XimenaPaulina Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Nice find pedro, thanks for sharing. So you UK peepz are lucky once again with this Daily Mirror promos. Yeah the line-up seems pretty interesting, I like the brickbuilt parrot the best.
Zorbas Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 There is indeed a topic about this already.Click Lucky you...free LEGO with newspaper...
Superkalle Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Great spotting! Nice to see the lovely parrot. Now the redicolous price on BrickLink is no more!
pedro Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Don't live in the UK? Worry not! I trawled through LEGO.com and found instructions for 9/10 of the sets... 30008 Snowman 30009 Christmas Tree 30010 Fire Chief 30011 Police Dinghy 30012 Mini Aeroplane 30013 Police Quad 30021 Parrot 30041 Pirahna 30042 Mini Sub Incidentally I also found these... 30020 Jet 30040 Octopus with treasure ...and there's some world racers promos too that I haven't linked. There is indeed a topic about this already. No worries! Someone might want to merge them then. Edited October 23, 2010 by pedro
Zorbas Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 No worries! Someone might want to merge them then. Still, a nice find pedro. Oh, did I mention that you're lucky?
Vindicare Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Why doesn't any other country do this?! Namely the US! Come on, do it! I also really like that parrot. And the mini sub is cool too.
pedro Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Oh, did I mention that you're lucky? Hmmm... I think you did actually! I still feel there's a lot of making up to do after we missed out to the US on the chrome C-3PO promotion! Can't be said for the rest of the world though (sorry).
Blondie-Wan Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Those are really nice sets to get as promotional freebies. A few of those have come to the US, actually, but they're sold on their own for $2.99 or $3.49 or so, not given away with a newspaper (a double shame - not only would it probably be a less expensive way to get these, but it would also sell some more newspapers, which I know the US newspaper industry could really use these days ). That Creator parrot is indeed a particularly lovely model. pedro: Lots of us in the US missed on the gold-chromed C-3PO minifigures, as well. I dearly hope/wish they'd include them in regular sets. Threepio is actually probably my favorite Star Wars character, and I've long wanted an "ideal" version of him that shows the character off looking his best. My not having gotten one of those minifigures (so far - I have some unopened 2007 sets that could conceivably have one; I've been holding off on opening them to allow myself to fantasize a little longer that I might actually have one, before I open the sets and learn the bitter truth) is one of my two biggest regrets about Star Wars LEGO I've missed out on (the UCS Millennium Falcon being the other).
MikeJ Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) You will be able to get the set by post PROVIDING you collect eight different vouchers (from the Daily / Sunday Mirror) with a cheque for £8.99 to an address to be printed next weekend. They state the sets will be delivered before Christmas. Saturday's set was a space craft / figure (neat, even had 5x spare parts!!) Today's set was the police dinghy / figure (okay) Monday's set is a snowman Tuesday is a diver/mini-sub affair Wednesday is the parrot Thursday is a police car/buggy Friday is a plane (no figure) Saturday is a Christmas tree/presents Sunday 31st is a fire buggy with figure Monday 1st Nov is a shark-like figure Tuesday is a storage box and Wed 3rd is a playmat. All the above taken from today's Sunday Mirror. Hope that helps. Ooops sorry escortmad, just read your post Edited October 24, 2010 by MikeJ
