When you purchase a Big Mac separately or as a set, you will receive a random limited edition card to be used for the official Gundam mobile game, Mobile Suit Gundam Supreme Battle, currently launching in Mainland China. There are 12 card types in total and in addition to the consecutive 10 Gundams, there are special cards for the RX-78-2 Gundam, which is featured in Big Mac suit and Angus suit.

  1. I think we might need more than 2.3k article shares before Bandai Spirits notices that this needs to happen all over the world. They have the Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundam all over the shelves, so might as well sell them to Mcdonalds.
