Hi all!

A unique offer for LEGO lovers - Chrome Silver Key Chain with "VIP" engraving.

It is based on the key chain 851406 https://bit.ly/3QSF4JL, which is without
any inscriptions.

I don't know exactly under what circumstances/conditions it was officially
distributed by LEGO (closed/open parties/events or whatever).

Perhaps you, your friends or acquaintances will be interested this unusual key
chain.

It may also be of interest to members of the LEGO VIP, who clearly don't
have it. This key chain will perfectly emphasize their status.

You can buy key chain in my store BrickUA https://bit.ly/3QDly3H

There are three sales available:

1. Without clearance, as is.

2. Design in the form of the flag of Ukraine.

3. Design in the form of the flag of your country (if possible).

LegoLand Discovery Centers have engraving machines behind the checkout counter
where you can pick out a keychain brick and they'll engrave any text you
want on it. I grabbed a 3001 from the PaB wall and had them put "3001" on the
side :p So these could be technically "official" while not being rare at all.

Fully agree that any that have had tiles placed on them should not be listed
as "new".

There is no evidence that these were created by LEGO. The LDC engravers are quite
high quality and reproducable, as they are essentially small CNC devices. They
are not hand engraved, at least the ones I have seen. Any CNC can make these
in a reproducable way without flaws. But also the strange font and the use of
V.I.P instead of VIP does not look at all like they are official LEGO.

I'm not sure about the "high quality" part — but maybe different locations
use different machines. This is how mine came out (LLDC Schaumburg):

That is worse than the ones I've seen.

Interesting that the 0 both have a mark at an angle of about 1 o'clock. I
guess this is where the program thinks that the 0 starts and ends.

They also look much nicer when rubbed with a little bit of wax or a crayon to
fill the groove with a complimentary colour.

Fully agree that any that have had tiles placed on them should not be listed
as "new".

Yes, "Used" - if individually modified in LDC. But I think not, so I posted as
"New".

The point they were making is where you have put tiles onto these to make the
flags, they are no longer new. You have used them.

I got it. I have a part where I placed tiles for country flags. And there is
a part where it hasn't been done. What state to condition? There are two
situations here

Include tiles with the keychain - do not put them on the brick. Pack each item
in its own bag to protect them from scratches. So I guess all parts could be
listed as NEW. You only have one that is USED - the one you used to make a picture
of it (or more if you used more).

Also they are being sold as new when in photos several of them have had other
bricks attached… (might be ones he’s keeping but things are a bit off)

I don't think they were made by LEGO. LEGO don't use dots in VIP when
they use letters (as opposed to using the stylized minifigure for the I). They
use VIP not V.I.P. or V.I.P on things like the recent collectable coins.

The 'official' Chrome Silver VIP keychain is more like a mini-baseplate
with the VIP engraving on the bottom.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=5006330

One of the other well-known Lego MOC sites has pictures of the item from multiple
angles.

I would double check the legitimacy of this piece before listing in your store
so you don't get in trouble with the Admins.

I got these keychains through several people.

I do not have full information about the conditions under which they were originally
received.

It is only known that there were about 100 of them.

I don't think one person would make so many identically labeled keychains
at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center and pay for it.

At the same time, it seems to me that the engraving here is of very high quality,
unlike those that are made in LDC.

I have seen such keychains for sale on eBay several times from sellers from other
countries. Different people cannot make the same identical individual engraving.

Based on this, I most likely assume that they were not produced individually
at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center, but were issued under some conditions by the
LEGO company.

I understand why you want them to be the real thing but it is the wrong reason.
There are several issues, some already mentioned.
The letter V is too far from the I, there is far too much space between these
letters.
There shouldn’t be any dots in between them or, if so, a dot after all letters
and all at the same distance.
So for me it is clear they are not Lego factory engraved.

Without knowing the history, I don't know who made them. LEGO made stranger
items than these, and a local modification (by LEGO for some event or promotion)
of a common keychain is always possible.

RESPONSE FROM LEGO CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THIS KEYCHAIN:

This beautiful keychain unfortunately went 'out of business' in 2020.
Until then, it was available to our LEGO®VIP members who had to redeem a code
in the VIP section on the website and then use said code in one of their orders
to be sent the keychain free of charge

  RESPONSE FROM LEGO CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THIS KEYCHAIN:

This beautiful keychain unfortunately went 'out of business' in 2020.
Until then, it was available to our LEGO®VIP members who had to redeem a code
in the VIP section on the website and then use said code in one of their orders
to be sent the keychain free of charge


Based on this validation it was a Lego item, I would file a request to have it
added to the Catalog.

Having it in the catalog makes it more discoverable and could ultimately increase
the amount you get for each one based on demand.

I'm sure based on events in your country it could be an opportunity for people
to show you their support.

Are we sure that the rep didn’t confuse it for the other silver brick vip keychain
that was released in 2020?

That is what I was thinking. Also, as far as I know, Lego always does VIP without
the periods. Something seems off to me here.

+1 I still don't think they are real official products. nothing is really
adding up, How come no one else has ever seen them if they were available on
lego VIP for me at least even if something is sold out on lego VIP it shows it's
sold out for ages before it finally gets removed. Wouldnt there be any official
images or reviews of the item?

I finally figured out what was bugging me about this. What is one thing that
Lego loves to do with any new variant? Change the PCC. The PCC seen on the
original images of this item is the same one as

Therefore, I do not believe these are official "V.I.P" (sic) items from TLG and
should not get their own catalog entry, but a custom part made by an individual
and should be listed as a custom lot. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Agreed but I don’t think it can even be listed since someone in a different message
linked the tos where custom engraved items cannot be listed

Good point, I forgot about that item in the TOS.

My opinion too, see my reply yesterday.
It doesn’t even say “V.I.P”, it is written like “V .I.P with extra space between
the V and the I.

Yeah this is super sketchy and I just hope that the seller actually got them
from someone else and didn't do it themselves and was merely uninformed but
I'm hesitant about that

No. It's plate 2x4, not brick 2x4.
And it was issued for the points of the LEGO VIP members, not by code, as in
my case. Review example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb6RLqazGeE

Customer Services are not known for their accuracy or knowledge. I find it incredible
for such a modern item that nobody else has ever seen one, that it wasn't
already added to the database here, that no other AFOL website seems to have
any record of the offer. If it was available as a VIP redemption then I would
imagine that somebody else would have some knowledge of it. There are so many
AFOL news type sites these days, but no mention of this gift available to VIP
members.

A far more plausible answer is that in the minute they had to reply, the CS rep
confused it with the widely known metal key ring that was available through a
VIP redemption for 900 points in 2020.
