This was somewhat predictable ;-)
Unofficial, it seems: printed via Shapeways, using their "sandstone" (a.k.a. zCorp prints) material. Super fragile is zCorp usually, but you can soak it in superglue solution for toughness, if you felt so inclined.

We are seeing LOADS of these being printed at Shapeways, very popular.
The new full color process is already dipped in a cyanoacrylate based cure so they come pre-toughened.

Pre-toughened! That's awesome mr Duann S :)
(We had a lovely MyRobotNation bot, but his arms broke off immediately. But my Shapeways-printed Settlers pieces do seem much much tougher. Good to know.)

I ordered a sandstone-printed custom lego brick I made and it's withstood the punishment of 3 kids for weeks now, so I'm guessing pre-toughened.
