  • 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. A global hit, it is hailed by critics and watched by millions around the world.

"Chemistry enthusiast" (Walter White) and "chicken enthusiast?" (Gus Fring) Oh, man. That's cute.
 
It's clearly not aimed at children, but that's okay, it's standard practice to lie in news headlines. :p
 
It would probably be a good investment, in case it gets pulled. A collectors item to be. lol
 
hehe... 'Eh yo, gimme my BB toy crystal meth lab bitch!'

yeah no shit this isn't aimed at kids, the article is retardedly retarded. lol
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the makers of this toy paid the tabloids for "shock, horror!" Controversy coverage. It's actualy a fairly common scam; it's happened a lot with violent video games. They know that when stories like this come out the public rush out to buy this shit, because controversy sells.

The comments section seems to bear that out, a lot of people thanking them for the heads-up on where to purchase it.
 
It worked for the very first GTA game. They paid media slimebag Max Clifford a lot of money for this; happens all the time.
 
What's that you say? Daily mail manufactured a patently false headline to grab attention. That isn't the venerable news organization I know.
 
Children shouldn't be kept away from chemistry. Neither should adults. Chemistry is our friend! Ignorance is the foe. Ignorance and dogmatism.
