SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The overnight queues that used to sprout up when McDonald's released new limited edition toys here were nowhere to be seen on Thursday (Sept 8), when the fast-food giant launched its Pikachu carrier.

Short queues began to form at some restaurants about 30 minutes to an hour before the 11am launch, though McDonald's employees had put up queue poles as early as two hours prior in anticipation of crowds.
