LEGO Polybag Promotions Heading to The Daily Mail

June 17, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brick Fanatics is reporting that The Daily Mail newspaper will be giving out FREE LEGO polybags with their paper on upcoming dates in June. Back in March, LEGO’s partnership with The Sun newpaper ended and UK LEGO fans were fearing that there will not be any more LEGO sets being given along with their papers.

In this new promotion, you will be able to get the LEGO The Hobbit Gandalf at Dol Guldur Polybag (30213) on Saturday, June 29th and the LEGO Creator Little Car (30183) on Sunday, June 30th. There’s no additional information about the promotion at this time but I’m sure Richard over at Brick Fanatics will have the news as soon as it becomes available.
