Seriously. This is a proof of concept that building materials can be made out of lunar regolith. They ground up a 4.5 billion year old asteroid chunk, mixed it with presumably some sort of epoxy slurry, and formed them into viable Lego bricks, and built some simple structures out of it. Genuine Lego - the Lego corporation was involved in making them.
The article shows fourteen 2x4 bricks in a case, the article wasn't clear how many bricks were made, though they'll be on display in fifteen cities, so we know the minimum. I REALLY hope they have a guard posted at the stores throughout their exhibition!
And yes, all the bricks are space gray.
The bricks are on display at Lego locations:
