Lego Keyrings Are Really Kids Toys

By Owen Jones

Lego keyrings are a bright concept from the Lego Group and Lego UK. Lego keyrings are meant to be amusing, yet handy items for the Lego enthusiast both young and old. Some of the Lego keyrings can be difficult to acquire and are encouraging collectors to start a collection.

You can purchase Lego keyrings on web sites or at almost any Lego shop. There are tens of different kinds ranging from easy coloured building blocks to Lego Star Wars figures and they are not costly either.

Lego has been very smart with their keyrings because they are handy little gifts for all ages. They are fun objects, they do not cost more than a few of pounds or dollars and the numbers manufactured of some of them are really fairly small ensuring a healthy secondary market for collectors on Internet auction sites such as eBay.

At the moment there are about four dozen different Lego keyrings ranging from a simple, traditional, red Lego building block with eight stubs to Darth Vader from the Lego Star Wars figures assortment.

If you would like to begin a collection of Lego keyrings, go to one of the Lego retailers on the Internet to see what is obtainable and then go to eBay to find out what has already come and gone. You might be surprised at how a keyring that was purchased last year for a few pounds has trebled in value by now.

The most well-liked of the Lego keyrings are the small figurines. There are policemen, firemen, teachers, postmen, nurses, GP's, spacemen, Batman, Lego Star Wars figures, Lego Harry Potter figures. All kinds, in fact.

Some of the Lego keyrings are just sold in sets and some are sold at a cheaper price if bought in a set. There is a huge second market on eBay for the new Lego characters and the older ones too, so if you are interested in starting a new hobby buying and selling Lego figures, have a look in a Lego shop on the Net for special offers and discounted deals.

If on the other hand, you are not too interested in the Lego keyrings but would still like to be in on the action, you could check out the secondary market in Lego figures. Lego figures can be purchased separately, but they usually come in a package as with the Lego Star Wars figures or the Harry Potter sets.

One tip is that these figures are usually relatively costly, whereas the keyrings are not, so you could purchase the Lego keyring of the figure you want and cut the keyring part off. This is a fantastic way of building up your group of Lego characters at a fraction of the regular cost and the only difference is that you cannot remove the arms and legs from the keyring figures like you can from the more expensive other type.

Why would you like to take the arms and legs off anyway? They can only get lost or broken by removing them. No, go for the Lego keyrings instead.
