Iain.Faulkner Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) we found a fault on the Waitrose website :-) Wha?!? Deeeeecent. You must tell us how! It was last year, they were running a promotion on lego and the offer was that for every lego set you bought you got a free lego minifig (one of the sealed packets, like the current Simpson's range)....unfortunately on their website they'd made a mistake and had actually reversed the offer. So for every lego minifig you bought, you got a free lego set...of any(!) value....top value items were about £80-£90 and you were allowed up to 10 per order. So we bought 10 lego minifigs for about £20 and ended up with about £400 worth of lego :-) We did actually place 3 orders (for about £1200 worth in total) but they worked out the issue and rang us telling us they were going to cancel all the orders....but whilst they were on the phone, someone started picking one of the three orders, at which point (apparently) the order can no longer be cancelled :-) so we got 1 out of the 3 orders which was still pretty impressive :-) Edited June 5, 2015 by Iain.Faulkner 1

Iain.Faulkner Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 As a result, our little boy got Lego for Christmas and will be getting Lego for his Birthday in August :-)
Haptic Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Time for another spot prize. 1 x Admiral Yularen minifigure up for grabs, these do not come with any kits. Lego exclusives. On Monday at midday we'll pick one Edugeeker at random from those (on this thread) that correctly identify the character pictured. Good luck, and remember our main giveaway closes at the end of the month. Lego - Star Wars Prize Draw - Haptic Networks

Haptic Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 PMing the answer 'cos I aint having people copy mine again. Ha ha ha loving the competitive streak shining through! PM's are cool, and for the record your answer was correct (like you held any doubt!)
kearton Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 [ATTACH]31097[/ATTACH]. "Spot Prize"... "Monday at midday"... i.e yesterday ??? 1
kearton Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I think @kearton means the second spot prize Exactly!
X-13 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I think @kearton means the second spot prize "Spot Prize"... "Monday at midday"... i.e yesterday ??? This what happens when you have loads of work to do... 1
Iain.Faulkner Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 This what happens when you have loads of work to do... This is what happens when I get home from work :-)
Haptic Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Hi Folks! Sorry, I'd got the post/winner lined up but didn't post (call me Jonny Derp) Also X-13 badgering me on Twitter last night, my response was regarding the prize draw (Double Derp from me) So without further a-do - the spot prize minifigure winner is: @gumbygaz Nice work on naming the stormtroopers too, most insightful! PM us your deets and we'll get the Admiral sent over to you. 'Meet' Joe Derp 1
Haptic Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Roughly translated that means- "The draw is getting close but there is still time for your last minute entries, contact your account manager or email [email protected] for details" Amazing how much info Wookies can communicate in a growl... On an aside, if you haven't seen this we highly recommend a viewing, looks epic!
Haptic Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 Hi All The draw has now been concluded! Congratulations to all the winners, we've listed the main prize winners here: Lego Star Wars - Prize Draw: Results.... - Haptic Networks We'll be contacting all the winners in due course, likewise the 50 x winners of keyrings (We didn't want to list them all on our site) Congratulations to everyone that won, thanks to everyone that took part. There'll be more like this a little later in the year Joe + The Team at Haptic 1
