The LEGO Friends Apartments Set helps fans of the 90s sitcom recreate the dwellings of Monica and Rachel and Chandler and Joey down to the last detail, plus the hallway that connects their apartments in between. With over 2,000 pieces, the building block set helps fans recreate favorite moments from the hit series that involve Thanksgiving turkeys, and Phoebe’s dollhouse, as well as the chick and duck.
The kit also includes set lights, so that fans can appreciate the angles of the apartments just as in the TV show. LEGO set designer Anderson Ward Grubb says that the team recreated the set based on production photos and rewatching the episodes to get the elements just right.
The set will be launching first for LEGO VIP members this month before it heads to the public online and in stores.
