Free LEGO with the Daily Mail next weekend

Good it's back, however they lose the value a bit with the expensive weekend papers.

Another helicopter?!?

I'll pick it up for the nexo cycle for my son on Saturday, but I have to approach it telling myself I'm buying the polybag and getting a bilious hate-filled rag for free (that will obviously be binned immediately). My wife even told me she was ashamed of me!

I hate to point this out, but as ubiquitous as helicopters are in LEGO city, that's not a helicopter, regardless of what they've called the set. It appears to be a twin engine float plane, albeit a very small one.

Too bad, I wouldn't even touch the Daily Fail with a very long pole.

That's no helicopter, it's a space station... er... miniature float plane, I guess. How'd that fail get through LEGO's quality control?

It's a helicopter if you hold it sideways.

While anything is better than nothing, i wish they'd go back to doing one that lasts a week.

And cue all the Daily Mail hate comments... I see a few have already jumped the gun.

Who cares about the Daily Mail, these exclusive polybags are more than worth it!

Out of curiosity, how much does a Daily Mail weekend paper cost?

@ joem No idea, but you can get it at Waitrose for free for shopping over £10 (if you have a Waitrose loyalty card which you can get any moment).

@joem £0.90 & £1.60 for Saturday and Sunday editions respectively. Not much for a Lego set but you are giving your money to an extreme right wing tabloid newspaper.

True, but if the Grauniad were giving a polybag away it would be an Ai Weiwei bag to make a mini mural of Kim Jong Un

I don't think I've ever seen anyone in my local WHSmith buying the paper during a Lego promo to actually read it. The staff often know this and will sometimes offer to take it back to save you the trouble of recycling it yourself (and maybe sell it again, questionable?). Even though it's only 2 sets, it's nice that the promo returns temporarily.

Side note on polybags - my local TRU had the Olaf Summertime Fun bag loose for sale at £4.99. Grabbed it when I got my Disney minifigures.

What I love most is that, that's not a helicopter.

But I love those little polybags that feature impractically-small town vehicles. They're always so cute. I really loved the swamp helicopter from a little while ago (that actually was a helicopter), and the Arctic plane polybag was a cute little set too. I bought this Prison Island one-person seaplane on eBay a little while ago (from a seller in Europe), and I love it, I think it's brilliant. And I like how it comes with a little cockpit, making it slightly less impractical.

And cue all the hate comments about the Daily Mail hate comments... I see a few have already jumped the gun.

The Saturday edition is not too bad. It can't be because around 50% of it is devoted to adverts for cruises. Though it does contain a column by Amanda Platell .......

I, for one, am actually pleased the promotion is so poor this time. Means I won't be tempted into selling my soul (buying the Daily Fail). I was dreading it from the rumoured list I saw a few weeks back as I would have probably ended up buying several issues.

Hopefully this is a sign that LEGO will be dealing with another paper in future, instead of this vile, hate-filled rag.

I think Lego should just 'skip to the end' and sell polybags in stores at £3-4. It would certainly quell all the rants about newspapers and eBay scalpers.

Do we know what happen to the original plan for this promotion. Remember reading a few months back about 9 sets was due for this May promotion, including Lego Friends and Cosmic Boy.

Would be a real shame it those are gone

Does anyone know if there's a mail-in address for these vouchers, as there has been with previous promotions?
