Does anyone have any information about how these were released?

Were they bundled with the game at some point, or sold separately?

There's was one on eBay which I am thinking about buying have bought, and I'm just curious.

It looks to be a variant of the Joy Tech Jolt Pack:

You can see one that is almost identical here:

I'm not sure if the Lego one is just a rumble pack or a rumble + memory pack.

Looking at the sticker on the following auction it looks to be factory applied. I wonder if it is a memory card + rumble pack combo that contains lego racers data.

It looks like the company name is Joy Tech Europe:

As of September 7, 2007, Joytech Europe, Ltd. was acquired by Mad Catz Interactive Inc. Joytech Europe, Ltd. designs, manufactures, and distributes video game peripherals in the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America. Its products include play stations, Xbox, digital LCD monitors, tuners and adapters, wireless and analog controllers, racing wheels, memory and power stations, digital optical cables, fusion charging station and controller skin, cooling fans, power grip, movie charge stand, carry cases, memory packs, racing grip, silicon gloves, shooters, and game pads. The company was founded in 1996 and is based in Windsor, United Kingdom with offices in France, Germany, Italy, Benelux, Australia, and Hong Kong

From the manual:

*The unlocked Circuits will be saved to a Controller Pak if one is
inserted. If you do not have a Controller Pak, Circuits can still be unlocked,
but the unlocked information will be lost when the Control Deck is turned off.

This makes me believe that the item listed above is a two in one. It is a memory card and rumble pack. This way you can save and have rumble.

I think it's just a rumble pack... Not much information about this item anywhere...
Seems there was a WWF branded one too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281345784285

Ah whatever, I just bought the LEGO one. A bit expensive for one item (~$8.31), but I have no N64 rumble packs and it goes well with my N64 LEGO Racers.

EDIT:

Could just mean a regular pak; I guess I'll find out when I receive it.

Heh, there's a LEGOLand in Windsor.

@mumboking: Thanks for the link! I'd love to know if it is just the rumble pack or a combo pack. I'm sure Shadow would say add it to the database as well.

Always eager to get things in the database, especially if there are images involved.

Well, it arrived today. I've just submitted it, but haven't taken pics yet and I have pics at the ready.
It is rumble only. It is a VERY tight fit to get it in and out of the controller.

EDIT: Pics submitted, hopefully they'll be approved in the right order.
