Appeal for Lego cards for a special little boy with autism

FindTheCupForMax · 07/09/2018 18:11

I am a long time poster under different names, this name was created when we were hunting for the only cup that Max would drink from and we had some great help from MNetters

I posted last time Sainsbury's did the Lego card promotion and I managed to collect quite a few (and also then went on to help people find the ones they were missing) now they are out again and I am on the hunt for as many as I can get

Maxwell is a lovely little boy who has autism and is non-verbal, his eyes light up when he sees these cards and when Maxwell likes something then it's not a passing phase, which is why we need to collect as many as possible so that some can be put away to replace current ones as the years go by

MNetters have been so helpful in the past with the cup, Lego cards and McDonald's emoji toys, so I'm reaching out to you all once again. I am happy to cover any postage costs

I have a couple of packs I can send if you PM your address

OP,

I’m sure posters are happy to help but you can buy the cards very cheaply on eBay? It would be cheaper and easier!

I've not rtft but have around 15 packs if you want them. Please PM your address if you want them. fx

starryeyedsnowgirl · 07/09/2018 20:54

We only have five packs so far, but we always shop at Sainsbury's so will
No doubt get more as the promotion continues.

If you don't mind waiting until it finishes I'll send them all in one batch. Just PM your address.

Drivenmad80 · 07/09/2018 21:56

I've got loads of the yellow ones from last year and some of the new ones. You're welcome to them xx

NoSixPlease · 07/09/2018 22:27

There was a post on my FB feed of someone offering their duplicates for free. I have arranged to collect them and will post to you if you can pm me your address.

BaxterStockboy · 08/09/2018 06:46

Not sure If they would do this, but you could contact Sainsbury's or speak to the manager in your local store and see if they would give you a box?

I'm sure I heard on here before about McDonald's helping out a family in a similar situation?

I'm sorry I can't help myself, I don't shop in Sainsbury's. Good luck x

Cbeebiessavesmyafternoon · 08/09/2018 07:33

Ives got loads of the previous yellow ones if you send me your address.

NotTodayDear · 08/09/2018 07:49

I’ve got a couple of packs that you’re welcome to.

Rosesadie · 08/09/2018 08:09

PM me your address, we have loads and my girls aren’t overly interested!

smartiecake · 08/09/2018 08:13

We have about 6 unopened packs and a few packs the kids have opened but they are not really interested. Happy to post mine to you if you pm me your address. I also have a son with autism.

Inkythemouse · 08/09/2018 08:18

Laur2017 · 08/09/2018 08:34

@FindTheCupForMax - cards in the post for you today x

HonestReally · 08/09/2018 14:40

OP, are you going to get the ones from eBay? It would work out a lot cheaper than lots of people sending a few packs in the mail. You get 200 NEW packs!!!! The seller has great feedback too. For less than 6 quid it seems like the easy option to me.

scaryteacher · 08/09/2018 18:32

I only have one pack from the Sainsbury's magazine, but you're welcome to them. Can't offer to get more as I am not in the UK. Ds at 22 is a bit big for lego cards now!

OrchidFlakes · 08/09/2018 19:30

Pm me your address, I have 5 packs (opened but unloved) and no doubt more will come tomorrow...!
