LEGO has announced the release of the new LEGO F.R.I.E.N.D.S Apartments Set, coming on 1st June 2021.
The set allows fans of the iconic and beloved series to recreate their favourite scenes. The 2,048-piece set, features both Monica and Rachelās, and Chandler and Joeyās 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 Phoebeās dollhouse went up in flames.
Other accessories from the show include the Poking Device; Gladys, Phoebeās creepy art piece; the cheesecake that falls on the floor; Pat the Dog; the chick and duck, and many more.Ā 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; Rachelās iconic plaid skirt; Rossā 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 Chandlerās 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, āFollowing 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.Ā 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.Ā 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.Ā I am looking forward to seeing if the eagle-eyed fans will spot them.ā
LEGO F.R.I.E.N.D.S Apartments Set is available exclusively forĀ LEGO VIPĀ members from 19th May and from LEGO Stores andĀ www.LEGO.com/Friends-ApartmentsĀ from 1st June, 2021.
