Win One of 2,000 LEGO Castle Sets!

Post by The Brick Rat »

While at the grocery store the other day, I spotted the familiar LEGO logo on a box of Post Cocoa Pebbles. It seems Post Cereals is running a game on postopia.com from August 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 with 2000 LEGO Castle sets as prizes. Some details from the cereal box:

Cocoa Pebbles LEGO Castle Instant Win Game Official Rules. No Purchase Necessary. Open To Residents Of The 50 United States and D.C., 6 To 18 Years Of Age As Of 8/1/07.

1. TWO WAYS TO PLAY: A)Beginning August 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, log onto www.postopia.com, click on "The Quest for the Cocoa Dragon." Find the Lego Castle Instant Win game and follow the onscreen instructions to play the game. If you receive a winning message, follow the onscreen instructions to claim your prize. Prizes subject to verification. If you are not a winner, you may return to www.postopia.com to play again; however, limit of one game play per day per person or login/password.

Only potential winners will be notified by regular mail. Limit one game play per day per person, login/password, or envelope regardless of the method of play.

There's more, but as it's a bunch of legalese, I'm not typing it out. So, if you're 6 - 18 years old (or have kids in that age range), good luck.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to have my bro's look into that.

Unfortunately, I've been out of that age range for a while.

Hm... It says I'm not eligible because I'm out of the age range, but I'm not! I'm still 18 until August 18! Oh well.

Gahhh! Stupid computer! Let me be the first to say that my computer sucks. It can't even load the coco-whatever page.

*sigh*

Guess I'll have to take my chances with the mail-in competition.
