Hi all.

Please help me get more information about the two sets of key chains.

1. Key Chain Chrome Silver Brick 2 x 4 with engraved lettering "VIP" made on
the basis gear 851406.

2. Key Chain Batwoman in a box with a book in cooperation with the company SAP
made on the basis gear 853953.

Under what conditions could these sets be obtained? What value can they be?

Thanks.

I'll add, the Batwoman with box looks to be special. How, I don't know.

And this is where Google is your friend. Susan Binda, the name on the Batwoman
box, was former Head of Marketing - Loyalty for Merlin Entertainments plc the
theme park company that runs Legoland Parks around the world. You can see Merlin
named with SAP on the box.

Putting 2 and 2 together I guess Merlin got personalised boxes for staff and
put a regular Lego keychain in at a company promo event and this was hers.

Value could be huge to anyone named Susan Binda??? Although given that she clearly
didn't keep it 1st time maybe not.

Gotta love the internet sometimes.

Thanks for the needed googliness here

Always enjoy learning new things (most new-things, anyway)

I know that (at least some) LegoLand Discovery Centers have a machine that can
engrave a 2x4 brick keychain with whatever letters you want. It might have been
a more official giveaway though, hard to say if the font is a perfect match.
The LLCA engraving on my red 2x4 brick is rather sloppy.

Hi all.

Exclusive keychains I put up for sale.

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1358954

Does anyone know the history of their origin? Or do you have any thoughts on
this?
