LEGO key chains as souvenirs?

elazgar

Last week I was in Berlin as a summer trip and in the LEGO Store I saw this interesting key chain which I had never heard about and seen any picture.

Now I have found the Canada version on internet.

Have you ever seen them?

Do you know where are the selling more?

The Official LEGO Collectors Guide by a German company named Fantasia has an entire section devoted to LEGO Keychains. Jan Katanek of Germany collects them, and contributed his images to the guide.

There are likely hundreds, mostly Minifigs.

Now I have found the Canada version on internet.

I picked up a 'Canada' one from the Toronto store last Saturday; I'd never heard of or seen them before.

Found these last time I was in the Rockefeller Center, NYC store.

@elazgar & @GIR3691 - if you let me know the 'set' numbers (it should be on the back of the tag/card, a 6-figure number starting 85xxxx), I'll add them to the database.

Is it OK if I use an edit of your photos for the database entry? Thanks.

Rick! Cool to see you here. Wasn't sure what you go as here on Brickset.

@bluemoose- I'm going to try picking up a few of the magnet sets this week, so I'll let you know. Feel free to use my photo, or I can take new photos when I get some in-hand.

@bmwlego- Yep, I use this username for most sites.

I didn't see any at the Santa Clara store in CA. Cool finds for everyone else though!

@bluemoose - The set number is 853306. Of course you can use my photos, I´m posting a few more (front and back and better quality than the other one).

I'd like to have one of the Canada minifigs. It's been too long since I've been able to visit there.

Ah, those cost around 500 yen a pop at our local Lego retailers.

Have you opened one? Is it glued?

GIR3691

Since it's a 2011 product and all magnet sets are supposedly glued now, I imagine it is glued. I haven't opened one yet, but I might.
