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

@FindTheCupForMax - I still have the flipping McDonald's tots I found for you and then was crap and forgot to send!
I've also got lots of Lego cards....I'll find your address from previous and send you all of them at the same time if max still likes the emoji toys as well?!

I've got a carrier bag full, lots of unopened packs if you'd like them?

abbsisspartacus · 24/11/2018 23:25

Do you still need these?

PerverseConverse · 25/11/2018 00:24

I have some from 2017 if any good? wevgad a clear out the other day and found about 8. Not many I know but you can gladly have them.

Jinglesplodge · 25/11/2018 01:00

Do you still need these? I've got a stash here that my ds ignored!

AdoraBell · 25/11/2018 01:11

Are you still looking for some OP ?

I have quite a few packets but have only just seen your thread.

FindTheCupForMax · 25/11/2018 11:24

If you still want them I have some at home I can send. I was given 10 packs one day. I’ve opened them, but had no use for them (no kids!) I took them in case someone I knew wanted them.

Land0r · 25/11/2018 13:16

Sorry, sorry FindTheCupForMax, I still have the new, unopened yellow box of cards to send to you. I haven't forgotten Max, just need to parcel it up and send. Will do it this week, I promise!

Tiredpigeon · 25/11/2018 22:43

I have at least 6 unopened packets if you'd like them? Just PM me

PinsPegs · 26/11/2018 11:27

OP, they are some great deals on ebay and gumtree etc . These ones are free You just pay postage.
It seems wasteful for people to be posting you small numbers of packs when you could buy a huge number so cheaply. Although I know people don't mind.

Knackeredlass · 26/11/2018 19:43

Hi there, my husband runs a foodbank and says that sainsburys are getting rid of the cards now as some turned up this week as a direct store donation. So it may be worth contacting your local Sainsburys direct in case they can help?

DollyRose · 26/11/2018 19:46

I have so many . If you just send me a message I'll happily pass them on to you🙃

Sloegin2 · 26/11/2018 20:05

I also have a son with autism and so so many people have gifted him these Lego packs because he loves them too.
We have literally hundreds, happy to share with your boy. Feel free to send me a message Smile

ShockedHorrored · 27/11/2018 18:58

I will soon be in possession of quite a few packs so if you pm your address then I’ll pop them in the post for you.

FindTheCupForMax · 27/11/2018 23:51

Please do save the cards for me, I'm having a nightmare with Internet at the moment and data isn't great at home. I will try to log in to WiFi somewhere tomorrow and send messages but I definitely would like them please Smile

FindTheCupForMax · 28/11/2018 12:03

@DogMamma Thankyou! They look like this, last year's were yellow and this year's are blue. They were free with Sainsbury's shopping
