What do thinking of these ‘Bricking Bad’ toys?
These ‘toys’ have been modelled upon the Breaking Bad series. Yes, the Crystal Meth lab, and all the characters of the series included; in fact, every last detail has been faithfully recreated in miniature LEGO format!
Crazy fun ‘eh?!
‘Bricking Bad’ was being marketed to the ‘LEGO’ company, but strangely they refused to see the the funny side of it all.
LEGO therefore turned down the opportunity, of what would no doubt have been lucrative sales, deeming association with such a ‘rip-off’ product as akin to sleeping with the devil.
The tweeters were twittering with indignation over the inappropriate nature of it all too (no doubt what eventually swayed LEGO’s final decision). All the social networking tribes set to work to shun ‘Bricking Bad’, before it could filter through to corrupt the young people of today!
I think this is totally off the mark, I mean what six year old’s toy box would be complete without such a unique item? How to cook Meth, isn’t it what every parent hopes their child will learn, and then recreate in their teen years! Don’t ridicule, it could be a good option in such an economic climate!
For me, I see this as an adult/collectors item, obviously! It was never likely to be marketed as anything more than a novelty item for a model shop, rather than a toy shop.
Yet, to be serious, with all the uproar this product has received you’d think the young of today led sheltered lives, instead of being the informed and savvy socialistas they really are.
Good God, they learn about sex from the ages of five now, so, Crystal Meth is far from off limits for topics of convo, surely!!!
Anyway, I’d have bought a ‘Bricking Bad’ set, I can definitely see the cheeky side of it! Can you?
Ahahaha, that’s kind of cool. Obviously not meant for children. I don’t buy too many physical things any more so probably wouldn’t have bought that, lol. Love the show though.
I know I am passed playtime, but if I saw it I wouldn’t be able to resist!
This is exactly the type of topic the slippery slope argument lives for 😉
seriously though, are we just now trying to protect our children from becoming corrupted?? I think it’s at least a few decades too late but better late than never I guess!
Agreed 🙂 Yes, we really are trying, and for me it is a little too late to rein in the rot of corruption! I suppose they thought Meth was a step TOO far, sex however is quite normal.
As long as it isn’t Jar-Jar Binx Lego’s, I’m okay with it… I may have stopped playing with legos once I hit puberty, but I always recombined what I had to create completely new things, and the breaking bad set would have also given me everything to model my evil genius lair
Haha! Unfortunately me too, but I admit that I’d be quite happy with that set of Lego now!
