Default RBL magnetic vehicle poppy.

Anyone know if any magnetic vehicle poppies have been produced by the British Legion this year? Each year I try and hunt down a couple of new ones as they fade after a few months. Regards, Paul.

Haven't seen them on PoppyShop site and it appears that some other Remembrance items are limited this year.

I may have a spare , will check and get back to you.

Sorry , I've had a quick look but can't find the spare one.

Checked eBay and the seller I've previously bought from appears to have got eight in May (for RBL 100) but sold last one at beginning of October.

Will keep an eye out and let you know if I spot any.

Thanks for looking. I managed to get one today at at my local Waitrose. Seller said they are trying to get more. So still on the hunt. I bought a strange poppy trolley token which when I opened the packet I found to be made of wood! Very odd. Regards, Paul.

Another Poppy car magnet obtained today so have a 5" and 8". Seem to be few about. Shame they fade midway through the year. All that shows after summer is the Blue 'SUPPORTING' and the black poppy centre. Regards, Paul.

Mission completed- Legion stall at Waitrose had some more today-8"-lettering all in black and charity details on bottom edge- like old soldiers previous ones have faded away during the year, will see how these ones last. I bought a spare so might be the start of a collection! Regards, Paul.
