Outrage as toy company creates 'crystal meth lab' for children with Breaking Bad play sets. (Daily Mail)
Children can now build their own drug dens with a shocking new play kit inspired by TV show Breaking Bad.

The sell-out £160 kit, branded 'SuperLab', lets any child or adult recreate Walter White's notorious crystal meth lab.

Complete with protective masks, drug paraphernalia, figurines and a version of the car from the show, infants can even reenact scenes from the series.

The toy looks similar to a classic Lego set, although it is not connected to the Danish company in any way and was made by a separate firm.

In spite of the Mail's tabloid shrieking (I love it when the first word in a headline is "outrage"!), the $250 set - which, btw, is now sold out - is a product from a firm which markets limited edition sets to "nostalgia benders" and "jaded hipsters" - not to children.

I don't think any parent would spend $250 in one pop on Legos, unless it was the Star Wars death star set or something that the kid begged for incessantly for days.
 
I love it, I want one!! This is not meant for kids anyway :)
