Let's face it: your kid probably doesn't need another set of Star Wars-themed Lego — especially since there's a lot of damn cool stuff going on in the real world. Like science. Science is cool. Lego has put together this $20 "Research Institute" set to let young'uns act like scientists. And the figurines are all women, to boot! It's just too bad it looks like everyone else is having fun other than the chemist.
