Currently not working due to lengthy recovery period after having a brain tumour removed so apart from the v-power not being suitable for my car I don't do many miles at the moment.

That's fair enough, be patient and soon enough they'll be on clearance - Christmas eve last year I asked for one and was asked in reply how many I wanted, I walked out with a full set.

Bloke in Germany on eBay will sell you a full set of 6 from 2013 for £22 delivered. Message me if you want to know who. Works out about the same as buying the kits inc the extra for the V-power. Might try for my second set of this years models yet, just waiting to see if the powers that be question why I have been filling my car up every day with £30 of fuel rather than just brimming it and getting 2-3 days between fill-ups

No models left at my local garage frown
Major shortage of the tanker model in the area too apparently.

I've just found a UK eBay seller who has some full 2013 Shell sets for sale which also include the 7th pit crew set which has three figures! They're offering them for £32 but accepted my offer of £26 delivered which I think is very good. If you type in 'Lego Shell V-Power poly bags' you may find the seller. Hope this helps.
Thankyou, just bought a set for £26. 3 left I think...

Shell LEGO you say.

You've done well there, I've asked in three different Shell stations and they won't let anyone buy more than one at a time.

My local garage only had 2 different models left today and claim they won't be receiving any more. According to them the offer ends next week, whereas Shell state 31st Dec. I've managed to collect 4 but think I'll struggle to hunt down the tanker and remaining 2 cars I need...

My local is running low on the tanker but has plenty of the others. I only need the pit crew now.

Yep managed to get the last car, the F12 Berlineta for Tom today, so he now has the full set.

Will now be looking to see what spare second sets we can get before they run out in my local stations!

Anybody fancy a trade? - I have a spare blue car 40192 to swap for the F1 car 40190. Straight swap we each cover the postage. Saves faffing about and paying over the odds from the bay of flees

Finally picked up the tanker today. Local Shell station seemed to have all the models but wouldn't entertain my request to buy more than one in one transaction.

I managed to get 4 in one trip.

I did have to do 4 individual £30 fill-ups though and the last £4.50 had to go into a jerry can.

The miserable bds with the Shell station on the A505 just down from Baldock aren't participating in the promotion. Don't tell you this until you go to pay, only then does the old bag on the till tell you they couldn't be bothered with participating in the promotion!
