I saw this same thing up on ebay a few weeks ago.  It definitely looks like
something that Lego made--it's got the Make and Create graphics on it, and I
couldn't spot a set number on the pictures.  Here's the ebay link (auction now

Thanks for finding this, looks like a legitimate product to me. Given that it

The Sam's Club price is $150 ~ $160.  If you're not a member, you can download a
guest pass (Google it) and pay a 10% premium.  Sam's is cash or check only.
BTW, its a big box.

(...) In some states (including California) you may not have to pay the premium. Someone must have filed suit because the fine print in the last newspaper guest pass stated that there was no surcharge in CA and a couple of other states IIRC. Which (...)
