I missed the case first round.  I was able to get the case but not the coins so they indeed restricted it to 1 each per account.  Did they poof yet?  

 

I redeemed 4out of 6 coins/holder first round and 2 were restricted for me this time round. I don't think it was done consistently.

I missed the case and castle coin last time.   These 2 were the only ones available to me today.

That's the problem I have.....there's hardly enough inventory to try to place multiple orders to redeem the coins...

mini london bus 40220 is backordered but still qualifies. 4 get you to free shipping and limit of 50. I was slinging these for $15 during xmas sales.

Same here.  I wonder if this time it will be any better quality.  That was one of the major issues with the holder first round. Even tho the price still shot up.

Ohhhh, you're the reason it doesn't sell for $35 any longer.

Weird that some people are seeing coins/case available to them when they got them in the first round. 

I missed the gold coin and holder and they were the only ones available for me to redeem this morning. I refreshed the page afterwards and everything is grayed out. Working like it's supposed to for me. Now to figure what to friggin buy in the next 60 days to get them.

For sure, the three I sold locally for cash 2 weeks ago definitely crashed the market for 40220✌️

So you can only redeem one of these per order? That’s a nuisance.

Me either. Although I'm half-tempted (I don't have any of the coins, so they're all available to me) to make 6 individual key chain orders - so about $9 each, $54-ish total - to get the whole set and case. Worth doing?

it was certainly less hectic/rushed when they were available months apart.

I was running that math too I'm still thinking no...right now..

camera or coin which is better ?

Gosh is the coin really worth the hassle (to resell) 6 codes require 6 new orders at 5 minumum shipping each plus some random keychain. 

Since the whole point of the re-release was to avoid scarcity, its possible they made a ton.

I guess if youre ordering anyways sets it makes sense but otherwise....

Depends on how many coins they pressed for the second run. They are cheap to produce and cost about $10 each in VIP points, so I imagine there are a lot of them.

4shure...that's LEGO MO...under produce 1st round...make it rain next round

[jbacunn]

Probably not worth it to get all of them  but if you are missing 1-3 to make a set then it's worth it.

Bricks & Pieces is merging with Pick a Brick: https://brickset.com/article/68955

But most importantly, and relevant for this thread: 

Quote

This new experience means all parts orders, including those previously made in Bricks and Pieces can be applied to promotions (such as gifts with purchase) on LEGO.com.

Looking forward to this overall. The fact that the Bricks and Pieces orders can now qualify for GWPs is awesome.

As of 12:09 pm, Jan 12, I can still order the code for all 5 coins and the holder.  I did not redeem for any of these items in 2021.

So if I place an order (I am already over the limit but from 2021 release day) and use this order to redeem my Castle Coin code and the order gets cancelled do I have to call for the code?

My understanding is your SOL.  They can't reproduce the code and you can't use it a second time.   I haven't run into the problem but that's what others have stated.
