Does my redemption hold the coin for me if it sells out? Expand It should, but you still only have 60 days to redeem from when you got the code. I don’t think the coin itself is selling out but rather codes for it. I placed my order to get the Castle one a few days after the codes were sold out. 1 Quote

Does anyone have experience with them shipping rewards, even with a small item such as a key chain or poly? Edit: Yes but standard shipping charges will be added ($4.95) b/c the $35 threshold was not met. Expand Yea, I do that all the time. Sometimes I have something backorder along with reward, I would add a keychain or minifigure to get the reward shipped with it first. 1 Quote

Expand The next coin seems to be falling out of the the 2 week pattern? Curious if all the quality issues will delay the next coin due out. Maybe that would result in, wait for it....better quality?!

nolan808 Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 For all those keeping these still in wrapping you may want to check the quality of the coin/case. I opened the wrapping on both my coins and case and have to say that the quality is quite shocking. The case had a huge scratch down it and plenty of others to boot. The coin quality is just very poor on inspection. I had to open to check as tbh and I'm glad I did. I would expect returns if the damage etc wasn't mentioned. Quote

Has anyone here asked and received a replacement when their coin/case was damaged? I'm curious if they have extras for replacements. Quote
scythanith Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 I've claimed mine and had some shipping issues so actually have a double of the coin holder. I bought an additional castle coin from the UK. I think these will be worth a decent amount in due time. Instructed my family member with VIP to claim when they come out.

sodoubleoggood Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Does anyone have any tips on how to screw the case back together? My coin was upside down so I unscrewed it to flip it the correct way and it's next to impossible to screw back together. I totally regret doing this. 1 Quote

exciter1 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I planned to just offload one in the factory wrap. You guys had any complaints from buyers? 1 Quote

Expand I didn’t but I think if I had not opened it and removed the residue I for sure would have, it was pretty bad in my case (it was like sawdust or something). I ended up selling mine as “pre-owned” though. 1 Quote

Expand I'd say that is buyer beware. They are getting a new in wrapping item, just make sure you states you're not responsible for the state of the item under the wrapping. 1 Quote
BricksBrotha Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 someone in my neck of the woods just listed their castle coin on fbm. Quality is definitely lacking on the paint job. . 1 Quote
MotorCityMuscle Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Lol these are hot garbage. But glad to folks getting good money for them. 1 Quote
Captain_Obvious Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 all coins went poof! https://www.lego.com/en-us/vip/rewards-center/rewards i'm thinking there's going to be a space release this sunday or this whole thing goes bust (like many have mentioned here about quality issues) 2 Quote
Dark Helmet Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Whats everyone's thoughts. Keep it sealed and hope for the best or remove to inspect? will it hurt the value removing the wrapping? I can clearly see my coin is upside-down and lose but I cant see the paintjob. Quote

Expand I'm keeping the wrapping on since I think that'll get the most in resell value. I'll make sure to put a disclaimer in there about not knowing the condition of the coin since it's unwrapped and new. 2 Quote

BricksBrotha Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Not sure if the picture is entirely accurate, but this coin looks to be better quality. I like the silver color too. Quote
oneknightr Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Octan coin redeemed. I'm curious to know how many coins are actually produced for each theme. Quote
