    Interesting retail pack —Troy Cefaratti
   Would anyone from LEgo care to comment on this: (URL) has to be the oddest thing i've seen recently... Troy (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) Wow! Meijer had those on clearance? I'm really surprised... Steve (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: Interesting retail pack —Ken Koleda
     Even at $2.50 it still seems a little pricey to me. But, hey, who doesn't need more Yoda eyeballs? (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

        Re: Interesting retail pack —David Eaton
     (...) Wow! That's kinda odd, but rather dubious looking if you ask me. No set number, no part count (could be foreign I suppose?), wacky name for a set (heck, why make such a set?), and to date I can't think of any sets since the late 70's that have (...)

      (...) On that packaging I believe those logo choices, sizing and placements violate in-house design rules. a fake. but made me laugh. nice job. only, next time, remember that SYSTEM came off SW packaging years ago. :-) -Suz (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: Interesting retail pack —Christopher L. Weeks
     (...) [snip] (...) I vote for a pretty good fake. If you look at the reflections on the plastic surface of the blister pack and track them around, you can see one that traverses the price tag. How do they get the price tag under the plastic? And the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: Interesting retail pack —Conrad Frank
      (...) Well, if it is a fake, it appears that someone went to the trouble to actually make one, as it shows up on the table in these other shots in the same gallery: (URL) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

My vote is that it is NOT a genuine Lego product. If it were, I would call it the lamest (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

          Re: Interesting retail pack —Ken Koleda
      (...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: Interesting retail pack —Steve Bliss
     (...) I'm not seeing it. Maybe it's a defect of the price tag that happens to correspond to the reflection? (...) That's because it's not a plastic-glued-to-cardboard blister pack. The plastic is formed so that the cardboard back can slide in and (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.fun)

        Re: Interesting retail pack —Eric Brok
   Besides being well-done and funny, we can recognise a highly ironical message behind this joke: If mainstream TLG were to produce a useful, very generic parts pack these days such as TECHNIC ball joints, it would probably market it as a hot-themed (...)
