Just seen a photo put up on Legend Bricks (Hong Kong) Facebook Page

Some of the promo looks new?

Woohoo!

Let's hope it ends up in the US. Quite honestly, I like this promo better than the old one. Especially the tanker.

Right now, according to the site of the old promo, it is still saying the old promo is still running in Brazil, India, and South Africa. So I'm guessing there is still hope for the old promo in the US.

I'm guessing we'll still get the old promo first, and then maybe this new promo will run as part of ours?

The 512 is the ugliest Tiny Turbo yet.

A new part, the pull back motor is available in nearly all the sets?

Why release a promotional line, nearly all of which contain a brand new part, and not make it available all over the US?

Firstly, it's up to Shell where they release this promotion, and secondly, why is the US so special that it must get a new part the moment it's released?

Cody, my guess is the old promotion is finished and will never come to the US. For one the Ferrari drivers have changed so Shell won't be promoting them now. As I think I've said before, why don't you give Shell a call and ask them though?

I don't know the numbers or if they are even publicly available, but I suspect the USA makes up a fairly significant portion of sales for LEGO. SHELL also has a large presence in the USA so it just seems like it would make sense for them to run the promotion here as well. They used to years ago. I remember getting some of the promotions as recently as 10-12 years ago. I personally haven't seen any in the states since then, but I may have just missed them.
