Was gonna order the Lego set, then saw this Elon art this morning. Feeling torn!
Trying to decide between Art & whiskey or Toys & whiskey ? for a birthday present.
What's your immediate reaction? Which would you go with?
FWIW the recipient would appreciate either for sure.
Art:

the art is pretty cool . but also toxic . the novelty will wear off . the Shuttle will provide task and observation

Toxic? How so? And that's the thing about novelty.. it's new when it's new, and then it wears off a bit.. can't help that. But it'd be pretty sick initially, IMO.
He has a lot of Lego sets. Mostly cars. Plus one NASA rocket and another that's a windmill.
He's also a tech company CEO and one of his company cars is a modified Tesla Model 3 annnnd he's a fan of taking some risks to make things happen. Plus the image comes from a podcast session Elon did with Joe Rogan, which is Also cool af and a bit up his alley.
Until I saw the art this morning, the toys were the clear winner.. now I'm not so sure. Hmmm...

When.
~1998.
I ordered the art last night because it was on sale & vibes well with his interests And is a bit of a fun motivational piece of tech CEO art to go on his otherwise almost completely blank white office walls. I might still Also order the Legos, or maybe his wife will, or maybe I'll order them for Christmas - either way he'll likely have both before year's end. Also, the art should arrive 100% in time before his birthday, the Legos? Maaaaybe - they're back ordered and scheduled to ship out 3 days before his birthday, and that shipping date quoted is a Sunday, so the chances of receiving the Legos before his actual birthday are slim. Just one more reason to have gone with the art as a safe bet.

Even though it's the world whiskey of the year for 2020?
I bought 18 bottles, 9 on behalf of others, a few gifts, the rest for me. He bought 4 I think and drank 'em, I still have 6 and haven't opened one yet. After his birthday I'll have 5 for me and 2 more for gifts that will be delivered this Summer probably.

Do not get me wrong -- I like a shot or two of any good single-malt as well as the next whisky fan.
It is just that a box full of random Legos can still occupy my attention for hours.

and a keg of Jim Beam, please and thanks.
Your friend might appreciate the Lego.

The birthday boy? Turning 39.
He has Most of the Lego car kits. One he doesn’t have is approx $500.
His youngest is actually a baby at 12.5 months.

Right now today? No, probably not. I've hardly been there during Covid. I DID go down 3 evenings in a row the weekend before last, though, then once more last week.
