‘following the success of the LEGO ideas central perk set, we wanted to develop another tribute to this iconic TV show with a focus on the famous apartments,’ said anderson ward grubb, LEGO set designer. ‘we worked directly from production photos of the set as well as watching and re-watching a lot of episodes so we could capture as many iconic moments as possible. one fun challenge was figuring out how to represent some aspects that change over the course of the show that appear in some episodes and not in others. I am looking forward to seeing if the eagle-eyed fans will spot them.’

the LEGO FRIENDS apartment set is complete with iconic features and props that any fan will recognize. it includes the classic moment when monica put the thanksgiving turkey on her head, the one where joey and chandler only had a canoe as furniture and when phoebe’s dollhouse went up in flames. other accessories from the show include the poking device; gladys, phoebe’s creepy art piece; the cheesecake that falls on the floor; pat the dog; the chick and duck, and many more. the set also gives fans the real sense of the original filming studio with set lights and allows you to display both apartments either separately or linked together with the hallway.

the set includes minifigures of the whole gang portrayed in some of their most memorable outfits. rachel is wearing her iconic plaid skirt; ross his too tight leather pants; monica endorses an apron; phoebe her classical floral look; chandler in a suit and loud designer tie; and joey wearing all of chandler’s clothes. for the first time, janice joins the miniature figures in a classic gaudy outfit.

the LEGO FRIENDS apartment set is available exclusively for LEGO VIP members from 19th may and from LEGO Stores online from 1st june, 2021.
