Go looking for a chance to win LEGO® sets and it does not take long to reach a checkout. There are Lord of the Rings bundles, Star Wars display pieces, little cars and nostalgic TV sets to be won — but the ticket price is only the start of the story.
I checked twelve UK-facing competition sites, looking for actual open LEGO®-related draws rather than old winner announcements. Some offer a single set, some let the winner choose, and others mix a final LEGO® prize with instant wins. One of the examples below is a LEGO® voucher rather than a boxed set.
The useful questions are simple: what could you win, how much does one ticket cost, how many tickets can be issued, and can you enter without buying one? The last question needs more than a quick glance at a “free entry” button.
This is a comparison of published offers, not a recommendation to spend money or an endorsement of any operator. I checked the listings and entry instructions, but did not buy tickets, submit postal entries or test prize fulfilment. These are adult-entry sites; check the individual eligibility rules even when the prize itself is a children’s toy.
Paid LEGO® competitions at a glance
These are the advertised single-ticket prices for the particular draws checked, not each site’s permanent pricing. Discounts and basket defaults may change what you actually pay. Dates are the advertised closing or draw dates; some draws can finish earlier if their allocation fills.
How to read the odds: “1 in 350” means the main-prize chance for one valid, individually allocated ticket if all 350 tickets are allocated and one main-prize winner is selected fairly. It is not a promise about the eventual number of entrants, and it does not combine the chances of winning cash, credit or other instant prizes.
| Site | Example prize | Per ticket | Ticket cap | Main-prize chance at full cap | Advertised date | Published free route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collie Competitions | Lord of the Rings: choose two sets | £2.50 | 600 | 1 in 600 | 13 September 2026 | Postal; Wednesday processing |
| Waffle Competitions | Waffle 3567: choose one LEGO® set | £4 | 30 | 1 in 30 | 8 September 2026 | Postal; instructions on draw page |
| Brick Prize Draws | The X-Files, draw 21369-3 | £2 | 180 | 1 in 180 | 16 September 2026 | Postal; one per person; Monday processing |
| Gaming Giveaways | Executor Super Star Destroyer #1 | £2.99 | 440 | 1 in 440 | 11 September 2026 | Postal; linked beside entry controls |
| RaffledUp | Executor Super Star Destroyer | £1.99 | 653 | 1 in 653 | 11 September 2026 | Postal; instructions on draw page |
| Brick It Comps | Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse | 55p | 350 | 1 in 350 | 15 September 2026 | Postal; one per household |
| Rev Comps | Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1 car | £1.97 | 199 | 1 in 199 | 10 September 2026 | Postal; at least 24 hours before draw |
| WinWink | Harry Potter Ministry of Magic | £2.50 | 350 | 1 in 350 | 9 September 2026 | Postal; deadline 8 September, 8pm |
| Ragnarok Competitions | Bundle of six Speed Champions cars | £1.49 | 150 | 1 in 150 | 15 September 2026 | Postal; one per person; earlier deadline |
| Titan Prizes | E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial + instant wins | 85p | 499 | 1 in 499 | 8 September 2026 | Postal; full instructions in terms |
| FFC Competitions | £100 LEGO® voucher + instant wins | £1.99 | 9,999 | 1 in 9,999 | 20 September 2026 | Postal; credited entries need checkout redemption |
| 6 For Gold | AT-AT Driver and Captain Rex helmets | £1.50 | Not independently confirmed | Not quoted | 28 May 2027 | Postal or pooled online entry; see important difference below |
Timing matters: the Waffle and Titan examples close on the day of this check, 8 September. WinWink’s postal deadline is also 8 September, despite the draw being on the following day. Those are not realistic new postal-entry opportunities at this stage. The 6 For Gold example goes the other way: its page currently advertises a closing date well into 2027.
What each site is offering
Collie Competitions: choose two Lord of the Rings sets
Collie’s Lord of the Rings draw is a bundle for one winner who chooses two sets, not two separate winners. The choices listed include Rivendell, Barad-dûr and Minas Tirith. At £2.50 with a 600-ticket cap, it sits between the tiny-allocation draws and the enormous instant-win games.
There is a link to free postal entry, but clause 3.11 of the terms says entries are processed on Wednesdays only. You need an account first, and a postcard that arrives after the allocation fills will not be entered. A Sunday closing date does not, by itself, tell you the last useful day to post.
Waffle Competitions: a small draw with a choice of prize
The Waffle 3567 draw has just 30 tickets at £4 each. The winner chooses one LEGO® set from a list advertised as containing more than 70 options, including Tranquil Garden, Retro Radio and Bumblebee. That is a choice of prizes, not seventy prizes being handed out.
The free postal instructions are displayed alongside online entry. You register first and send each entry separately. Schedule 1 of the terms says tickets are reserved for at least four working days after a competition opens to accommodate postal entries. This particular example draws at 8pm on 8 September.
Brick Prize Draws: clear instructions, but a tighter postal limit
The X-Files draw at Brick Prize Draws costs £2 per entry, with 180 entries available and a latest draw date of 16 September. It is a straightforward single-set prize.
The postal instructions are easy to find on the product page, but the limits are not the same: one free postal entry per person per draw, compared with up to nine purchased entries in this example. Processing happens on Mondays, and entries must be received and processed before the draw closes. Those restrictions deserve attention; a published route should not automatically be read as an equally usable one. See the official rules.
Gaming Giveaways: a Star Wars prize with a delivery caveat
Gaming Giveaways’ Executor Super Star Destroyer draw is £2.99 per ticket with a cap of 440. Its advertised draw is 11 September, but the listing says the set will be dispatched once LEGO® releases it on 4 October. In other words, winning the September draw would not mean receiving the set immediately.
The postal-entry link sits beside the entry controls, rather than being left for you to discover in a footer. Section 12 of the terms gives the postcard instructions. An account is required, and the entry needs to arrive before closing or the allocation filling.
RaffledUp: a cheaper ticket, but a larger pool
RaffledUp also has an Executor Super Star Destroyer draw, priced at £1.99 with 653 tickets and an advertised draw on 11 September. It makes a useful comparison with Gaming Giveaways: a lower individual ticket price comes with a larger allocation. The price alone does not tell you which ticket gives the stronger chance.
A free postal-entry tab on the draw page supplies the address and instructions. You need a registered account and a separately posted, handwritten postcard. The published rules exclude postcards arriving after the ticket cap has been reached. Check the prize delivery arrangements as well as the draw date.
Brick It Comps: Snoopy, plus credit rather than extra LEGO®
Snoopy’s Doghouse at Brick It Comps is 55p per ticket with a 350-ticket cap. Sales are scheduled to close at 10pm on 15 September, with the automatic draw thirty minutes later. The accompanying instant wins are £2 credit awards, not ten additional Snoopy sets.
There is a visible free postal-entry link, but the instructions allow only one free entry per competition per household, while the paid limit shown is 35 tickets per person. You also need an account with matching details. That is a material difference between the routes, not just an administrative footnote.
Rev Comps: a capped Technic draw with an earlier postal cut-off
Rev Comps’ Technic Ferrari SF-24 draw is £1.97 a ticket with a maximum of 199 tickets. The advertised automatic draw is 10 September at 11pm, or earlier if it sells out.
The postal-entry terms require an account and a standard A6-sized postcard, with receipt at least 24 hours before the draw. The instructions are unusually particular about postcard format, so read them before sending anything. Rev Comps is UK-facing, but its current named promoter is registered in Gibraltar; it should not be described as a UK-registered company.
WinWink: the postal deadline is shown separately
WinWink’s Harry Potter Ministry of Magic draw is £2.50 per ticket with a 350-ticket cap and one main-prize winner. Its advertised draw is 9 September at 8pm.
The page has separate online and free postal-entry options, with the address, account requirement and entry details set out underneath. Importantly, it gives a different postal deadline: 8 September at 8pm. That is useful information to have visible, although visibility does not resolve the broader question of whether an earlier postal cut-off is fair.
Ragnarok Competitions: six cars for one winner
The Speed Champions bundle at Ragnarok contains six cars for one main winner, with £5 and £2 site-credit runner-up prizes. It costs £1.49 per ticket and has a 150-ticket cap. The competition page gives a closing time of 6.59pm on 15 September.
The page points to postal instructions in clause 17. These require an account, limit free entry to one per person per competition, and require arrival by 4pm the day before the draw. The stated ordinary-post option is first class. The terms also refer to a minimum four-day period for postal entry.
Titan Prizes: E.T. is the main prize, not every instant win
Titan’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial draw is 85p per entry with 499 tickets available. There are also four £10 cash instant wins. Useful to know, but those extra winning numbers do not improve the stated chance of taking home the LEGO® set itself.
The prize page signposts free postal entry, with the full instructions in the terms. An account is required and postcards need to arrive by closing; the terms also exclude entries where the draw sells out before processing. This example closes at 7pm on 8 September, so it is already too late to treat it as a new postal opportunity.
FFC Competitions: a LEGO® voucher game, with an extra entry step
FFC’s Ultimate LEGO® Voucher Instant Wins costs £1.99 per ticket, with 9,999 tickets and a £100 LEGO® voucher as the final draw prize on 20 September. Its instant-win list contains LEGO® vouchers or cash alternatives, as well as site credit. The table’s 1-in-9,999 figure relates only to the final £100 voucher.
The postal instructions are on the draw page. One detail is easy to overlook: accepted postal entries are credited to your account and must then be redeemed through checkout. Posting the card is not necessarily the last step. This belongs in a LEGO®-prize comparison, but it should not be presented as a draw for a particular boxed set.
6 For Gold: online free entry does not mean an individual ticket
6 For Gold’s Star Wars helmet draw advertises £1.50 paid tickets and both online and postal free entry. Its current page gives a closing date of 28 May 2027, considerably further away than the other examples. I could not independently confirm its total ticket allocation from the accessible draw details, so have not supplied odds.
The important distinction is in sections 5 and 6 of its terms: online free entrants go into a pool represented by ticket number 1. Only if that number wins is a further winner selected from the pool. Valid postal entries, by contrast, receive their own available ticket numbers.
An online entrant is therefore sharing one ticket’s chance with the other people in that pool. It is not equivalent to holding an individual paid or postal ticket. The online option is clearly advertised, but that difference needs to be understood before comparing chances.
What does “free entry” actually save you?
On most of these sites, “free” means not paying the promoter’s ticket fee. You still buy a stamp and supply a postcard. For a 55p or 85p draw, do not assume posting an entry is the cheaper option; compare the actual postage cost. That is a cost comparison, not a reason to spend money on a draw you would otherwise skip.
There is also a difference between finding instructions and knowing that a route is fair or legally compliant. The Gambling Commission’s guidance explains that ordinary first- or second-class postage can qualify as free entry, but also sets requirements covering free-route convenience, prominence and non-discriminatory prize allocation. The Commission does not approve individual free draws or prize competitions.
That is why the earlier cut-offs, weekly processing schedules and tighter free-entry limits above are flagged rather than brushed aside. These are the operators’ published conditions, not an assurance that every restriction is acceptable. Where a condition would disadvantage you, ask the promoter for clarification or leave the draw alone.
Three numbers are more useful than “great odds”
Before entering, look at the ticket price, the total allocation and the number of winners who will actually receive LEGO®. A page advertising hundreds of instant wins may be counting small credit awards. A page showing six LEGO® cars may have just one winner. Neither is necessarily hidden, but both can make a headline sound more generous than the LEGO® odds really are.
Do not calculate your final chance from today’s “tickets sold” counter, either. More entries can arrive before closing. An undersold draw may eventually offer a better chance than the full-cap illustration, but you cannot bank that improvement while it is still open.
And even the smallest allocation in this snapshot is no guarantee. At a full 30-ticket cap, one ticket has a 1-in-30 chance of the main prize — and a 29-in-30 chance of not winning it. A cheap entry is still a purchase of a chance, not a clever way of buying discounted LEGO®.
My take
There is plenty of LEGO® prizes on paid competition sites. The useful distinction is not simply between expensive tickets and cheap ones, but between clear, manageable draws and offers where the headline leaves you doing detective work.
I would favour a prize description I can understand, a visible ticket cap and entry instructions that do not leave me guessing. That still would not make a paid draw a bargain or a reliable route to the set on my wish list. Decide what you are comfortable losing before browsing — and remember that deciding not to enter is a perfectly good outcome.
