We thank you, Alperen Şengün and the Dapper Gods, for inspiring us to go big

Here are the details of the latest Nine Lives Lounge Cool Cats trade-in program!

The TL;DR

Do NOT send in any Cool Cats moments at this time

  • You either have to win a spot by random roll (via Google form that will launch on Friday), or gift a Sengun Icon challenge moment to NineLivesLounge to guarantee yourself a spot. The Sengun moment also counts as your trade-in moments, so no further action will be needed by you.
  • 1,000 spots are up for grabs — the minimum reward is $25 in Dapper balance and a Cool Cats pack. The top valued reward is a Tyler Herro Holo Icon moment. Prizes will be randomly awarded at the conclusion of the trade-in program. A little over 200 have already been claimed via Sengun Icon gifted moments to NineLivesLounge.
  • IF YOU DO TRADE IN A SENGUN, you are ALSO eligible to enter the random roll.
  • If you have TWO locked Cool Cats sets, you get a guaranteed spot in the trade-in, but must submit the required Cool Cats moments (see below). You can also apply for a random roll for a second spot.
  • You can do both of the above actions and apply for a third spot in the re-roll (this will apply to less than 30–40 NLL members).
  • Locked sets will get a trade-in discount.

TIMELINE

Fri, Feb. 17, 5 p.m. EST — Sengun Icon moment trade-in window closes. This will also serve as the deadline to lock two Cool Cats sets (and lock in a guaranteed spot for you).

Google form will launch, where NLL members can sign up for a chance at one of the remaining spots in the program.

***Only one spot is available per member, with the exception of anyone who trades in a Sengun Icon moment and/or locks TWO CC sets. You can sign up via the form to win a second spot, ONLY if you traded in a Sengun.

Wed, Feb. 22, 5 p.m. EST — Google form closes. Random spot winners chosen and announced. Trade-in window opens when winners are officially announced (start sending your moments to TS username NineLivesLounge).*

*NOTE: All moments collected for this trade-in program (including the Sengun Icon moments) will be burned as soon as the Top Shot burn tool is turned back on.

Wed, March 1, 5 p.m. EST — trade-in window closes. Depending on the amount of unclaimed rewards, spots are re-rolled for those who participated, OR we will eliminate those spots. Rewards announced later that evening or Thursday morning.

Rewards will be distributed within 2–4 weeks of the program conclusion.

REQUIREMENTS

Anyone who traded in a Sengun Icon moment have a guaranteed trade-in spot, and have already fulfilled their trade-in requirements (you do not need to send in any other moments).

For those who win a random spot, you gift the required moments to TS username NineLivesLounge. Here is the price of the program:

Locked sets will get a discount.

Unlocked sets: send any 5 Cool Cats moments to NineLivesLounge

Locked sets (or 2 locked sets): send any 4 Cool Cats moments to NineLivesLounge

REWARDS (1,000 total reward packages)

At the conclusion of the gifting window, each spot will be randomly chosen for a rewards package (think of this as a pack drop that you’re paying for in Cool Cats moments, and these are what the contents could be). The possibilities are as follows:

  • 100 spots: 10 locker packs each (4TT packs) + 1 Cool Cats pack (Drop 3 or 4)
  • 50 spots: 1 40TT locker pack
  • 50 spots: 1 CC Drop 1 pack
