So if you're thinking of visiting the opening to get some goodies should start thinking about what £100+ sets are on your wishlist. Brickset also report the following comments from the LEGO Group regarding the scratchcard method of obtaining Lester:

Regarding Lester, we love him and are super happy that he has been so successful as a mascot for our London store.

He was initially designed to use in print and other communication, but we are thrilled with his popularity, and excited that we are able to produce a limited number of special edition Lester Minifigures to celebrate the grand opening.

The scratch card is intended to be the fairest method of distribution to ensure that all LEGO fans in attendance get an equal chance of getting their hands on one.
