Outrage as toy company creates 'crystal meth lab' for children with Breaking Bad play sets
• 500-part set has all the drugs paraphernalia used in hit American series
• Lego refused to sanction or endorse the toy, which was made by independent company Citizen Brick
• Twitter users blasted £160 toy as an inappropriate plaything
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.
Outraged commentators took to Twitter to speak out against the bizarre toy.
Jeff Myers tweeted: 'Made for children raised by parents who should know better.'
Jacques Gonzales added: 'Definitely not for kiddies!'
The drama, in its fifth and final series, follows chemistry teacher Walter White on his journey to raise money for his family's future when he is diagnosed with lung cancer.
The schemer from Albuquerque, played by Bryan Cranston, enlists the help of a former pupil Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.

'Bricking Bad' allows children - or adults - to construct the industrial meth lab set up by Walter White and drug boss Gustavo Fring.

Can’t Lego sue them for copyright infringement? After all, they’re using Lego’s patented “lock block” system. And they’re little characters are exactly like Lego characters, right down to the little knobs on their heads to snap little plastic hats on.
there ARE other adult toys that provide more entertainment
Maimway Toys!
That is BRILLIANT!
I agree with everything you say except kids not knowing what “Breaking Bad” is. Different world now.
Yeah, if not now, soon enough probably.
Well, that’s their parent’s fault, or maybe the fault of other kids’ parents if they are learning about it from friends.
The Lego patent expired in 2011.
There was another great SNL skit with Aykroyd hocking kids Halloween costumes like Johnny Human Torch (a bag with kerosene soaked rags and safety pins to pin the rags). My favorite was Johnny Invisible Pedestrian which was a completely black outfit which kids could wear at night.
When safety concerns were brought up he said, “Hey I don’t think any kids gonna run down the expressway knocking on car windows asking for candy.” He also pointed out there was a disclaimer on the costume that it was “Not for blind kids.”
On a lighter note, remember, before he became a drug lord, when Walter White just loved to roller disco?:

They simply couldn’t have made Breaking Bad with any other actor. Bryan Cranston was typecast as a lovable fool and they took him and slowly twisted him into a vicious killer.
Funny thing, the kid who plays the son joked that at the end of the show, Walt would wake up next to Lois in Malcom in the Middle which was my idea.
I also like the MinM episode with the body builders.
Beer, keyboard etc.......
best. show. ever.
the lego models look great.
not lego..... :-)
Uh.... How many ‘children’ are watching Breaking bad, really?
This is just an attempt by a rogue toy company to be over the top and outlandish, thereby trying to create a collectors niche.
And there are these adult toys you can show your friends.
