£25 makes them a pricey stocking filler. I'd like to order a couple but I'm on a tight budget atm.

Shame

I might have been tempted if more of the £25 went to the British Legion.

£25 plus P&P but a whole £2.50 of that goes to the Royal British Legion

There's also a solid silver version for a mere £95 plus P&P.

I'm going for a purple poppy this year, for the animals in confilcts.

Still donated to the red poppy appeal but didn't take a poppy.

From the information offered on this thread I googled and it said £25? Where did you get yours from?

The limited edition proof version is £25. They're different. The advertising links go to the £25 version though. I bet some are buying that not realising there are other options.

The £5 version only donates 50p to the Royal British Legion.

Pretty as they are, the charity doesn't get much of it either way.

The £5 option doesn't even come up if you search by theme and choose Royal British Legion. It's not mentioned on the Royal British Legion 2014 collection page at all.

The £25 is the cheapest with the most expensive version being £450.
