ADU Walker Anyone????

atkinsar

^ Let's hope so, thanks for the heads up op.

Matthew

It would appear it's a Star Wars one - http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=62797&st=0

Maybe this is the one they had originally for NOTW in the last promotion, and they did only have 10000 ADU Walkers.

atkinsar

Oh well, would prefer the ADU Walker but this isn't a bad alternative I guess.

Huw

Damn, that's the Brickish Christmas party day! If it is the vulture droid, at least I already have one...

LostInTranslation

^ I don't!!! What am I going to do???

pantboy

Am i right to presume this will be another voucher claim at WHS or TRU type deal?

collect_that

^^ PM me your address!

broxi

i should be able to get a few

atkinsar

@Huw, that's what wives are for!

Matthew

As with the last one, I'm happy to help anyone who can't get it/is out of the UK etc out. Email sunpromo@matthewbutlerfol.co.uk.

@pantboy - I expect so. It would be fantastic if it came with the paper, but that's not likely....

LostInTranslation

^^^^ Wes, you beauty! Will do :)

MinifigsMe

Will do my best to get extras - totally owe you lucy!
Wouldn't say no the free £5 in tescos, so thanks for the heads up on that too!

Russell844

Set 30055 was available in the US at Toys-R-Us.

bixtrix77

Well I'll be sneaky out from work at 8:30 to get my hands on a couple. Just got back from MK lego store today and picked up a black pearl, cheap magnet sets on offer in the SW range and also the second freebee xmas set. :-D

Supersympa

cool, I will be in london that day!

LukeSkywalker

The Sun will be offering two minisets! One on Saturday the 3rd (Star Wars Vulture Droid), and one on Saturday the 10th (City Police Helicopter). :) http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/affiliates/lego/

Matthew

Here's some more info:

And link to The Sun - http://adf.ly/3wVfw
Does anyone outside of the UK need help this time around?
If you'd like either of them, or even some from last time email sunpromo@matthewbutlerfol.co.uk with what you'd like, quantities and BrickLink username (sales through there). If you don't have a BrickLink account email me anyway, and I'll sort something out. Also open to trades.

EDIT: - Ninja'd by LukeSkywalker.... :-)

Legogeek

I'd certainly like one of the helicopters... (my trade bag is rather empty, so I'm happy to pay for it & shipping).

atkinsar

The Police Helicopter is set 30014 (http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=30014-1).

Galidorneveragain

LostInTranslation

^ Sorry to say, this is old news, there was a thread somewhere about the ADU walker last week.

Edit: Gah, Ninja'd by Matthew!

mcvitie

anyone know if this will be 1 per customer? Was thinking of getting 2 or 3 for stocking fillers

chakino

I think it depends on store some are strict others less so. I heard one store made someone read the paper (jk)

LostInTranslation

@mcvitie: it's an absolute lottery. I had no problem last time getting ten newspapers and sets, going away and pulling out the vouchers because the whsmith muppets didn't cross them out and then reusing them. I know other people went to stores where the one per person policy stated on the coupon was strictly enforced.

I'm sure some kind person (@matthew?) could provide a link to the thread for the previous promo to demonstrate this...

Jabba_the_Taff

Just built mine. Nice little set. My WHS had four boxes behind the counter, for a pretty small shop.

Steve_J_OM

Stroke of luck for me, my local Smyths had been sent next week's 30014 Police Helicopter instead of the Droid Fighter. So they gave me me 30014 and let me keep the voucher, which I proceeded to take to Tesco and collect the Droid Fighter :D

I've no real interest in City mind, so it'll probably just go onto my trading list if anybody is stuck.

bricksan

Just got back and managed to bag 3 of them, one for me, one for a friend and one for the give away I will be doing for Xmas on my site.

pantboy

collect_that

Bagged loads for anyone who missed out!

atkinsar

My superstar wife got me 5 whilst I was out jollying it up all day, thanks wife!

drdavewatford

^ Yep, and mine got 4 for me and my boy without me even asking - babelicious !

Matthew

I managed 20, and the woman in the shop asked me if I knew I could post the coupons to get extras! If anyone would like to trade, just send me a message.

MattPetersen

I need to make friends with someone across the Atlantic so they can start sending me one of each of these promos!!

collect_that

^ Happy to oblige Matt? Just pm me what you want?

Also have stacks of next weeks promo if anyone wants these aswell?

Matthew

How did you get them early?

^^ Also happy to be friends :o)

collect_that

That would be telling! But I'm never short of promo polybags!

MinifigsMe

@collect_that do you have any of the older promo bags? from before this year?

bricksan

@collect_that, if I can't get next week I might take you up on your offer.

collect_that

@Savage_Steel I have boxes and boxes of polybags, although not as many as I thought as I'm rubbish at keepin' tabs on my collection and recently discovered I've traded away or misplaced a few!

But I'm in the middle of a big sort out and list of my full collection on brickset and I'm off-loading all duplicate polys (I always liked to keep 2 of each) now to make way for more I don't have. I'll update my trade thread tonight to show what is available.

@RJH - No probs mate! I'll keep one on standby :-)

luckyruss

I also have a few of next week's set - although I'm not a great polybag hoarder. Were they not part of the Esso promotion back in the summer, I think that's where I got most of mine?

MinifigsMe

@collect_that - cool - well I'd be interested in making those part of the trade/sale if you're still interested in 375 and 1589, though a bricklinker has requested a postage quote for 375, which tends to lead to a sale about 50% of the time from experience, so it might sell in the next couple of days, so move quick ;-)

leemcg

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've just been to my local LEGO store (Westfield Stratford) and they're giving away a choice of these polybags with every £25 spend. I didn't see anything advertising it, they just told me after I'd paid. (Maybe it was just for VIP members?)
