Insights

A short-run DOTS promotional release from 2022, Pencil Holder (40561) was distributed as a gift-with-purchase and is now scarce off-shelf, and while its colorful tiles and desk-display utility support modest collector interest, the discontinued DOTS theme and absence of minifigures limit longer-term upside.

Set Facts

The retail value of the sate as listed on LEGO.com was $14.99.
The GWP promotion was originally release in Europe.
The holder itself is designed in the shape of a yellow pencil with an eraser on the end, making it both a holder for pencils and a holder shaped like a pencil.
