These are now instore at WHSmith

The grabbit is by using the coupons here in two transactions - print them twice!:

and barcode checker here - only need to print once:

http://bricks.inof.de/docs/minifig-barcodes/minifig-barcodes-b.pdf

You check the barcode on the back of the pack on the top left hand side which has no numbers. You need to read it from right to left as all the barcodes start the same on the left hand side. I recommend checking them into your basket and ticking them off as you go and then emptying the basket and check them back in again to guard against doubles, an extra 5 minutes well spent. Looking at those little lines does weird things to your eyes!

Once you have identified your 16 figures check them out 8 at a time using a £5 voucher on each transaction.

For those that have concerns over printing the voucher twice you can sign two members of your family up for the privilege club and they will each be emailed the same link - I know 'cos I did it!

    Which minifigures? If these are Star Wars I know someone who would love them.

    No - not Star Wars this link shows you the figures - both series one that has sold out in some places (although not Bentalls Kingsgton) and series 2 that has been released in Europe and is slowly making its way here!

  • Brilliant - thanks for bar code info. DD's stood feeling the series 1 packets in Tesco trying to work out which ones they were but got them both wrong!

    This will help....not that I want to encourage the collection of more LEGO:eek:
    If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    The barcode you need to compare on the packet is the one without the numbers, and do it from right to left as all the barcodes start the same on the left hand side.
