Due to the experience from the previous badly-managed Hello Kitty promotion, McDonald's has implemented some guidelines to ensure that everyone would be able to get their Minions this time.

It seems that McDonald's has taken customers' feedback into consideration and created a "deferred fulfilment" website. This site is to allow fans who failed to get the toys during the promotional period to place an order with McDonald's for collection at a later date.
Do take note that the website will only come into effect from 25 July 2013 till 07 August 2013 and that the redemption will only be fulfilled in December.
Hopefully, this shall deter opportunists from buying the toys in bulk and causing insufficient stocks for genuine collectors.
From McDonald's Facebook page, there are many fans asking repetitive questions so I thought I might as well consolidate the most frequently asked questions here.

Happy Meals to get several different toys, up to a limit of 1 piece per
toy design, and a maximum of 9 designs per customer. Please note that
only payment by VISA or Mastercard is accepted. At the end of the
ordering process, we print out the confirmation form and present it
during redemption. Redemptions for the Happy Meal and toy voucher will
be held in the month of December, and more details will be disclosed at a
later date. Please note there will be no refunds or cancellations.
I hope that answer all queries!
Happy collecting!
