Um no not too far, just right, just enough to have a good laugh. They should hook up keelhauling on the pirate ship models and sacrifice stones on the tribal Aztec type sets.

@Rain-man: Yeah, I had to check as well... if not just to make sure that Legoland was still safe. Very convincing pics! It should attach to the back of the police station. I had both models of the police stations and they were always bustin' crooks in my town, they could have used a chair like this.

I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!!

The perfect gift to give my snotty puke-faced little niece. That should set her straight.

Like a third grade class excursion to the chicken slaughter house to "see" where are food comes from instead of a cute farm, education can be frightening but that is why horror films are popular and profitable. There should be a whole collectors line. 1.Electric chair, 2.Guillotine, 3.Hanging, etc. Collect the whole series to build yourself your own semi automatic gun! Very, very, profitable.

This should be tagged as 18 and above. By the way, does it really connect to live wire (the grey wire behind the chair)?? And is it 2000V (top-left corner)?

@redkamel: rofl. Reminds me of a Bash.org quote.
"What would be a compliment for an angle greater than 90º?"
"My, you're looking mighty acute today."

This is terrible. When I was a kid we had to make Lego People torture chambers using our imagination. (And a couple of bottle rockets)

@ Leonard Nimrod,

Funny you should mention that, an art exhibit in my home town (South Bend, IN) had a holocaust exhibit that featured just that. The artist actually contacted lego to have them donate materials, but the artist lied about what the piece was going to be. In the end, the artist re-created holocaust scene featuring concentration camps and ended up creating packaging that made it look like an official Lego set. Suffice to say Lego was none too happy about it!

does electricity pass through it? Enough to make your friends hair stand up if you strapped his pinkie into the little seat?

No?

Then it doesn't go quite far enough.

Just remember to make sure the sponge is wet before putting it on his head. It'll make an awful mess of your Legos if you forget.

I dunno, letting kids know what happens if you're really REALLY bad is not such a bad idea.

I wonder if they'll bring out a soap & shower scene too :P
