The Beatles may have disbanded 55 years ago, and two of the members have passed on since, but the Beatlemania has been deeply entrenched in the pop culture that it seems to have spawned a life of its own. The band has become a brand, lending its name to Crocs, a turntable, a UNO deck, cooler bags, and even a bicycle. And now? A building toy kit.
The MEGA Showcase The Beatles Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles! Building Toy Kit recreates the legendary 1964 Ed Sullivan Show debut in glorious brick form. You get the iconic ‘Arrows’ stage, complete with three-mode LED lights, and four 2-inch (about 5 cm) articulated figures of the Fab Four—John, Paul, George, and Ringo—each ready to rock with swappable instruments.
It’s made of 681 pieces, fully compatible with other brick brands, and definitely not for kids. This one’s for grown-ups, preferably aged 18 and up, who aren’t afraid to hum Twist and Shout while snapping bricks together.
Warning: spontaneous air guitar (or air drumming) may occur during assembly.
Now that you have been “warned”, Beatlemaniacs may want to pick up the MEGA Showcase The Beatles Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles! Building Toy Kit from creations.mattel.com for 80 dollars.
