I've picked up the freebies but haven't started cashing in yet, however it looks like Onna/DS9 and Grym/Drozana are the actual vendors for cashing in the tokens as well as giving the free boxes.
My question is, buying the boxes is a week long event. Do we also have to cash in tokens and obtain our items during that week, or will the vendors stick around and be useable after it is over?
(Note: I did check the blogs and other threads on the topic, but couldn't find if this issue had been addressed.)

A dev said in a GNN thread that you can access this store after the 8 day promotion. Just no more boxes available.
I did, and I will repeat that for clarity.
The ability to open the store and purchase prizes from by selecting the "Use" option on a token or double-clicking them will not go away. The limited duration is for the ability to obtain boxes; the limited duration does not apply to opening boxes you have or spending tokens you have.
Good to know, I too was wondering this. Honestly, this event is fantastic. great job.... and if you extend it just 1 more day, I may just give ya another $100
Thanks for the clarification! I took "the vendor will go away" to mean the tokens would stop working.
Since they have a "built in" store like lobi crystals that means you can keep tokens to give a shotgun or a ship or whatever to characters that you create in the future. Nice!
Too late.
I saw a Youtube video last Thursday where someone was giving information about event; it might have been Parallel Universe Gamer or something like that. He checked the exchange rate and it was 255:1 at the time of the recording. I have never seen it drop below 271:1 which is at the rate where I sold some Dil. I still have Dil on the exchange that is listed for a 265:1 exchange rate.
If you want Zen, then I recommend you sell at the going rate... whatever it is. If you really have 12 million Dil to dump, then just be aware that there is a limit on how much Zen you can purchase using Dil, which is 5,000 Zen per transaction. You can have 5 active transactions at once. That means at most you can only trade 25,000 Zen until at least one of your transactions has been fulfilled.
After the Phoenix Pack event ends, the exchange rate will go back up especially since the Infinity R&D Promo Packs go live.
Don't wait, the exchange is heading back up.
