    If you haven't already been down to the newsagents, or better still WHS, then don't delay. Today's free set is this cool microlight.

    Monday's snowman is indeed 30008, so the BrickList is now complete.

I can not get the microlight today. What a shame....

Had WHS run out? You need to get there early!

My TRU still had hundreds left at 1pm.

My local WHS which is tiny had two huge boxes of microlites this morning and that was @8:40am

Daily Mirror in Ireland has the promotion as well. Strangely though this time collection is from Tesco, not Smyths.

My local WHS had run out around 15.00 today.

Missed the microlight :( but in my opinion that was the worst one. Is anyone buying the Daily Mirror for the promo actually going to read it? I'm planning on using it when changing out my hamster's cage:). No good for anything else!

@Huw, in the end i got it!! One left! How close was that?

I got mine early this morning and its not that bad. It has some useful pieces like the t-shirt and the wings. Its so simple to make a much better model by just taking the wheels off and swapping the wings round and having them pointed like an arrowhead - its a one-man hovercraft!

@voyanui8768, thats very clever!

Got one... although unlike some other lucky (or sneaky?) fellows on here, my newsagent was a bit more diligent and stamped the token (so no extra models for me). lol.

Well, sunday's promotion for the police boat was a bust... tried both WHS in my area, both closed! So i couldn't even get the paper for the token. I don't think they've ever been closed before... did anyone else have this problem? Shame, i was hoping to grab the boat-cop.

Posted by Markey in Belgium, 24 Oct 2010 11:00

@Legomatt - Yes, my local WHS was closed as well, I had to drive 12 miles to Oxford :(
But at least, they didn't cross out my vouchers, so I managed to get two for each news paper.

@legomatt - The voucher from Sunday's Mirror newspaper says that if your local WHSmith is closed on Sunday then you can claim the Sunday Lego set on Monday (providing that you still have the voucher from Sunday of course).

Posted by legomatt in United Kingdom, 25 Oct 2010 02:38

@NM: Thanks for the advice guys, unfortunately with my newsagents being closed, i didn't get the paper, so I didn't get the voucher - i never thought about them accepting the voucher on another day. Oh well, never mind, we win some, we lose some. At least I know better for next Sunday... :o)

I just checked the Daily Mirror website, and it states all the sets are exclusives and cannot be found in the shops. Yet I bought the Atlantis Diver in Tesco's a few weeks back. Did anyone else buy one from Tesco's ?

Posted by NeilMartin in United Kingdom, 25 Oct 2010 10:26

@mission_zed - Yes, I purchased the Atlantis Diver (three of them actually) in Tesco just the week before we found out about the Mirror newspaper promotion. I'm tempted to get my Mirror newspaper sets and then take the original ones back for a refund and save myself GBP5.00.

Posted by Markey in Belgium, 26 Oct 2010 10:53

Went to WHS in Oxford today and they sold out of newspapers, but had lego left. So I asked if I could buy a few sets, and got two for free.

Posted by legomatt in United Kingdom, 26 Oct 2010 11:32

Well done for you Markey, that's great. Also, I had a bit of good news too. I was able to pick up the Police Boat after all, along with the Snowman for Monday's paper. The store staff gave me both! :o)

@All - If anyone in other countries wants any of these sets then PLEASE contact me via my profile and I will TRY to get them for you. I am going to use the mail away and possibly my local WHS to get these then based on how many people want what I will work up a price list. Again please do contact me and I will try and get them for you.

Totally rubbish. The only store near me (in Scotland) is a Somerfield. They have got 15 kits per day and are all well gone in the first half hour.

Posted by Renegade007cjh in United Kingdom, 31 Oct 2010 09:04

Have been fairly successful most of the way through the week, but was very disappointed that today they only had a miserly 28(!) sets and I turned up as person #29! Wouldn't mind, but the store had only been open for 15 mins!
