His I just wanted to clarify about the £20 voucher from toysrus for spending £75 on Lego.
I did my order online and have just had the voucher emailed.
It says minimum spend £10 (bizarre as voucher is for £20!) and you can use it on anything not just Lego.
Hope that helps as I know there was some confusion earlier on about the terms and conditions and some thought you had to spend a further £75 on Lego to use it.
Only thing I am a bit gutted about is I have to use the coupon online again so would have to pay postage

Managed to reserve two pink half price boxes at argos but on picking them up was told the base plate wasnt included it was just the box of lego they wanted to sell me unlike the offer stated on the website. Anyone else any experiences with this problem and hopefully how did it get resolved. thanks

i didn't get the free base plates with my 2 blue boxes i bought from self service checkout, but went back in to store today & said i didn't get them & gave them the code that was on here 909/5889 . they didn't have them in stock but found a nearby store that did & reserved for me

i went there & picked up the 2 base plates no problem

hope this helps

Well called the store and they said all their offers are subject to availability and they dont have the base plates and that's that apparently. I asked about claiming them at a later date and she went on computer says no mode "all offers are subject to availability, all offers are subject to availability" Her attitude was really couldn't care less. Think I shall give up as loathed to buy from them at all now

Well there seems to be some confusion about these base plates!
Just phoned up Customer Services who told me that the base plate is inside the box. I told them Yes there is one included but this offer is a green base plate seperate. They told me that there is another offer code on the system and that all stores are sold out near me until a big Lego delivery tomorrow at the warehouse that then filters to the store 5-7 days later. I was told that I could buy the box and pick up the base plate later and phone CS to see who had stock and reserve it over the phone! I was given a call reference number should I have any problems in store! :T:T

Off to pick up the last pink box within 50 miles tomorrow. Its a 10 mile journey so didnt want to waste time and money if I couldnt get a base plate free.....Oh dear

Tempted to get this, for me and my nephew. Would like to keep up a Chritmas tradition of helping him make a lego set.

Cool!! :cool:

After trying in store and also on the phone to the store with no joy I think I shall just get it and sort it out later when hopefully they have more stock. Dont mind waiting until after christmas for them just think I should get what is offered. Thanks for all you help

my store was very good. I bought the blue tub and the SA said your meant to get a free plate (which i knew) but we don't have any instock and they are not expected back in as sold out however i see there is one at x store (quite far away) i will reserve one there for you now and ring the store in a moment to extend it to a week to give to chance to ge over!
Can't say fairer than that!

Anyone had any luck with the duplo tiger or my first zoo at all? not any where near me.
