SilentMode Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Are you looking for any of the other ones? I didn't get one of Thursdays I've got a couple of Thursday's set I think: because of my situation I've sold six. I would be keen on Jack's boat, the ninja glider or the plane.

Gregorovich Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Yes, they turn up in supermarkets later. I have seen plenty on hang tags on aisles, in baskets (like the kind footballs are often sold in) and sometimes just stacked in a box on the shelves. Both ASDA and TESCO have had some of the previous promo sets in stock. TIE Fighters, the Atlantis Mini Sub and some other Star Wars ones. The retail at about £1.99 That's great news for me, seeing as I missed out on every single one. I don't usually get the chance to go to the usual LEGO shops, but I often go to ASDA to get food etc... Is it the toy aisle they're in, or some other aisle? I hope (but doubt) that they have leftover Jacks ...

I hope (but doubt) that they have leftover Jacks ... In my local ASDA some of the Star Wars promos were in those baskets (like they put footballs and stuff in?) in the toy aisle, not by the LEGO. But it was only one sort of set and they didn't last long. In the Tesco, they were in boxes on the toy aisle and hangtags off the shelves.
johnny cogs Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hey all. If it helps anyone that missed out I have a few of the polybags I would be happy to trade with, no sales though, just trades... I know I am new around here but I use this username all over the net and can be found quite easily, so I won't be leaving the country... (hang on, that wouldnt make a difference, would it??? lol) Anyways if it's allowed give me a shout. I have a few Jack Sparrow n boats, black pearls, both pharaos quest bags and a bunch of At-St's. I had to send away for the ninjago stuff.... Will trade for other polybags, anything to do with trains, bits for my MOD/MOC Fire Engine, PaB bags.... anything that fits really.... ha....

Unfortunately you can't PM until you have 10 posts, and I'd hate to clog up this thread with a discussion between us, but would really like a Jack w/boat or two (I got a couple of black pearls on the way from another trade). I don't know how to proceed without PMs, but if you look at my profile page you should be able to both leave a comment there and click on my "collectible minifigure trading" link on the top of my profile page. Don't post a reply to that one, either, leave it on my profile page for now if you're interested.
Praiter Yed Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) That doesn't sound right at all, and it looks like someone is just trying to offload their vouchers to some unsuspecting buyer. I would AVOID. I'm not considering buying them. I was thinking more along the lines of passing on the info incase anyone still had vouchers they wanted to try to redeem - might be worth further investigation . Although I agree that 'it doesn't sound right' if you presume that a eBay seller might be wary of negative feedback... it could be true. EDIT: Excerpt from BBC Watchdog blog. "Anyone unable to get hold of their toy is asked to contact News International Customer services on 020 7860 1129 or custserv@the-sun.co.uk. Readers need to keep hold of their voucher and have the location, date and time of the store where they had their problem to hand in order for their claim to be processed." And same info from The Sun website plus some alternative builds for those lucky enough to have all the models . Edited May 25, 2011 by Praiter Yed
