DALLAS (Reuters) - Baby Boomers, this Christmas season unleash your inner child and empty your bankbook with jewel-encrusted Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head toys at $16,000 a pair.

Retailer Neiman Marcus on Tuesday rolled out its annual parade of seasonal excess and eccentricity in its Christmas Book, which is chock full of luxury gifts that harken to the childhood joys of years past.

For those who pedaled a Big Wheel tricycle, there is the high-powered "Las Vegas Trike" -- a $65,000, three-wheel motorcycle with a long and mean profile, a thundering 330-horsepower engine and a paint style dubbed chameleon because it changes color in varying lights.

Fans of the Jules Verne novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" can travel 1,500 feet under the sea in their own personal submarine dubbed an "Underwater Aviator" for its airplane-like shape, with wings that maximize speed and maneuverability. Oh, the price is $1.7 million.

The air ships of yesteryear can be had today, for a tidy $10 million. The Zeppelin company is offering an 8-ton sky gem that seats up to 12 and can fly slow and low for 24 hours.

1. How did I know that's what this thread was about?

They had a feature on the local news this morning. It's always a big deal here when Neiman Marcus releases the X-mas catalog.

Don't forget the $125,000 Maserati!
