Thank you vey much for the information, good to know. Is this more on a "goodwill basis" or are all agents aware of this... just asking...

Unless they are taken, you should be able to book them in MMB. I've never had any issues booking 1A/1K although I can't remember trying to do it during purchase process, so I can't comment on the difference between availability during purchase and in MMB. You could call the Gold line to verify if they are indeed taken or available if you are keen on those seats.
Saying that, if you are on a 777, unless you are rather keen on having your handbag (or man bag or whatever) in the locker, I don't recommend 1A/1K as you get the full blast of galley noise and light- and 777-200 also has the loo noise on top of that (300 has the loos at the back of F cabin).
I highly recommend 2K on 777-200. It's the best seat as you have no-one behind you. (This does not apply to 777-300.)
