With the abundance of LEGO-related artwork and architecture, it would appear that the building block toys are for all ages; however, perhaps certain projects like the Breaking Bad LEGO set should remain an 18+ theme.
The impressive LEGO Meth Lab comes with all the bells and whistles from the Breaking Bad set. Even the character faces look like they were part of a Breaking Bad LEGO collection. Small subtleties like Gale's coffee machine, the blue meth crystals and the intricate machines make this set piece an ideal shooting location should LEGO decide to do a stop-motion version of Breaking Bad.
The miniature building blocks give artists the opportunity to explore and create an endless array of intricate sets from Indiana Jones to Star Wars and now Breaking Bad. What's next, LEGO's The Wire?
