keymomachine Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Reminds me of how the latest iteration of Care Bears come with little coins. Yeah I bought that Grumpy Bear, he's my spirit animal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcanum777 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 When you add the redemption code to your cart, does it show up as an item? I tried but didn’t see anything aside from the sets I was buying. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I put the VIP coin code in the payment VIP section it rejected it because it wasn't 12 characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanum777 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I ended up talking to a CSR at Lego and getting my order and bonus put through. I also had to get the free poly bag shipped separately because they couldn’t add it with the VIP redemption. It was a challenge, but hey, I get a castle coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srm_520 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Nothing is more frustration that trying to use VIP points now! Same as y'all - I put it in, and it's blank. Say a little prayer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMuscle Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 VIP points should just be a category at checkout. “Would you like to apply points towards the purchase?” coins and any other vip bonuses could just be added to your shopping bag and then points used at checkout if you so wished. why there is a separate experience and the need to use vouchers is beyond me. Awful user experience in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful user experience in my opinion. I believe that's the point...pun not intended Once they changed to a point system that is both hard to remember and hard to calculate easily it was a clear show of a strategy to add obstacles at every turn to discourage the typical buyer from ever using points (which will eventually expire) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Why do you guys want these coins? Seems like clutter & a waste of valuable points. Any chance these become valuable? I don't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, should they have value? probably not - But will they have value? yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance these become valuable? I don't see it. Even if I got the coin the box will end up somewhere obscure and I will have forgotten all about it Fast forward couple of years...in the "What Did You Sell Thread", a BPer mentions selling his coin for $100...and by then I have long forgotten where I put the darn thing. So even if this actually takes off...sadly, it's a lose lose for me. I lost my Hasbro 501st Clone Trooper pack and had to refund $130...basically anything nonLEGO set doesn't "fit" my inventory system.

Froggage Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 So wait, I can give up my VIP points to get these coins and the case instead of actual lego, but I can only do it in 6 separate transactions? and the total equivalent cost will be ~$60 plus the cost of whatever I have to purchase in order to not pay shipping on each of these transactions? Lego really does have evil geniuses working for them... sign me up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackhammer3639 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I can’t believe none of the 40 somethings on this thread have mentioned, mused or asked about the classic space coin. Space. Coin. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw someone buy a whole ice cream cake with a space coin at 31 flavors last night. How / when can I get my hands on that? Anyone? Bueller? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
