The Sun is a popular newspaper which ran a LEGO promotion from the 14th May - 22nd May, 2011. The promotion also ran in The Sun's Sunday sister paper, the News of the World.
The News of the World closed down in July 2011, meaning subsequent promotions are only in The Sun.
A second promotion started in The Sun on October 8 2011, and a third on May 19, 2012. The fourth promotion started on October 27 2012, and ended on November 4, 2012. Due to a section of The Sun, LEGO ended their partnership in 2013.[1]
