That much makes sense--that someone actually DID make one in order to take the
pictures. But that does not prove or disprove that the item in question is or
is NOT a genuine Lego product.
My vote is that it is NOT a genuine Lego product. If it were, I would call it
the lamest excuse for a service pack I have ever seen.
Somebody just has too much time on their hands. I doubt that it is Troy, but
is likely someone he knows. :)
Perhaps my calendar is on the wrong month (August or April?) :~)
