McDonald's fans hoping to snag all six of the fast-food chain's collectible cups can skip the drive-thru and buy them online - if they're willing to fork over $100 on eBay.

The restaurant's limited-edition Collector's Meals come with cups featuring designs inspired by Barbie, Hot Wheels, Beanie Babies, Coca-Cola, Hello Kitty, Peanuts, Shrek, Jurassic Park, Minions, and McDonald's itself.

The meal prices vary, though the price tag for a Collector's Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal in the Orlando area was just under $10, Fox 32 reported.

On eBay, sellers have listed the collectors' items with staggering markups of $80 to $100 - with more than one person trying to fetch $150 for all six cups.

McDonald's began offering the cups in participating locations on August 13.

Each is based on more than one past collectible cup, including the Grimace and Pet Lovin' Barbie mugs McDonald's released in 1976 and 1999, respectively.

'There's an undeniable thrill when you snag that one elusive McDonald's collectible or the final piece to complete your collection,' Morgan Flatley, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of New Business Ventures at McDonald's, said in a news release.

'These new collectible cups commemorate some of our most unforgettable designs and global collaborations over the years, allowing longtime fans to relive treasured moments and helping a new generation make their own lasting memories.'

McDonald's began offering the limited-edition cups in participating locations in over 30 countries on August 13

Despite high prices on the resale market, some on social media took issue with the cups' quality.    

A TikTok user known as Miss. B went viral last week after she compared the collectibles with two of its previous mugs.

'How did we go from the nice, heavy, engraved glass to this... I'm so disappointed' she said.

More than one commenter opted not to get a cup after the review.

'I was excited at first then I realized they weren't like the glasses from our past so I'm not even going to waste my time tracking them down,' the user wrote.

Another person added:  'I was just about to go to McDonald's to get one. This has changed my mind. Thank you, kind internet stranger.'
