Is it just me (based in Ireland) no pre order options available

This looks really good, and I'm impressed they included so many characters. Strange they didn't include Andy, though. That's weird. Now I don't know whether to ask for this or 76956 for Christmas.

I don’t get why Pam has brown hair when she’s clearly a red-head (started watching the show again last night!)

Andy isn’t included, as per the set description. "
Huh. Now that I read the description, you’re correct. But then I counted the minifigs… 15 in the picture but only 14 in the description. Obviously TLG is biased against Cornell!!

Oh wow, that’s a lot of minifigs! It seems like a good price with all those figs and being a licensed property. I’m not familiar with the TV series, but it looks like it will make many fans of the show happy.

I will have to get this as a massive fan of the office (US version). They also included far more Minifigures than I thought they would, though as other people have said, where's Andy. Also, the promotional pictures available barely show any references to the show, like the 10292 Friends Apartement does.

Love this show, very excited for the set despite some nitpicks others have mentioned.

I'm mostly interested on some of the minifigures, other than that the layout doesn't look particularly great but I don't know what else could have been done to make it more enticing (it's an office after all). Price is not too bad considering the bad news about pricing across the board recently.

Seems like recent TV shows-based sets like Seinfeld and Queer Eye haven't sold that well (I've seen them discounted frequently in Canada, especially on Amazon) will it be the same with this set? Time will tell.

Why are Bob and Doug McKenzie on the the TV in the meeting room...?

Looks pretty neat and good assortment of minifigs.
Sigh of relief at the piece count and price as there was some Youtube vid that made it sound like the remaining 3 remaining 2022 Ideas sets would be $200+

not my cup of tea cuz I am not a fan of the show but i think the amount of stickers is disappointing. But sill probably great thing for fans.

best set ever

My sister is going to love this! It looks like they got all the little details I would have included in a set like this. Nice group of minifigures. Andy and the others shouldn't be too difficult to make custom minifigs. There's a lot of vest torsos. The Computer Programmer torso from CMF is perfect for Andy

Love it. But it does seem to be missing the accountants desks

Are the tweezers and sharpie new elements?

Neat set reveal.

I just pre-ordered it because I'm a huge fan of The Office, even though I'm not a fan of the previous sitcom sets. The only way to justify this for my city is to turn this into a modular by creating the exterior of the office building. This should be pretty easy to do, and I'm sure many people will also do the same.

I never watched The Office as I am not a fan of Ricky Gervais but as an office layout that looks really good; reminds me of my own office before they booted everyone out to 'hot desk' and mostly work from home, fully embracing the hand Covid dealt us...

Wow, I am speechless. This turned out great. Minifigure print reuses were expected but I honestly like this so much that I don't care.

Honestly I couldn’t understand what the heck anyone was saying in the UK version

And no conference room table?!

That's an rare sight in the lower left - A minifig head, used as a human (not robot head, with neither hair nor helmet, nor hat, but instead exposed stud. It stands out even more because another figure near the center does have the "bald" piece. (I know nothing of The Office except Dwight Schrute and Steve Carell.) Looking at the last 100 recent RSOTDs, they did that for Darth Malgus and for the Basketball sports set from 2003.

How many human minifigs are left with heads uncovered?

American version, Pass

Looks interesting, but would rather see have seen Brooklyn 99 or Firefly :)

I’ve barely seen the show but this seems accurate enough, to echo everyone else’s sentiments the number of Minifigures they’ve included is impressive. The sticker with the American flag and the eagle is also absolutely glorious, I’d get it off of Bricklink but as I found out through the Queer Eye set, it is super difficult to find stickers or parts with them applied for sale on there.

There is no Andy

Hence my confusion! To be fair, neither Andy nor Toby were mentioned in the original text description. I don’t think that minifig looks much like either character.

Really like the characters, but the actual office space underwhelms me. Accounting desks are nowhere to be seen, break room isn't there, and the conference room can't accomodate the number of people normally in the room for the show's scenes. It shouldn't be difficult to expand and include these, but I wish they'd done it themselves.

Tempted to buy this as a parts pack to amongst other things fill out the Daily Bugle (I'm modding it into an Octan offices tower).

That's an impressive minifigure count and good to see most can be swapped for yellow heads and hands. I know they're dreaded clear stickers, but I love the design of those window blinds.

Pretty good set for the minifigs, not only for the fans but very useful in general. The office itself, a bit meh but it does the job (hey, it's an office, what could you expect?), and probably a nice treasure trove for the fans.

One thing I do still have a bit of an issue with is how in that very same review round, two similar submissions for a The Office (US) set made it to 10k, so why not shared credits for both? Even when the resulting set clearly more closely resembles the winning submission, it has still been completely redesigned by Lego. What's left is the original idea, which was the same for both submissions. And other one actually was first...

And as for Ideas in general, I'd say we've come to a point that "bunch of minifigs with part of the set of some TV-series" isn't even an *idea* anymore. It's just rehashing the exact same concept with another IP. Dare I say it even smells a bit like plagiarism? Lego themselves can easily pick popular TV-series for more sets like these, they don't need our help with that. If I had a say in it I would reject ANY Ideas submission that doesn't do anything original with the property.

This looks incredible!! I never thought Lego would actually make this set and I was so pleased when they announced it was one of the Ideas they were going to move forward with.

I can't wait to get this set, my birthday is October 2, I've never been one to celebrate, but this year I'm going to with this set.

I'm extremely pleased with the look of this set, with the mini-figs that have been included, and surprisingly with the price!

Yes yes yes, I'm 100% getting this, looks great. Wish we the accountants section as well but I appreciate this being more affordable.

Shame it’s not the UK office with David Brent etc - loved the original office but could never get into the US version - pass I’m afraid

Is that a 4x4 square tile above the couch??

Where’s the Nard-dog?

Maybe if this sells well we’ll get the rest of The Office figures plus the accountants desks, creed and Meredith’s desks and the annex.

I LOVE the minifigs, but I HATE the huge amount of stickers. Would've been nice if the accountants also had their offices, or at least a place to sit in the break room, but that would've bumped the price up to 150, I'm sure.

Remember when Ideas sets had prints only?

Actually, that is Toby and not Andy.

Liked the show ages ago, but indifferent nowadays. But I have to admit I was able identify all minifigs, so they did a good job on turning the characters to minifigs.

I feel like Pam, Toby, and Ryan are really weak likenesses here, and Pam, Kelly, and Stanley really could have benefited from different or new hairpieces. Meredith also looks pretty young for a character representing unglamorous middle age. Otherwise, the figures are pretty good.

I don't know if it's rare so much as it happens that LEGO hasn't made a huge amount of very bald characters. For one example, Lex Luthor used a head with no headgear, and for Creed, it makes sense to do the same since the hair he had wasn't bushy enough or similar enough in shape to justify the balding hairpiece that Kevin uses. I don't think LEGO ever intended to make bare heads an obsolete representation for baldness, just that they decided some types of baldness justified three-dimensional minifig headgear to represent them.

Getting real tired of seeing the Claire Dearing Jurassic World head being reused for other licensed figs... it looks nothing like Meredith! At all. Could be confused with Ginny Weasley with the hair...

UK and US versions of the Office were both enjoyable in their different ways. I'd argue that the UK version was better and tighter - but ultimately I've enjoyed the USA version more and I suspect it has more international relevance in terms of its reach.

I do wish that the floor was a bit more interesting though...

LEGO needs to up its facial likeness and new hairpiece mould game significantly on it’s licensed sets.

Other than that IT’S THE FREAKIN’ OFFICE!! :)

As a bald guy, when my sig fig isn't rocking a hat to protect his dome from the sun, it's exposed stud all the time. :)

This was much more than I was expecting! I figured we'd get a set with like Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, and maybe a couple of the secondary characters like Kevin and Angela. Including essentially the entire early office cast with a large portion of the floor plan is awesome.

Hopefully this is successful and they'll make an expansion set that can attach to this one that includes the annex and break room and has Andy, Gabe, Erin, Karen, and some of the other later characters :)

I've never watched the US version, so I can't say whether I would like it or not.
I've got the complete UK original on DVD and I have watched quite a few episodes of the German version (called "Stromberg"), but I would not be interested in a LEGO set of either of those. After all, like the name suggests, it's just a generic office floor. How much more boring can it get?

Had it been a Red Dwarf set, that would have been something entirely different of course... ;-)

I am not a fan of the show, but I noticed that the layout is very similar to the office where I work. That puts a different perspective of interest of this set for me. I have the space of Michaels office. I might have to get this, but swap out the sand green for medium azure for my office space.

So happy to finally see this released. Ideas has made it clear for a long time there was a demand!

he's definitely unrecognizable because he's not in the set lol

I think that's a music video made by Michael and Dwight

No I think its the Monkey Kid chopsticks piece and the Friends marker

Michael and Creed have the same torso?

"Looks interesting, but would rather see have seen Brooklyn 99 or Firefly :)"
Brooklyn 99 was in the finals stage for one of these iirc, I want another Firefly Minifigure but there’s no way they’d do a set based on the show. It’s rated the equivalent of R in America and Joss Whedon has been hit with many disturbing allegations of racism and misogyny in recent times.

Brickset, Brickset, why fight over the US Office or UK Office when both suck?

Alright sarcasm and sass aside (I'm a filthy casual with no serious attachment to either show) this is probably one of Lego's best-looking sitcom sets yet. I doubt I'd pick it up but I can totally see why others would. If you want something that best resembles the iconic set then here you go, it doesn't get better than this.

Where's 21335?

It's... a pretty good looking office, I guess. Kind of tired of Ideas being these bland one-off licenses. Yes, I know the reasons why, but they don't make for particularly interesting Lego sets imo.

This is a day one purchase for sure. It would've been neat if they could have snuck in David Brent, who pops up for a cameo in season 7. Maybe include him, Andy, and Charles Miner in a GWP. I mean, we NEED another Idris Elba mini-fig.

@Lee_Fogel said:
"Oh, now THIS is a for-sure buy!"

I placed my pre-order as soon as I found out it was available :)

They did a great job giving the space enough detail to distinguish it as being Dunder Mifflin's bland office space rather than any ol' bland office space- and I mean that non-sarcastically!

My dad is a huge US Office fan, and he loved this set!

It's a human trait. :)

Absolutely zero interest

How ironic that LEGO have opted to produce the US copycat version of the English original…. At least it follows the trend that the “Idea” need not be original at all to get selected in the first place like numerous other Ideas sets these days.

I don’t really know what you expected from a replica of an office. Can’t exactly ‘jazz’ it up unless you make it a full building.

Looks great. That seem to have squeezed a lot of the iconic moments from the US series, which from around mid season 2 really did surpass the already excellent original UK version when it could evolve into its own identity. Missing a couple of other key characters, but cant have them all I guess.

I’m pretty sure whatever those allegations are have nothing to do with them not making a Firefly set.

I think Lego did as good a job as could be hoped for. It looks great for *an* office and it looks great for *The* Office.

If a very casual fan like me can recognize the set and characters on a tiny phone screen then Lego did well.

Never watched an episode in my life but I like this set. Good for office parts and populate my city with office workers.

It looks to me to have approximately one million stickers. But I could be wrong.

What’s the logic with Stanley Hudson‘s hair? …Coulda made a new hair piece.

For some reason, when I look at this rendition of Meredith, I just see Ginny Weasley…

I do enjoy The Office, not as much as Seinfeld, but I might pick this set up somewhere down the line. The minifigure department really outdid themselves here.

Not sure where Erin or Karen are though.

Never seen the show, so who am I to judge. I will anyway.
It does seem nothing more than a baseplate with some walls and Advent Callander desks and shelves.

Pretty much a big battle back.

I won’t buy it, but I imagine a lot of fans of the show will. So: enjoy!

Culturally a lot of us Brits like to hang on to the original Office - it started a wave of copycat mockumentries and a style of humour that’s developed a lot in British comedy ever since. Ironically the US Office wasn’t a copycat show at all after the first Season because the dry humour and pathos weren’t attractive to the audience, so it became an American humour sitcom with looks to the camera. If you like that style of humour it seems like one of the best out there - unfortunately I don’t so I’ll stick with a plethora of other British sitcoms in the same vein like Peep Show.

This Ideas set is probably one of the most interesting tv inspired IP ones out there (I didn’t even know what Seinfeld was until it won the selection process and I looked it up) - it does have a wide flat base though - so display might be difficult.

@Edwin_Danielson said:

There is no Andy Bernard, you're probably looking at Ryan Howard

"NOOO, GOD! NO, GOD! PLEASE, NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOO!"

Love that line.

I'm not going to buy this, but I do like that LEGO has now made the 6 stem plant base in black. (It's the top of the coat rack.)

"The UK Office is not suitable for children so Lego couldn't make a set. The US Office is probably more family friendly.

Although as a Brit the only Seinfeld episode I am aware of is about self-pleasure, so Lego can make exceptions."

LEGO is the Master Of Their Domain.

I tried to watch the show but the format didn't do it for me. Same with the Modern Family. I like my sitcoms in the classic way. Maybe that's why I feel closer to getting Friends and Seinfeld sets. Also, I didn't see any interesting builds in this set. It's only redeeming quality seems to be the minifigs, if you're a fan of the show that is.

Not a fan of all these sitcom sets. They sell, so it is a good business model, so I get it, but not interested. Even if this was the David Brent version, not sure I'd bother but the US version doesn't interest me at all.

@Lego_Prime said:
" This looks amazing! Honestly, I'm tempted to get 2 so I can MOC one into the missing portions of Accounting and the bullpen, and make custom minifigs of the missing characters.

For everyone talking about the lack of certain minifigs, this set appears to be based on the first 2 seasons, with some jokes from later seasons added as well.

And the American version was likely chosen due to it being more popular and running for a total of 201 episodes over 9 seasons, whereas the UK version only ran for a total of 14 episodes over 2 seasons."

14 episodes! If it wasn't for the US version this series would be long forgotten outside a small UK niche fan base.
And some complain that TLG goes with the US version!

Somehow, the Seinfeld set looks superior to this. Maybe they should’ve tiled the floor to make the office look more furnished.

The minifigs are all great though and will surely be the main selling point. Plus that jelly-fied stapler! :-)

I appreciate all the small detailing, which would look great at a Lego show surrounded by hundreds of other scenes of mini-figs going about their daily business, but I don't really want to take home with me afterwards!

You're right, but you were faster reacting to my comment than I was editing it. :-) However, considering it should be Toby, it looks even less like the actor. But if only 1 in 15 minifigs doesn't look like who they are supposed to be, that's still a great score.

BORING!! Yet another TV set. How many is that now, 10,000,000?

Brilliant

I don't like the show much but I love this set. It looks absolutely amazing. Even for the price it seems outstanding.

My kids and I practically know the dialogue by heart at this point, we watch this show almost daily. It will be fun to set up scenarios from the show and 'quiz' them to name the episode.

Maybe a warehouse set could come next to fit under this one and include all the missing characters from the latter seasons. I need a Todd F. Packer ("you know what the F is for, right?"). HA HA!!!

sticker galore?

Gimme gimme this set
