Did anyone else break and get a tie-in happy meal? What was your haul?

I don't eat fast food so much anymore, but I was very tempted to get a meal just for a pack of cards and give the food away. I was a little shocked when all of the YouTube personalities started buying up hundreds of meals! The last time that they did the promo with General Mills cereal I called dibs on the one pack that we got...Although, I was probably the only one who cared. LOL! It had a holographic Eevee! That was nice. I don't really collect any cards now, but I still have my old ones from when I was a kid. I will never get rid of my Ancient Mew. I love the graphics on it and it has some happy memories for me. Long ago, I was telling a good friend of mine that I was a little sad that I didn't get one from the theater and he was just like, "Here, take this one. I went with my brothers and we got a bunch of them." *sigh* Fun times.
Which cards did you get?

Right?? The kids I nanny are VERY into looking up rare Pokémon on eBay (their parents started that one, not me!), and they were telling me all about the insane prices resellers were touting after buying up the meals. It's unbelievable what people do during these promotions!
A holographic Eevee? Nice!! Eevees are easily one of my favorite Pokémon. I love your Ancient Mew anecdote, by the way-- what a sweet friend! That card really is one of the coolest out there.
I actually can't remember exactly what I got since I gave most of mine to my little sister, but I kept my holographic Litten, and a Charmander! I mostly just ended up keeping the stickers, haha. (Although, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of the Pikachu cards... LOL)
Out of curiosity, what was the first Pokémon card you ever remember having?

Ooo cool! Litten is cute and Charmander is classic...I think everyone probably wants one of those Pikachu. LOL!
The first card that I remember? Hands down, it has to be a bootleg Flareon. Haha! Behind my Dad's work there was a small corner store run by the sweetest little old lady and her husband. They sold bootleg Pokemon cards in paper packages for about 50 cents. Over time I ended up with like twelve of these faux Flareon and traded some of them for legit cards at school (...something I feel bad about now that I know better. Sorry guys!).
My friends were really generous with me. They would give me their extra common cards, energies, and items. Eventually, I got some regular packs of my own and a starter set for my birthday. The packs at the card shop that used to exist here would run out fairly regularly because everyone at the time was going crazy trying to get a holographic Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard. Personally, I never got a Charizard, but I was lucky to get both a Blastoise and Venusaur without buying a lot of packs.
To be honest, other than the Ancient Mew, the only other cards that I still want to keep are this set of promo Neo cards that my cousin bought me as a gift. They are really neat. It is a little plastic folder that has nine cards inside of it, three of which are holo. They are basically the three evolutionary stages of Chikorita, Cindaquil, and Totodile, but they are all in Japanese.
...Sorry, I feel kind of talkative right now.
