Insights

Released in 2008 and retired in 2009, the Keyfob Transponder, a Mindstorms NXT accessory tied to legacy RFID hardware, benefits from a short production run that creates some scarcity, and it faces limited demand and thin market depth because functionality depends on obsolete components.

Set Facts

The set includes 10 additional keyfob transponders for use with the MINDSTORMS NXT RF ID Sensor.
It requires the MS1048 RF ID Sensor, which is sold separately, to use the transponders.
The additional keyfob transponders are designed to be used with the complete LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set (#8527).
