Gearbox is great about giving them out 3 to 5 at a time at least once a month. Each code unlocks one golden key to use in Concordia. Each open of the chest will net you several items - like 4 purple pistols to choose from or 3 Oz kits.
TVHM can be brutal yes, but if you are in the mid 30's in levels then you will start out a wee bit ahead of the curve. We actually got to a point at about level 43 where we had to do some easy side quests and farm some areas just to go up enough to be at a matched level for the next part of the main story quest. So right now we just started at the dig site at level 48 and the area is level 48. It is tough, but it is a great fight. Playing co-op really is wonderful cause you got someone to revive you. But they make it harder since you have two players - so basically double the enemies in a particular region.
I fucking love the Oz kits and the jumping. The Veins of Helios is my favorite area cause of the incredible jumps and jump pads everywhere. My S.O. hates it but she was never a platformer like I was. 
You will need the jumping skills and an Acrobatic Oz kit to reach the areas necessary for Nel. We tried it on TVHM and we got our assess kicked. It was too overpowered. We had to take two other characters from a previous game in and complete it on their first play-through and then give it to myself via the locker in Concordia. 
Yeah the story is not as good and I really miss Zed and Scooter, but we are playing it a lot. My youngest sister just got an Xbox 360 over Christmas and we bought her Borderlands 1 & 2 GOTY editions as gifts. So we are looking forward to some 3 player co-oppy goodness here soon starting over with Borderlands 1. I think I will play a Siren!
Have fun. Chat again later on - not going to be on DU for a week or so but I will be back.
