    When you send off for them by post does it also include the playmat and collectors box?

    I live to far away from WHSMITHS (35 mile round trip) to go and collect them daily. SO £8.99 P&P is a bargain to me.

    Yes, you get the playmat and collectors box too, when you send off by post.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Mmm

    £8.99 is quite a hit.

    Can I be bothered to drive to Smiths every day to collect? Would probably just cost a little less in extra petrol i guess-£9 it is.

    New problem-will use these and previous lego offer for sons advent calender. What equally lovely things can I get for my 3 yr old daughter at the same sort of price?!

    I posted this up the other day after seeing the advert on tv.
    Such a pain that its not collecting from WHSmith again as thats much closer to me than toysrus and mccolls
  • hi all,
    re: collecting from WHSmiths -
    i usually get mine from the one at the bus station on my way to work - however its half term this week (im a teacher) so wont be going near the bus station(!) so im now left with collecting them and sending off by post. £8.99 does sound a bit steep i think for postage however you are only collecting 7 vouchers instead of the 14 if you were collecting them and picking them up (for the full set incl. mat and box) and you can save yourself a bit more by only buying the weekday issues for 45p (the weekend issues of the mirror are 65p and £1 for sat and sun).
    normally these sets cost about £3.00 each so you are still saving about £20 overall than if you just bought them in the shop - so i think its still worth it for sending through the post if you cant get to WHSmiths / Toys R Us and (fingers crossed) they'll arrive in time for christmas!!

    What a fabulous idea.

    I wasted a load of time trying to collect the last ones from the shop by the time i got there - they were sold out at 10am. So i will spare myself the stress and post them off and eagerly await the post man to deliver them.

    You can collect from WH Smith, as well as Toys rus, there is no mention of Mccolls in the paper
