The Office LEGO Set Is Up for Preorder
LEGO has announced a new set based on the sitcom The Office.

The set, comprised of 1,164 pieces, costs $119.99 and is available to preorder now at Walmart and the LEGO Store. It will release on October 1.
LEGO Ideas The Office Set
Much like sets based on other sitcoms like Seinfeld and Friends (which has two sets: the apartments and Central Perk), this one is loaded with Easter eggs from the show. It includes a stapler in Jello and Kevin’s pot of chili, plus many more. Most of the minifigures also have an accessory; for instance, Angela has a cat and Michael has his “World’s Best Boss” coffee mug.
The set itself is comprised of the main office space, including the reception area and a few desks, plus Michael’s office and the meeting room. Anyone familiar with the show will recognize the office, and each of the 15 minifigures look remarkably like the characters from the show.
This set is part of the LEGO Ideas line. That’s a program in which LEGO enthusiasts can submit their own creations. If they’re chosen and the set comes out, the creators get a cut of the profits. Here’s the original submission for The Office set, if you want to compare and contrast with the actual product. They’re always at least a little different.
