Lego friends series
One thing I found disappointing about The Big Bang Theory LEGO Ideas set was that it didn’t have much in the way going for it in terms of interesting building techniques - it was essentially just a flat wall built at right angles on a bunch of plates, with some details and furniture in front. We’ll return to the unique printed elements later in our review. For anybody concerned that all of the unique design elements of Central Perk you saw on the box have been recreated with stickers, you can relax - the sticker sheet is surprisingly small. Many LEGO Ideas sets don’t include a sticker sheet, relying on new printed designs instead. It’s often an indicator of who LEGO may be targeting with the set, and it’s clear from the sturdy box with interior printing that LEGO is trying to appeal to adult collectors who might not typically buy the average LEGO set for parts to build their own creations. The packaging, instructions, & sticker sheetįor a couple of years now, LEGO Ideas sets have begun to vary between standard LEGO set boxes (thin cardboard designed to reduce packaging waste) and the type of “premium” packaging clearly designed to appeal to collectors who’ll put the LEGO set back in its box when they’ve built it - the type of sturdy, refolded box that LEGO Architecture sets continue to be packaged in. But for those of us who don’t necessarily consider ourselves life-long, hardcore Friends super-fans - I personally do not own an officially licensed Central Perk coffee mug - it hasn’t been clear what we had to look forward to with the new LEGO Ideas 21319 Central Perk set released today ( $59.99 US | $89.99 CAN | £64.99 UK), which includes 1,070 pieces and 7 minifigures.

For those of us who watched Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey live out their lives on TV as the show Friends aired between 19, there’s much more nostalgia attached to this television series than to something like The Big Bang Theory.
