adorably terrible and doofy-looking toy of my Brainrot Comfort Character. Transformers Animated Blitzwing, that is. The problem? He was only released in French McDonald's for some unholy reason. This was a tragic event. He should belong to the people.</p> <p>I recently developed a little bit of a hyperfixation on this toy. He's an adorably terrible and doofy-looking toy of my Brainrot Comfort Character.

<p>Me and a friend on Discord both want this toy. They found a French site called leboncoin (a lot like eBay), and there are two listings for the toy on there. One is a single Euro, and one is about 5 Euro. Both fair prices. I'm sure he'll pop up more occasionally; according to the TFA superfan Keyan Carlile, the toy is really common in France. <a href="https://x.com/KeyanCarlile/status/1574837023172460545">[src]</a></p> <p>Me and a friend on Discord both want this toy.

<p>I'm sure he'll pop up more occasionally on that site and others. However, the only proxy service I found for that site that ships to the US has a shipping rate of 70 euro. That's pretty overpriced and I doubt the cost would actually be that much. I got my regular Animated Blitzwing from the UK through eBay and had to pay around 25 bucks to get it. That's still expensive, but more probable.</p> <p>I'm sure he'll pop up more occasionally on that site and others.

<p>So, what will I do instead? I'll ask around in some UK spaces, and ask for people to get in touch with me. It will be the most important quest of all time.</p> <p>So, what will I do instead?
