So...........I'd need to buy something sh!tty to get free awesomeness? I think I'll just buy the awesomeness.

The title is misleading since it's not free, you pay for it through the other item. :mad:

On a similar topic I signed up to http://club1.lego.com/en-US/legomagazine/default.aspx and you get a free LEGO magazine delivered. My kids love reading through it.

No purchase of the ultimate RAG paper required.

C'mon, when do you ever get anything that's completely free? I'm not sure what price the notw is but it's got to be under €2, worth getting for the Lego jack sparrow (with his hat) if you're a Lego fan, the cheapest set you can get him with is €49.99. It's definitely worth the shame of buying the paper!

The UK offer states WHSmith and ToyrUs for pickup. Where is the pickup point in Ireland I wonder?

I can confirm that the Lego mini-sets can be collected from Smyths toystores, the coupons come in The Sun and News of the World, a different set available each day starting Saturday the 14th, and ending Friday 20th.

Thanks for this, had been looking for information online on when this was starting but couldn't find any. Son LOVES lego, so he will be delighted with this:D

Quite regularily. The last free freebie was that Bridgestone tyre-check thingie. Completely free, no purchase of some other crap necessary. That's beside the point anyway. Your OP was and still is misleading.

Forgive me if I don't give whatever few pennies I have left from this weeks raid on my life savings to a couple of rags.

Might not have any money but I still have standards!

I tried changing the title earlier to say "(with purchase)" but it's fixed. The description in my OP has all the information, so it's not misleading at all. I wanted to convey info for multiple offers anyway and didn't see why the title had to be lengthy. All you have to do is hover over the post and most of the details show up. :rolleyes:

in other news you buy boots are no longer doing a 3 for 2 off. but instead they are giving one item free if you buy two others.

Wolverine359

The Lego toys can be collected from participating Tesco stores as well as Smyths! Just picked up a copy and saw it on the front.

Trying hard to see the difference here . . .

Or did just hear a whoosh?

mrsweebri

my son grown man-child is delighted with his new toy. And I am in the good books for passing on the info. So thanks Wolverine.

Did anyone else have 4 pieces left over after they finished building the X-Wing?

There always seems to be spare pieces in lego sets. Son started making it but went out to play in the middle of it.:pac: Good value for €1 I must say.

This is because most sets have an alternative model that can be built with the instructions included, and the extra parts are usually needed for it.

For fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and Lego, the News of the World comes with a coupon for Captain Jack Sparrow, complete with his tricorne hat, a small boat, and bottle of rum! Well worth €1.50, expect these to disappear fast so make haste to Smyths or Tesco! Arrrr!!

Going to head out soon to get it. Its a pity they don't have the figures available in other stores, such as Supervalu or Centra or Spar (nearly everyone has one of them in their locality)

I can't get the form to submit! What did you use for the Zip Code?

I don't think it's the Zip Code either as I put in Iherbs Zip code and I'm still getting
"Please enter valid information."

Wolverine359

Today's offer is a Lego Mini Black Pearl ship from Pirates of the Caribbean, for readers/buyers of the Sun newspaper, the Lego is a bargain for €1. Collect from Smyths or Tesco, while stocks last.

P.S. Wanted to update the first post in this thread but I must have run out of edit-credits or something. :rolleyes:

^ You have a 48-hour window after making a post to edit it. (Probably better in this thread to make a new post rather than edit your OP anyway).

Just a warning to people not to collect the tokens and go in on last day
(as previously have done). Went in yesterday with tokens for 2 days to Smyths in Galway, and lady was very rude and unhelpful. I know it says on token only collection on day,this time they are sticking to it.

Wolverine359

Tuesday's offer: Ninjago set with white ninja figure and glider, with the Sun (collect at Smyths or Tesco). This is the first of 3 Ninjago minisets to be given away.

Wolverine359

Wednesday's offer: Buy the Sun and receive a coupon for Lego Ninjago Skeleton Chopper, available to collect at Smyths and Tesco.
