Replicate Yourself in LEGO ... for just $60K

Yesterday, Neiman Marcus announced some of the items in its 2008 luxury holiday catalog. Among the horse farms, golf courses and other ridiculously decadent gifts, one stands out in a very geeky way: send a few photographs and some other pertinent details and certified LEGO professional, Nathan Sawaya, will create a life-size LEGO replica of you.

The personalized model will only set you back $60,000 -- which is a bargain compared to some of the other items in the Neiman Marcus catalog -- and you'll always have a conversation starter when guests come over for dinner. But as tempting as it may seem, I think I'll just stick to replicating myself in true minifig glory.
