Close to a decade since The Office aired its final episode, the cultural fascination surrounding the American adaptation of the UK mockumentary hasnโt really waned. On the contrary. From tired dating app bios to Spotify, the related collaborations/crossovers and fandom alike have remained strong. But 2022 will mark a very special milestone for the hit sitcom: the arrival of an official LEGO x The Office set.
To call this the ultimate collectorโs item would be the understatement of the century. With 1,164 pieces, this incredibly detailed replica of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Companyโs Scranton office doesnโt just include everyoneโs favourite pencil pushers. It even features distinct references to some of the showโs greatest moments from all nine seasons.
