LEGO Mini-set Promotion with The Sun

Wolverine359

There's a LEGO promotion running at the moment in association with The Sun newspaper. If you buy The Sun on Saturday or during the week, you'll get a token which you can bring to your local Tesco or Smyths Toystore, and you will receive a free LEGO mini-set. While stocks last, so be quick to avoid disappointment!

I think Tesco runs out of them faster because they're selling the papers there too, but if there's a Smyths Toystore near you, you should have a better chance finding them there. They often have sets from previous days left over as well, so it's worth asking about them at the customer service desk.

They have them in all the Tescos in Dublin City Centre - Jervis, Temple Bar and Parnell St. As well as Smyths beside the Jervis.

There's also 20% off selected LEGO Star Wars sets in Smyths at the moment.

I had no end of trouble trying and failing to get a hold of this lego set today. 2 Smyths and 3 tesco's didn't have any stock, seems Tesco didn't get a delivery today at all.
Was anyone else able to get it?

I got the Ninjago today; it was supposed to be the set for tomorrow, have no idea why they gave it out today

Wolverine359

Yeah, I couldn't get it either. Tesco didn't get the car at all for some reason, and Smyths only got one box of them and had them all given away by the time I tried them. But Tesco gave me the 3 previous days ones plus the 2 for the next couple of days instead, so I was happy in the end.

So I have plenty of cars 2 toys now
My sons will be mega happy

They never even looked at the vouchers just gave me what I told them I had for each toy

Robbie

lindtee

The woman in customer services would only give me 2 ninjagos and one cars lego packs because she said that is what the vouchers said:( Didn't have the time to argue my case. My son was heartbroken when I picked him up from school*

*no he wasn't

superflyninja

i missed out on the spaceman tesco gave out the ninjago instead. anyone know if any tesco has the spaceman in stock?

Wolverine359

Got my Cars earlier, glad to complete the collection. The main Tesco near me is pretty strict on giving out one set per token, but the people at the Tesco express down the road from it couldn't be sounder. They had all the boxes for the promotion open all week (except the cars til today) and would always throw me a few extra every day, i must have got about 5 sets per paper. And they wouldn't even ask me to cut out the token, so I could pick up another extra at the other Tesco or Smyths afterwards. Just one more set tomorrow, Harry Potter with trolley and owl (already got a few of them!).

As far as I know, that's it. There were rumours that another Alien Conquest mini-set could be added to the mix (which would have been nice!), but there wasn't any announcement so it looks like we have them all.
