Sorry, I appear to be a bit slow! Do you need to buy petrol to get
points to get the Shell sets, or can you just walk in with a wad of
money and buy them? Not that I have a wad of money but still!

Cheers,
Richard

Bad news, folks: the promotion ended yesterday!!!

BUT...

Some Shell garages are playing a different game and will continue to keep
the stock until it sells. These garages seem to be few and far between -
only one of the NINE Shell garages near me still has shelf stock. (It's
something to do with whether or not they are a Shell Select Shop?).

BTW: the rules were: Spend a tenner on anything (except the promotional
Lego) and you were then entitled to buy as many Lego sets as you wanted. If
you had sufficient Smart Points (based on 1 point = 1 penny, and 1 point was
earned by spending £1), you could just exchange them for sets without making
any other purchase first. ONE of my local garages decided that you could
only buy one Lego set for every tenner spent, whereas THREE others were
happy to let you buy whatever you wanted without making that ten quid spend
first...

BTW: I've put a few aside if you are having trouble completing your
collection 8-)
