A LEGO set based on the iconic NBC sitcom The Office is now available for preorder.
Called LEGO Ideas The Office set, the new 1,164-piece set brings the Dunder Mifflin office to life with a record 15-character minifigures and iconic accessories such as Kevin’s popular pot of chili and the stapler in Jello.
Who designed the LEGO Ideas The Office set?
The set is based on the design created by JaiJai Lewis, who is a big fan of the show. Lewis submitted his original design for the set on the LEGO Ideas platform back in 2014 and reworked it twice before it was finally approved.
“The Office is my favorite TV show, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched it. I have all the bobbleheads, so many T-shirts, I’ve been a huge fan for years! I love it so much that back in 2014, I created the very first ‘Lego The Office’ set to hit 10k supporters here on LEGO Ideas,” Lewis wrote in the description of his latest LEGO Ideas entry in 2020. “Unfortunately, it wasn’t chosen but I never gave up. Last year, I submitted a new and improved design, which hit 10k supporters in 2 months! That design wasn’t [also] approved but I spent months tweaking my design. They say third time’s the charm right?”
In a recent tweet, Lewis wrote that working with LEGO on the LEGO The Office set has been “a dream come true.”
Yes I am so proud to work with @LEGO_Group on the ‘LEGO The Office set’, it’s been a dream come true!
