LEGO VIP Insiders/GWP Discussion

[RightDwigt]

I've got 1900 VIP points. I can get the coin now, redeem it with the shuttle. The shuttle should provide enough points to bump me back up to space probe value, but not until they ship the shuttle. Are we sure the probe isn't coming out tonight?

I know that spacemen come in a large number of colors, but I really wish the background had just gone with classic blue instead of silver. Looks less recognizable to me. 

I think this one will probably be the most expensive of the bunch, probably tied with castle. Castle would be more attractive if it had higher quality colors; using the peach color instead of gold made it looks cheap.

TWSS? 

I had posted the other day that because there has been no leaked pictures of the actual set it may not be ready to ship, but don’t see why they wouldn’t make the redemption option live. 

If you look at the sources one is a phone call to S at H, one is based on some getting an email that shows the probe while later emails did not, and the other website is just recycling that same info. Based on what happened with the Porsche probably, but also it is April 1st so who knows.

I'm still checking later tonight when the Shuttle goes on sale but I have seen the delay from many channels, many different versions of the text, on many websites and Facebook from users calling in and getting the same answer both in the usa and europe along with the lego lan network conveying it.  I agree they could have had redemptions available anyways and be on backorder for 30 days.  oh well at least we get the space coin now.

Space Logo coin available now at US SAH.

Sweet. I really didn't want to miss out on this one. Of the vintage lines, I consider myself more of a pirates fan these days, but I started off my Lego obsession with space!

Maybe Lego has a sense of humor and is playing an April fools joke on us.

I have exactly the same dilemma.

VIP Reward Center currently down...maybe too much traffic.

I literally got my coin right before it crashed. Reloaded the site after my purchase to see if it said "redeemed" and nothing is coming up.

Another set launch, another terrible website experience.

I was hoping as an April Fools day joke that it would work perfectly.

lol  Got a 502 Bad Gateway error and went to a white screen.  *facepalm*  This is beyond pathetic.  

Just got a second 502 on the payment screen.  *grrr*

Finally got my shuttle order to go through, kinda.  Clicked the last button to finalize the order and received an error.  Checked CC and I have a charge pending, so assuming it went through.

The Space Rocket Ride (40335) and Easter Carrot House were included as the GWP.  I also had a Sea Accessories set in my cart from earlier today just in case the shuttle went to back-order.

Previous orders page finally refreshed and order is confirmed there.

Mine went through with the Space VIP coin without issue. Canada SAH.

Weird, the Carrot House didn't show up for me. Guessing it varies not just by country, but also by warehouse.

Mine already sold for $99

That is crazy, by FAR the fastest to sell out, the rest lasted around 2 weeks. Also, as the prior ones have continued to sell for quite a bit on eBay, I suspect resellers have been buying more than the first couple.

Before the coins released, I was expecting they would sell for £20 max. I'm holding mine to sell as a collection of 5. I don't think its unreasonable to think a full set of 5 coins plus coin holder won't sell for £3/400.

I'm doing the same. I would have been very upset if I waited and missed this one.

this may not be good timing as the focus is on the coins, but i just noticed the Patent Prints have been seriously discounted.

i originally used 650 points to get the elephant print. now it's been reduced by 77%.

went ahead and redeemed 750 points for the limited edition of 5,000 german toy car print that was originally 3200 points I believe. couldn't pass on the yellow print of the original system brochure for 150 either.

i gave it away last year, but i just checked my history and it does say it was a 1st edition.

update: i do remember it saying 1st edition around the raised seal of authenticity in the bottom left or right corner. it was not numbered though.
