(Note: this post concerns a breakfast cereal box givaway in the US, so it might be a national/regional thing) - - - I want my Lego game!!! I have been watching the Cheerios and Lucky Charms boxes for the Lego’s game, and I haven’t seen one yet. This is after about a week and a half of several cases of cereal a day (I work in a grocery store, where I can look through the boxes before anyone else does). There are four different games shown on the backs of the boxes, and all the others are in abundance but I haven’t found one Lego’s game and I’m starting to get PO’d. Have any of you seen the Lego’s game / cereal box? I had to buy some Cheerios today and had to choose one of the others; Clue sounded the least repulsive among Carmen Sandiego’s word mystery and something named Amazon Trail 3rd that purports to teach “life skills”. Ugh. - I’m 31 yrs old, and Legos are _still_ cool. And anyway people tell me I know too many words already and I think it’s to late to learn “life skills”. - MC ---

Man… what a disappointment! I thought this was going to be a thread about LegoWars. “Finallly!” I thought to myself, “Finally, a thread where I can feel like an expert!” My only advice was going to be for you to go out and get yourself a copy of _Warhammer 40000_ and enjoy futuristic miniatures battles as they were meant to be 🙂 * * * Pete Long time RGMWer and ardent AOLer ---

Let me get this straight - you open all the boxes of Cheerios in the store and dig through them looking for a particular toy and then sell them to customers? I am never buying cheerios again! ---

- - - No no ya wink, there’s an opening in the box so that you can see the CD that’s inside, but you can’t get it out without opening the box. - I can find the other three but not the Lego game. - MC ---

MC, all you’ve accomplished with this thread is netting yourself (at least) one more competitor to try to grab it off the shelf before you do… I need to buy some serial anyway. And by the way, I have the [Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention Kit](http://www.legomindstorms.com), with the built-in computer… so Nya, nya nya nya nya 😛 !
