LEGO special GWP in LEGO Store Budapest only with Neil Armstrong footprint

[jackalope]

Unbelievable. LEGO did it again. If you buy lego 10266 in LEGO Store Budapest you get a special tile with Armstrong footprint on the moon....

[UPDATE] it seems the LEGO Store in Budapest did it and asked to LEGO the authorization. And LEGO give them it.

LEGO Store Budapest made an exclusive "set" and gives it as a gift with every purchase of the set 10266. They told me it is not an official LEGO set, they produced it themselves

Anyway LEGO approved it...so it's LEGO after all.

I kind of understand the limited edition thing but wouldn't this have been much more fun if it was minifig sized. Then you could use it in MOCs

They have also done it to different tiles. See the BL post.

Damn it, another exclusive I will never get to own.  I want one of those! 

(By the way, just how big is the footprint?? Some photos make it look like a 2x4 tile, the bricklink link looks like a 4x3 or 4x4 tile?)

Also isnt the famous footprint photo Buzz aldrins footprint not Armstrong's ?
