LEGO F·R·I·E·N·D·S Apartments (10292) Official Reveal!
The LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) debut almost two years ago and it was so popular that it sold out almost everywhere within a couple of days.
LEGO knew that the fans were hungry for 90’s nostalgia and here we are at the official announcement of spiritual sequel of that fan project, the LEGO F·R·I·E·N·D·S Apartments (10292) set!
The set will feature both Monica’s and Chandler’s apartments albeit only the living and dining room portions. The bedrooms were conveniently left out for obvious reasons.
In the sitcom, the three main locations were usually the Central Perk cafe, the apartment Chandler and Joey share and the apartment that Monica and Rachel share and this allows us to recreate all the iconic scenes and episodes.
Just from the box images, episodes like The One with Ross’ Grant with the painting of Gladys and The One With The Cat with the wooden canoe.
The full cast is back for this set with all brand new exclusive printed torsos. Chandler’s long-time on-off girlfriend with the nasally voice, Janice, is the new addition to the set.
This set will consist of 2,048 pieces which is almost double of the LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) and will have a recommended retail price of SGD$249.90 / €149.99 / USD$149.99 / £134.99 / 259.99 AUD / 199.99 CAD / 1499.99 BRL.
The LEGO F·R·I·E·N·D·S Apartments (10292) set will be available for LEGO VIP members from 19th May and to the public from June 1st.
THE ONE WITH THE LEGO® FRIENDS APARTMENTS SET
11th May 2021: Today, the LEGO® Group announces the new LEGO F.R.I.E.N.D.S Apartments Set – which allows fans of the iconic Warner Bros. TV series the chance to recreate their favourite scenes. The 2,048-piece set, features both Monica and Rachel’s, and Chandler and Joey’s New York apartments, plus the adjoining hallway.
Following the hugely popular LEGO Ideas Central Perk set, which was released in 2019, the LEGO Friends Apartments set is complete with iconic features and props, such as 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.
Additional features of the set include; new minifigures of the whole gang, in some of their most memorable outfits; Rachel’s iconic plaid skirt; Ross’ too tight leather pants; Monica in an apron; Phoebe in a classic floral look; Chandler in a suit and loud designer tie; and Joey wearing all of Chandler’s clothes. And for the first time ever, Janice will also feature as a minifigure in a classic over-the-top gaudy outfit.
Anderson Ward Grubb, LEGO Set Designer commented “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. 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.”
LEGO® The Friends Apartments set is available exclusively for LEGO VIP members from 19th May and from LEGO Stores and www.LEGO.com/Friends-Apartments from 1st June, 2021.
