Default shell lego...have you got them all yet.

I need the tanker. Everywhere around us has run out and not expecting more stock.....now on a quest to find one. Am in the west Midlands now. Anyone know if any left around Stourbridge \ Kidderminster area ?


Boxing Day is the day I will open the bags and build them all thus avoiding the Fools and Horses reruns...

Good luck. My local Shell told me they only received 6 in their entire delivery and they all went the same day

So...I emailed Shell, told them my experience, and explained how daft I thought it was that a promotional item designed to reward loyalty club members should be so hard to get hold of, and they sent me a very nice email back, very apologetic, etc. They asked for a copy of my latest receipt (I had filled up the day before and bought a 250 GTO), and they replied saying they would send me one FOC for being such a loyal and awesome customer (they didn't actually say that last bit about being awesome ). Hats off to Shell in this instance.

Give it a try, you never know

Its either that or eBay.

All unopened and in a box

Stopped buying the premium fuel for the car and the van due to the extra cost per litre, but hoping since the staff told me they have sold very few kits, at the end of the promo I can pick up some to clear their stock, purely in the interests of helping them out of course.

I didn't bother this time round but got the full set last year. Now that I know you want the tanker Andy, I'll keep my eyes open.

Nope. Tried 3 shell stations on the way home. Got some more swapsies now though.
If you do find one I will be eternally grateful
