I saw it more as a regular round deal; that puzzle would be crazy long for the Bonus Round. I could see it as a Jackpot Round or Mystery Round puzzle, IMO.
To clarify, on "VICTORY LAP": I just mentioned the Bonus Round usage of it before, because goodness knows how much this show likes to repeat similar puzzles. Not only that, but as duly noted by Andy in the recap threads, we seem to be a having a LOT of similar puzzles from 2 or 3 years ago, I'm hoping this follows suit.
Did I get the kids meal? I actually am watching some nephews over right now for the week (7; Michael and 6; Tim), so I decided to be nice to them and get them some Wendy's; so while they got the kids meals, I got the toys. I got to keep their toys, because I made the deal with them that if I could, each could pick out any one toy from FAO Schwartz tomorrow.
(With the way kids are now, they'll each pick the $900 giraffe or $1250 grizzly bear; which I'd oblige both of them on! Money is a non-issue, thank god, thanks to inheritance.)

Well, right now, I'm not in my hometown of Chicago. I'm vacationing and sightseeing in New York City. Right by the entrance to the Empire State Building was a Wendy's. After my family and I visited the Empire State Building, we headed over to that Wendy's and bought a couple of the toys - not even having to buy the kids' meal. The lady there was even kind to us to give us the bag, which I will scan once I get back to my Chicago home.
The two that I got were the Portable Game and the Toss-Up thing. I saw one of the values on some of those cards in the Toss-Up toy was $650, a value never seen on the wheel since 1979. How cool is that? ;D

 I was in NYC yesterday (I don't live too far away from there)! I checked a Wendy's nearby (near the corner of Broadway & East 4th Street) and they didn't have the toys either  . At least now I know there's one out there that does have them, and you don't have to buy the kids' meals to get them. How much did they charge you apiece, and why did you not buy all five? Hopefully I can go to that one, or at least another one that has the toys before the promotion's over. Having fun in the Big Apple, Will? |

I don't know how much they charged me for each toy, but as for why I got only those two, you'll slap your head and say, "No wonder!" Those were the only two toys they had. |

Well, my Wendy's finally has the toys! ;D I got two toys, the Toss-Up Game, and Wheel on the Go. They all have fun games you can play using the toys. One of them involves spinning the wheel, which has letters around the circumference, and looking for an object in the room that starts with the letter you landed on. Some wedges have more than one letter to choose from, such as "A or E" (I thought it said "A-E" at first). Of course, I also got three game pieces, but their puzzles have too much of RSTLNE to be a Bonus Round puzzle, in fact one of them is one of the ones Prizes has: TAKING A VICTORY LAP.  The bag also has a game on its side. There are seven consonants and three vowels listed (mine are RSTCNMDAEI). The object is to make as many words as possible using those letters. Below it, there are pictures of two prize wedges, the back of the Million Dollar Wedge, the three top dollar values, the $10000 Mystery prize, and the Jackpot wedge. I'll post pictures when I can. |

Even if we got the same thing, we could always both be winners, you know?
I got a new puzzle recently, but I think it's less likely as a puzzle.

My Wendy's still doesn't have them!  But I could do a whole lot with that R, S, T, C, N, M, D, A, E, and I... So far I came up with 56 words, bound to get more. I'll report back later. |

Well, according to the official rules, there are only 5 winning game pieces, which is one for each Bonus Round puzzle for the week. Besides, "TAKING A VICTORY LAP" would work best as a Round 4 or Round 5 puzzle, since they tend to use victory-themed puzzles at that time. |

Hey, I just got all five toys along with six game pieces. I got two "Wheels on the Go" in case you're wondering why I have six. ;D

Uh, I'm wondering whether or not to bring this topic back up, but I need some help. Does anyone still have a WOF Wendy's Kids Meal bag? I can't find mine, and the Wendy's near my house no longer has anything related to Wheel. I am going to check another Wendy's but my expectations are slim. |

I think they're stopping since their week is a total bust. ( Perhaps ? )

It wouldn't be because of that. The promotion for the cruises is over. They had their week.
Despite that, I found the bag, and to make matters even better, MarioGS told me he'll put shots of it for us soon.
