A McDonald's spokesperson has also confirmed to Mothership.sg that they "currently do not have any plans" to bring additional stock into Singapore.

The holder, which was previously a McDonald's Japan exclusive, was available for S$6.90 with each purchase. A maximum of five of these could be bought at any time.
