A $60,000 Lego gift



One of the most anticipated holiday catalogs is always that of Dallas-based retailer, Neiman Marcus. The colorful, upscale book is famous for its over-the-top fantasy presents (with their equally over-the-top price tags). Financial meltdown or not, Neiman Marcus issued their 2008 Christmas book today.

As if $2 trillion has not evaporated, Neiman Marcus offers luxury gifts such as
  • A NM limited edition 2009 BMW individual 7 series sedan: $160,000
  • An authentic Guinness home pub: $250,000
  • All 18,400 of the 45 RPM vinyl records that were listed on the Billboard Top 100 Rock and Pop charts from Jan. 1, 1955, through Dec. 31, 1990: $275,000
  • An entire Dallas Cowboys Texas Stadium end zone: $500,000
  • A Jack Nicklaus custom designed backyard golf course: Beginning at $1,000,000
  • An exclusive luxury wedding at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California: $1,300,000
  • A stable of 12-15 thoroughbred horses from the world famous Three Chimneys Farm: $10,000,000

But if you lost too much money recently, you can always buy some Lego toys for your loved one. Acclaimed artist Nathan Sawaya fills his New York studio with more than 1.5 million LEGO bricks, and he can sculpt anything out of them. Send in detailed photos and measurements, then Nathan gets to snapping a one-of-a-kind, life-size sculpture in LEGO bricks. For only $60,000.
