Someone in the UK buy this for me?

[d_stilgar]

I'm looking for someone to get me one of these.

Let me know if you are in the UK and are willing. I'll pay all the costs.

They may show up in the logo maniacs catalog. I know that a lot of keychains and other small items show up in the catalogs about this time of year. My SO has quite the collection of lego keychains...

Well, it says on the site that there are 10,000 total and only available on that website but all you have to pay is shipping. I'm already seeing them on ebay, but I'd like to have one myself without paying that premium. Hopefully someone can nab me one.

Apparently you can get one by buying the top gear magazine - I'll have a look tomorrow and see what the deal is.... That site is showing out of stock

[d_stilgar]

Ah man. As of this morning you could get them.

[Cale_Hagan]

dang, i could go for one of those, haha. let me know how much they are, and if you can/are willing to get them, i may pick one up. :D

EDIT: Especially with the way i drive... :rolleyes:

I've been wanting someone in the UK to buy me a Gainward video card forever!

Crap - forgot about this - I'll go see if I can get a magazine (or two or three) tomorrow!

[d_stilgar]

Awesome. Let me know how the search goes. I'll reimburse you for any expenses (within reason of course).

As the magazine is nearly £4 (roughly $6.50) and you have to pay shipping to a UK address of £2.49 (roughly $4) then shipping to the US assuming it's less than 100g which is a reasonable assumption of £2.70 (roughly $4.50) I guess the question is, do you really want to be paying out $20+ for a "free" lego man?

I bought one magazine today and all it says is to go to the website and enter a code of TGLEGO so I don't think I need to buy multiple magazines so although the first one may be $20+ after that it should drop to about $15 (assuming I can even get more than one)

[d_stilgar]

Well, you already got the magazine, so unless you wanted to get it for yourself, I'll cover the rest of the costs in getting it to me, or at least reimburse you for the magazine and be done with it.

[slaveofconvention]

Ok so I registered my code and interest - and got the following rather uninspiring response...


Thank you for your interest in the limited edition Lego Stig keyrings, we will contact you early next year when the new delivery arrives.

I'll go back and register a couple of other email addresses (as many as I can get away with as I'll probably need different postal addresses) and then it's just a matter of waiting :(

I figured that might happen. Well, we'll just revive this thread then.
