While LEGO seems to stay relevant over its 65-year existence through sticking with its original concept, we know that technology changes at such a rapid pace that the average person can’t even keep up. Artist and designer Chris McVeigh wanted to resurrect this out-dated technology by giving this old-school technology the LEGO treatment and creating these eye-catching minimalist LEGO models.

Breaking Bad Lego Superlab Playset

Breaking-Bad-Lego-Lab-Set

This isn’t the most appropriate LEGO set to have around your children, but the Breaking Bad Lego Superlab Playset would be the perfect piece to add to your collection. With mass attention to detail, you’ll find that LEGO had nothing to do with this, so Citizen Bank took matters into their own hands. The lab is modeled after the original Gus Fringe industrial laundry lab and includes minifigures of Mike Ehrmantraut, Gus Fringe and Walter White in his cooking attire. It also contains over 500 pieces, so yo might need to pick up some of that blue rock to put it together (just kidding).

If you’re an avid toy collector and a fan of The Simpsons, then you’ve just found the Holy Grail. Not really, but you have found something pretty unique in the Zombie Bart. In a collaboration between Kid Robot and The Simpsons the 6-inch vinyl figurine of Bart Simpson has him lookin’ zombie-ish with his blue skin, eyes bulging, brains spewing and rugged ass clothing. Since we all love little accessories to come with our toys, the included spoon is for scooping his brains out – gross.

Enjoying an ice-cold brew poolside is always on point. If someone is willing to grab one for you every time you’re in need, well, that’s even better. But we doubt you’ll find someone to do that (unless she is your wife). Since she probably won’t even do that for you, pick up the Electric Amphibious Vehicle. It’s a drink (alcohol preferably) delivery vehicle controlled by none other than yourself. With the push of a button you can have this thing go from land to water all while you’re lounging your lazy ass in the pool. Hell, if anything even try’s to get in your way the on-board water cannon will take care of the job for you. It also features 4 beverage holders (available with land mode), a high intensity blinking LED light system, independent left and right wheel controls for 360° spins and a whole lot of fun!

Spy Hawk RC Plane

You have to admit that being a spy or investigator would definitely be one of the few “cool” jobs out there. You can’t tell us that while growing up becoming a spy wasn’t one of those at the top of the list. Getting to carry around specially made gadgets and tools made just for you, who wouldn’t want to acquire a job like that. If you are trying to fulfill a little bit of that dream or if trust issues are a problem in your relationship, look no further than the Spy Hawk RC Plane. Obtaining a built-in video camera along with auto pilot functions and a live video stream feeding right into the 3.5″ LCD screen on the remote – who knows what or who you will find. Oh, and did we mention it all saves itself on to a handy little 4GB SD card -clutch.
