I just found this over on Flickr uploaded by user Piroshi Lego.  I have seen a few of these keychains in the past, but this is the first time that I have seen the manufacturing information of the gift box that it came in.  I wonder how many of these exist?  If you get a chance, check out his Flickr page, he also has a bunch of Large Scale Brick Built Minifigures

Here is the front of the box and the keychain.  It looks like whomever won this award, actually used it which gives it some character!  You can see larger images over on his flickr page.

Here is the back of the box as well.

I have only seen 2 or 3 of these ever so far.  As you all probably know, these figures are only given to Lego Store employees and cannot be obtained anywhere else.  So they are super rare.  I just found this one here on eBay.

I have tried to get one of my local store employees to part with his, but no such luck.  🙂

I am still looking for one if anyone wants to part with one for a reasonable price.

Thanks for looking.

This is really an exciting find, so I ended up staying up  extra late tonight to get the changes for this completed.  I do not think I have seen a collection this large since Lluis Gilbert sent me pictures of his collection!

Back on Novemebr 1st, I noticed this post on Facebook by Marc-Andre Bazergui aka bazmarc of some of his “Special Minifigures” on his FaceBook page.  bazmarc entitle this image “LinkedIn LEGO style” and I really thought how fitting that the title was and how much fun it must be to go to these conferences and collect all of these.  This is probably years of collecting!

Lego Employee Minifigures Linkedin Style from Marc-Andre Bazergui aka bazmarc

I reached out to Marc-Andre about this photo and he was kind enough to provide me some better pictures of the figures that he had that I had never seen before.  I will add those pictures below.

Marc also suggested that the employee list would make more sense if the figures did not have a price attached to them since they cannot be bought.  I thought that was a great idea and I changed the program that creates these lists to just put “NOT SOLD ANYWHERE” on these figures.  I also removed the price charts for these figures as well.

This change really makes more sense since no one ever sells these figures and they are usually passed between business partners and friends at conventions and other AFOL event.  I had originally attached an arbitrary price to these figures that did not have any sales history since these are never on eBay or Bricklink.

I have added the five figures to the list of Employee figures here.

Of obvious note are the employee minifigures that are always rare and difficult to find all of the unique figures.  But he also has a few gems in this collection that I have never seen before.

Found a few more Lego Employee Minifigure Business Cards over on Flickr – post if you have any?

I just found these over on CakeinMilk Flickr account.  He has a couple that I do not yet have in my Price Guide.  I have found a bunch of these lateley, so I am starting to wonder if they are suing these again, or if they never stopped using them at all.

In particular, I do not have Sanne Dollerup Lage.  So she will need to be added to the list here.  It is currently sitting at about 50 and I have a few more to add.

Comment below if you have any of these that you would like to share, or if you know of any others.  Just an FYI, the price on these is rather subjective as no one ever sells these guys, they are just given away at shows.  I have only ever seen a few of these sold or traded.  Mostly just given away at shows.

cakeinmilk has another interesting photo of the Doctor Who minifigures in the lego Dimensions game.  I really want to know when we are going to start getting more of these characters?  You can see the larger pic of these here.

This mimics the image that Lego posted a few months ago to their Facebook page.  We saw this earlier here.

Thanks for looking

Lego Carsten Rasmussen Employee Business Card

I was recently sent this new Lego minifigure employee business card that I was not previously aware of.  This is an employee minifigure for one Carsten Rasmussen and the outfit is a little more updated when compared to some of the other ones that we have seen in the past.Lego Employee Business Card Carsten Rasmussen

Here is a link to Carsten’s Linked in page to see that he is the Senior Vice President Shopper Marketing & Channel Development at the LEGO Group

https://www.linkedin.com/pub/carsten-rasmussen/3/97/473

This is one of the better minifigure creations that I have seen so far and I will be adding him to the list of the other 45 or so of these that we have been able to locate so far.

http://www.minifigpriceguide.com/EMPLOYEES.0.html

I think that the likeness is pretty good.  What do you think?  Please note that his shirt and his collar are hanging out on the torso print.  Pretty neat huh?

I was notified of this figure by Eric C via email a few weeks ago and I have been meaning to get this one posted.  It appears that we have two varieties of this one.  One with a flesh head and one with a yellow head.  Here is the other picture.

If you have any of these that you know of or have seen that I do not have, please send me a picture and I will get it posted and added to the list.

I have written about alot more of these over the past year here.

Lego Store Female Employee Minifigure Variant

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

I received a picture of these wto figures from a reader and it appears to be a female variant of the recent Employee Minifigure that we have seen.

Here is a picture of both of these that was submitted by the reader.

Lego Male and Female Employee Minifigure

 

From the little that I have been able to find online, this figure does not appear to have been a promo or a giveaway, but rather a perk for the Female Lego Store Employees?  I also heard that it was supplied without the head and that the head was just chosen from the pick a figure bins.  However, no fact here.  Just rumors.  Do any of you know anything about this one?  Please let me know.

Obviously the Legs are the same.  But the Torso appears to be unique and new.  The lines on the front are curved and the neck and the badge appears different as well.  Finally, the figure does not appear to have arm printing.

Here is the promo package that appears to have been a giveaway in some of the European countries.  I am not sure if it was a giveaway in the US.  I just picked one of these up on eBay for 8.99  🙂

Lego Male Employee Minifigure Promo

Once I get a little more information on this one, I will add it to the price guide.

If any of you have one of these, please let me know if you are interested in parting with it.  🙂  I would love to add one to my collection.  I will make you a reasonable offer.  🙂

As always, please like my page if you get a chance.

I recently picked up a Lego Kids Fest Minifigure from 2010 on eBay and I was doing some research about other Kids Fest minifigures when I came across this Minifigure.  If you know more about these minifigures, please comment below or send me an email.  shawn@minifigpriceguide.com  – Also, please contact me if you have one to sell.  🙂

Lego Employee Exclusive Kids Fest Minifigure

It is a Lego Employee Minifigure that appears to be a part of the a giveaway to Store Employees at the Kids Fest recently in 2013?  I am not sure about the details.    If anyone knows more about this, please comment on it below or send me an email to shawn@minifigpriceguide.com

EDIT and UPDATE:  It appears that these were give to store employees that worked more than 40 hours in a 5 day period.

I contacted the user on Flickr that had this minifigure posted and he was not aware of its history either, just that it was an eBay find.

Incidentally, here is the figure that I picked up on eBay.

What I found most interesting about this figure is that it is very similiar to another one that I have been watching as well.  This one that is on Bricklink.  I originally thought that they were the same, but the are not.  The name tags are on different sides of the shirt.

I do nor have any information on this one.  Is it a variation, or was it given away at a different event?

Obviously, we can add this as a third minifigure that looks like it will be impossible to find anywhere along with the Zombie Store Employee Minifigure that we wrote about earlier here as well.  I will be adding this new variation above to the price guide shortly.

Lego Employee Zombie Minifigure 2015 Managers Conference

This Manger Minifigure was originally found on an AFOL Facebook page and first posted by the Brick Fan website here.  I have heard that this one was given only to store Managers and I have only seen one of these show up anywhere?  Does anyone have one of these?

I found one more of these here.
