Fastest one to sell out it sounds like? Really haven’t follow the sell out timeline over there. In the US the last 2 have lasted around 2 weeks each

This is what I'm doing as well.

People surely will want to see the condition of the coins before buying though, especially as collectors. I would think it will be worth more to show the awful condition tbh

I've opened mine up and had no problem flipping for $60 each

great, that means the gig is up and QF prices will tank.  I got a code and am holding until I can get the Amelia Earhart GWP as well.

I've sold many things on Ebay that were "factory sealed" and won't stop with these.

Yeah same here, haven’t redeemed the Pirates either waiting for that.

Really hard to tell, but I don’t think there are that many of these things produced to begin with. Once the “<50 left” note shows up it takes a couple of days for them to fully sell out, so if they are done in 2 weeks and less than 50 are sold daily, then you are left with less than 1,000 per coin.

3rd one is up

Short-time lurker, likely not going to post much, but I figured I'd let you all know that I received my Octan coin today (the benefits of living less than three hours away from a LEGO warehouse) and either I got lucky, or the quality is MUCH better. No residue in between the glass, the coin is facing as straight up as it can get and the paint job is excellent. Since it's hand painted it's not completely flawless, but you have to peer really closely at it in order to spot the flaws. 

Long story short, if this was the quality of all five coins, I would be very pleased.

Has anybody ever redeemed the Fiat poster series reward? The point value doubles that of a coin, I'm curious what that is, but also very hesitant to waste my point on just color-printed posters. 

[Dark Helmet]

$20 for a 8.3" x 11.7" print.. that seems small.. hope the quality is better than the coins

[CosmicSpeed]

I've redeemed almost all of the Originals, they usually ship in their own flat box. Nice paper quality.

I’ve gotten number Avenger/end game posters and the quality of paper is top notch.

Same here, I especially enjoy the patent prints. I’d say the paper falls under the Cover category of paper.   The official pressed seal is also a nice feature.

I just received my Pirates coin this wknd.  The quality was actually very nice, I was pleasantly surprised.  The Octan coin will be next up.

They accidently sent me a duck print instead of the coin.

Not a Coin, but another VIP giveaway has opened:

Does anyone in here gamble on those giveaways? 
seems like a waste of points

I have for the SDCC figures but yeah, I never win stuff like that, so I don't even know why I bother.

Same here, just a waste of points imo.  Especially after reading the fine print.

    Bros out there just maxing their entries, haha.

I fell victim to FOMO for the Coins.  Also have been enjoying the Originals print series for a year or two.     I like to save my points just incase a cool set gets listed (Red brick, Creater Fountain, etc.)

3 coins and the case made me EUR 172, with EUR 27 worth of VIP points... >500% profit in a few days. Isn't that cool ?!

Great Scott!! Well done sir👍 Would be great if they hold their value.

Anyone grab the Pooh print before it sold out? It was clearly the best one, I managed to get the other one that had all the characters in it. At the time it was saying less than 50 available.
