Not about any Lego games.

Lego is releasing an incredible set based on The Office​

It will be available for preorder on Friday for $119.99

Lego's latest crossover set is one based on none other than the hit sitcom The Office. If you're a fan of the show — and I know there are a lot of you out there — you'll want to get out your magnifying glass because the set is chock-full of callbacks to some of the most iconic things from The Office.
The set's layout is a remarkably detailed replica featuring some of the most-seen places inside the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company offices, including the reception desk, Jim and Dwight's desks, Michael Scott's office, and the conference room.

But look a little bit closer — seriously, that's a 5K image you can download or tap and zoom into above — and you'll just keep finding details lovingly recreated in Lego form. Michael Scott's "World's Best Boss" mug? It's there. Dwight's stapler in jello? Yup. Is Stanley snacking on a pretzel? He sure is. That painting above the chair in the foyer? Looks like a Lego version of Pam's watercolor painting of the office. Kevin has even spilled his chili on the floor.

The 1,164-piece set — which measures over 3 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 10 inches deep — also features 15 minifigures of some of the most well-known officemates from the show. You can see the whole group in the picture below. (Though I do wish Erin, who was a key character in later seasons, had been included as well.)

Just feast your eyes on these photos of the set from Lego. The level of detail is delightful. And there will even be extra stickers and accessories included. "We didn't want to hold back on references," Lego's Chris Perron said in a statement.

The set became a reality after getting 10,000 votes through the Lego Ideas program. The original submitter, Jaijai Lewis, has been working on the project since 2014. It will be available for preorder Friday exclusively on Walmart's website in the US and Canada and at Lego.com internationally ahead of an October 1st release. (You'll be able to buy it in-store at Walmart as well when it's officially on sale.) It's not cheap at $119.99, but for an Office superfan, it might be worth every Schrute Buck.

Not much into Lego but that Office set looks pretty sweet.

I'll probably pick this up for my wife as a gift. We get at least 2-3 sets a year for Christmas time to build with the kids.

I have found that I'm good at buying Lego but lack the time management to actually put anything substantial together. I'll post a photo of my back log later.

@AJUMP23 We have a Lego thread here too.

I like the LEGO NES better, but that's still gorgeous.

Question to any LEGO fans with kids who also play LEGOs. Have you noticed your kids are more or less creative with the LEGOs? Do they build the sets and preserve them, playing with them and protecting them like toys? Do they break them apart and then forget about them in the bin, or do they make stuff out of the pieces? Do your kids mainly play with the old pieces and either re-construct old sets or build strange new ones?

Just asking because I've seen the full spectrum of what I described above, and it's fascinating to watch. I played w LEGOs a lot as a kid, so it's eerie to watch my kids interact with them in a variety of ways as they grow older.

@Bullet Club Now I know, and that is half the battle.

Set looks cool.

I like LEGO but don't have time to do any of it. My wife and I always like to watch LEGO Masters together. Some very impressive stuff there.

Love it. Unlike the NES which was smaller this thing is almost exact size of the actual 2600

Does anyone here have the Brick Link Studio application? I have some .io files that I want to see if they contain instructions/parts list for some custom Lego sets, but I am not interested in running the application and trying to learn how to do it.

Essentially I have a list of parts and instructions for what I think is in the .io files, however the list I have is in an xls form and not easy to upload to any brick purchasing site as they require XML or the actual .io files.

So what I want to confirm is, if the .io files are the same as the instructions and XLS parts list I DO have and can read.

Anyone here willing to help me out or have a clue what I am asking? I have tried to go through and pick out the parts one at a time, after the hundredth brick search and trying to understand which grey I am trying to acquire, I have given up multiple times. So I found a guy who has the set I own the pdf files from, but he has it in .io file format. He also lists different colorways with parts numbers that don't match up with what I think they should be, so I suspect these smaller lists are the alternate colors for the parts I do have.
