Have any of you heard about these coins from Tuvalu?
Yep. There's threads about three of the coins from the series here, here and here.

Is this a good buy?
If you appreciate the history and like the designs of the coins, go ahead and buy them. If you're hoping for an investment "sleeper", I wouldn't recommend them. Perth Mint coins have a generally poor track record.
Personally, I try to avoid such blatant collector-oriented marketing. Tuvalu is a small Pacific island nation, located nowhere near the events depicted on these coins and with no historic connection to them whatsoever. The coinage of Tuvalu should be (or at least it should pretend to be) relevant to Tuvaluans, not aimed solely at foreigners who know little and care less about where Tuvalu is.
