Niche Toy: Implosion Toy Set
American Toy and Invention Co. is selling a kit that’ll let you build, implode, and rebuild a multi-story structure that looks strangely enough like the 5th Avenue Apple flagship retail space. I’m sure it teaches about the physics of demolition, but hey! Stuff’s blowing up!
The inventor, going by the name Advanced Engineering, is selling 4- and 8-story kits that both support rebuild and re-implosion.
He says he’s run out of funding to ship the product, but before his site went down due probably to intense interest, he was still selling a few kits for around $60.
We hope he gets enough cash money to keep making these toys, it’s a great idea and we’re sure he’d have a market for it.

That is the coolest toy kit idea i’ve seen! especially now a day’s…kid’s for some odd reason like to see stuff blow up, or blow thing’s up or catch them on fire and watch them burn. it’s odd yes…but they like it…heck…even adults do too. so if there is such a kit that allow’s this practice to be done safely with no one getting harmed or burned in any way or mom’s house products getting destroyed…then that is just too cool!
