102323 LEGO Direct Exclusive Murciélago - It was an hoax, but it doesn't need to be!

Yeah... after a few years thinking I'd take part of the April Fools' hoax, I finally decided to give it a try...
Now let's see if I still come up with something for the next year also.

So, unfortunately the Crowkiller's Murciélago is not making it into an official LEGO set yet.
I could point a dozen details (at least) on the image published, which can easily raise the suspicion it is an absolute fake, but I guess most of you have noticed them in first hand, if not all of you.

I'm sorry to disappoint you or to compromise TBs reputation for such "bad" joke, but at least I must confess I had some (little) fun with Photoshop while preparing it.



As the title of this post suggests, this may be an hoax but it doesn't need to be necessarily! There is always one way forward...
We just need to convince Paul to submit his model (if not all of them, or at least one at a time) to LEGO CUUSOO, so that we all can vote on it and show that the LEGO Technic fans community can also drive something out of the LEGO production lines in Billund.


PS: Partcount shown on the box image above, is just an wild guess of mine... I could have used the exact number (1724) but I didn't remember it was available, when preparing this hoax.


Edit:
This hoax has been referred here.
