Dropship pilot Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi, everyone, Way back in 2001 I got some BIONICLE-themed pens as a gift. I haven't seen any mention of these on BS01 or the various unofficial online LEGO catalogs, so I figured I'd post here to see if anybody knows about these. The pens are pretty standard. They're made of glow-in-the-dark plastic and have pictures of Onua, Kopaka, and Tahu printed on them. (The printing isn't all that great.) According to the clip, they're made by National Design, a company that makes promotional pens. If I remember right, they came in a pretty nondescript plastic wrapper and were purchased at the Chicago LEGO Store. Does anybody know if these were sanctioned by LEGO itself, or are a one-off for the Chicago store? Gallery, when public. I know that these aren't very exciting, but I'm curious all the same. Thanks,Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Takua the Chronicler7 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm guessing that since they're made by a company that makes promotional pens, that they were made by the request of Lego to promote Bionicle, which was new at the time.

>_< Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah, seems like LEGO made lots of little-known promotional items.Should have a Barraki keycord around here somewhere, and I haven't seen all that many search results for that either.

Toatapio Nuva Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Those were available at Lego Shop @ Home for a short while. They were also promoted in some LEGO commercial leaflets, If I remember correctly.

Dual Cee Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is quite interesting: Monday, May 27, 2002 6 Toa Pens now at Zany Brainy LocationsBy Rich, BZPower AdministratorThe 6 Toa Pens have shown up in Zany Brainy locations in New York and New Jersey. Presumably the pens are now at Zany Brainy stores nationwide. They cost $14.99, which is the MSRP of the pens.
