Hey everyone. I am the culprit as Steve Bliss has mentioned.
Here are the details.
The package was from some kind of folding screwdriver. The plastic cover slips
right off easily, there was only a staple holding it in position. I kept the
package for a while intending to make a gag-gift or something, not necessarily
Lego. One idea I had a long the way was some really unwanted Lego package,
like say... one or perhaps two Timmies. Or maybe like a back of 4 2x4 red
bricks.
So, our MichLug meeting was upon me and I had very little in the way of MOCs
to show. Steve wanted these eyeballs, so I sacrificed a little sleep for a
laugh.
It wasn't too hard to do that. I spent a little time on finding a font that
looked similar to the font on the land speeder box. I wasn't too careful with
sizing or anything on the logos. I somewhat intentionally did not put on any
set number. In the photo it looks a little large due to the fact it is my 6 yr
old son who is holding it. I did not glue the page to the cardboard original
sheet, and didn't bother with glossy paper or any of that. The price stickers
are original and are on the outside I do see how one could appear to be on the
inside of the plastic.
I was pretty sure no one would run off to Meijer and spend time looking for
these. I apologize if anyone lost sleep over fearing they were not, say, Star
Wars Lego 'complete.' If I made people laugh, it was worth the effort.
