Breaking Bad is coming to a close, but that's no reason for the fun to end: introducing the unofficial Breaking Bad meth lab Lego set.
Sold by Citizen Brick, the "Superlab Playset" has over 500 parts and comes in at a cool $250 (£160), which is equivalent to around about three grams of actual meth in the UK, in case you were interested.
The set includes Lego versions of Walter, Mike and both live and dead versions of Gus. "Bummed out that your favourite show is going off the air?" reads the Citizen Brick website. "Who knows what fun you'll cook up with this deluxe set."
This isn't the first time the world of Breaking Bad has been recreated in Lego. In 2012, redditor garyisyoudotcom unveiled "Bricking Bad", as coined by another redditor. The set had apparently been built by his friend, Nashville-based Brad Edwards.
If you're the kind of die-hard fan that's willing to shell out serious money on merchandise, the Superlab Playset may just be the thing for you. Don't expect it to turn up on your doorstep in a rush, though. "Due to the sheer awesomeness of this building set
[we] ship approximately 2-3 weeks after time of purchase," the Citizen Brick website states.
We've reached out to Citizen Brick owner Joe Trupia and will update when we hear back from him.
Update 16/08/13: A short Q&A with Joe Trupia is below
Wired.co.uk: Did you create the set yourself and what inspired you to make it?
Joe Trupia: We (Citizen Brick) had had some success with our Chemistry Enthusiast figurine back in January. After it sold out, we had lots of requests to create a lab like this. Given that we usually only produce custom figures and parts, creating a set this elaborate was a bit of a leap forward for us. One of our staff designers, Bryan McLean, built the model, and we were on our way.
Why does it take two to three weeks after purchase to ship?
We fill each order by hand. With 500 parts, plus three custom figures, it takes a little while to assemble.
Are you a Breaking Bad fan?
Yes, definitely. I'm sad it's ending. We made this set partially to comfort ourselves.
What do you think will happen to Walter at the end of this season?
I had a few theories, but as usual, they dissolved as soon as the season premier started. That's the mark of a good show, isn't it?
Keeping one step ahead of the fans?
