CosmicSpeed Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Brickset has really scathing review of this coin and the accompanying storage case. I did maybe want these, but I might pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did maybe want these, but I might pass. I actually found some positive insights to the review (no thanks to the reviewers viewpoint, which seems to be one sided). Such as the case for each coin (which was not expected), and is pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Ha, I haven't redeemed by Castle coin yet. Any chance we can redeem multiple VIP gifts on the same order? Or is there still a limit of 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Well, the coin case has sold out of the VIP store. I think its still nice each individual one has a case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkalin Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I know the large coin display is sold out but anyone know if any of the single coins are sold out? I redeemed both of mine so it only says redeemed when I view the rewards page of the website that shows the status of the items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonkalin Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yeah, I redeemed yesterday as well. But i saw an article implying the castle coin was sold out. I was trying to see if anyone knew about today's status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I wonder if they ended the coin display case early due to some bad reviews about the quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ones that are up on Ebay appear to be going for $70+, so you may want to reconsider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If demand really materializes for these coins, then I expect that it won't be long before demand arises for PCGS and NGC grading. Again, pricing will depend on supply and demand. Has anyone come across any information re. the mintage limit on these coins? Or is Lego just going to mint on demand?

Based on the ones I've seen getting a High Grade would pretty hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. Unless these coins were properly struck and handled by Lego, a super majority will suffer some damage before they arrive at the hands of collectors. Based on the few pics of the actual coins from eBay listings, the color printing on the front is not great and there's plenty of milk spot issue on the rims.

Leaving mine nicely wrapped the way it came from Lego. FYI redeemed my Pirate coin this morning and should have the case in todays delivery.

As others have said, I think the quality just isn't there for the grading. In a comment on the most recent Brickset article, a commenter wrote that there was a limit of 3,000 pieces in Europe--not sure where that number came from. Are these gone from SAH in U.K.?

Blinky316 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Well I guess I had FOMO because I redeemed the points to get one of each coin but the site won’t let me add two codes to have them both ship with the same order or am I doing something wrong?

No, you are going to have to place 2 separate orders unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat. Redeemed both last week and didn't read the fine print saying you can only apply one physical reward per order. Now trying to decide what else to buy to get the second coin. Lame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
