Hroth Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It's that most wonderful time of the year! Again.... Hornby say: Quote As of 1st December the Hornby Advent Calendar will go live and although there is no chocolate involved there will be a GIVEAWAY A DAY behind each door, featuring a wide variety of not only models but lots more! That’s all we’ll say for now, so be sure to check out the calendar every day and keep up to date with all the latest giveaways via our social media channels. I just hope access to the giveaway is not restricted to followers of the various social media channels that Hornby uses... Anyhow, from tomorrow, the fun begins! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AY Mod Posted December 1, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2021 Day 1 is to win a complete Playtrains set - I'm assuming @Phil Parker has put his name down for that. Meanwhile I've gone for the Airfix comp - MUCH more appealing! 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, it is very good stuff... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Don't forget the other brands. Maybe a Vulcan Bomber simulator experience is more interesting to older people or those with no youngsters in the family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thanks for keeping an eye on the Advent calendar, I'm in the middle of a stressful house move, and don't have much time at present for anything else. Perhaps the middle of next week??? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It's mostly been social media competitions and videos for the last two days so you haven't missed much. Jason 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby 2021 Tinplate O gauge loco competition. No actual “giveaways” to date… Probably Twitter tomorrow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amand Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Why oh why do we need to have Facebook, Twitter, Instantgram and probably other social media accounts just to enter? I'm not anti-social face to face with friends and colleagues but I am anti-social media. 2 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Does anyone have friends who have no interest in model railways - I know I do? Point is, the Advent Calendar simply seems to be doing Hornby's advertising and model railways publicity awareness job for them. Most of the 'offers' I cannot participate in, for risk of losing what few friends I still have! Al. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 This is a better idea for social media. Especially for a youngster. Actually involves some modelling. Win the ultimate WWII paint bundle by posting your best WWII build on any of our social media pages and hashtag #AirfixAdvent5, we’ll be watching! Deadline is Boxing Day 17:00 (GMT).

RMweb Premium Grafarman Posted December 9, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yep, Instagram again today...remember when they did Advent Calendars with actual offers behind the doors, like half-price P2's or 3 for 2 wagons...?! I remember checking the page for early access, and the scramble for limited availability models... Ah well, will keep checking, but as I've entered every competition Hornby has listed for the last 10 years or so with no result so far, I'm not overly convinced of a good result!!

Ruffnut Thorston Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 So, yes, the pattern seems to be repeating… Today’s Instagram draw is for a “Humbrol Bundle” … So, Twitter tomorrow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUCKOO LINE Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It does seem a bit half hearted this year and underwhelming and the Airfix and Corgi ones are no better. Strange not having it on the opening Web page as usual but hidden away a bit 5his year also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
