A 'Friends' Lego set will be there for you just in time for the show's 25th anniversary
Who cares if the rain starts to pour? Lego is there for you when you’re stuck indoors with an all-new Friends set just in time for the show’s 25th anniversary in September. This 1,070-piece recreation of the NBC sitcom’s iconic meeting spot —Central Perk — goes on sale Sept. 1 at Lego stores as well as the company’s official online shopping portal.
The bright idea for a Lego-sized Central Perk replica appropriately came from Lego Ideas, the company’s crowdsourcing platform that allows toy fans and pop culture junkies to pitch their ideas for the next movie or TV to be immortalized in brick form. The concept for a Friends-themed set started there and grew into the lovingly detailed 4-by-11-by-8-inch model on display in these images.
Central Perk has been recreated down to its smallest detail, from a stage from where Phoebe can croon ‘Smelly Cat’ to a menu board with all the caffeinated goodies to Gunther’s domain behind the counter.
In addition to all six of your favorite Friends (plus Gunther), Lego’s version of Central Perk comes with show-inspired accessories like coffee cups, TV studio light rigs, Chandler’s laptop, Phoebe’s guitar and a cookie jar. Unlike your job, this set’s no joke... and with a $59.99 price tag, it also won’t leave you broke.
Friends is currently streaming on Netflix. Look for Lego’s Friends Central Perk set on Sept. 1 at Lego stores or the official online shopping portal.
