LEGO has delighted fans of The Office with a new set inspired by the hit US comedy show.
LEGO Ideas first teased the new set with a photo of a LEGO stapler inside jelly–a prank which features in the first episode of both the UK and US versions of the show–sitting on Dwight Schrute’s desk.
The image was captioned with a quote paraphrased from Michael Scott: “The thing about a practical joke is you have to know when to stop… too bad we’re just getting started.”
LEGO teased its Twitter followers by asking “Guess what’s coming?”

LEGO Group then revealed The Office set on Twitter, which is a scene of Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton office, naturally, complete with Michael’s office and the conference room.
The cast of 15 LEGO characters features LEGO versions of Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Ryan Howard, Angela Martin, Oscar Martinez, Kevin Malone, Stanley Hudson, Kelly Kapoor, Phyllis Lapin Vance, Meredith Palmer, Creed Bratton, Toby Flenderson, and Darryl Philbin.
Fans of The Office will be delighted by the details–Pam’s figurine can be seen holding her green teapot gifted by Jim, while Angela is joined by Garbage the cat.

The classic stapler in jelly makes an appearance, as does Michael’s “World’s Best Boss” mug.
The 1,164-piece set comes with an illustrated booklet about The Office, the set’s fan creator and LEGO designers, plus step-by-step instructions to make the construction a joy.
The Office LEGO set will be launched on October 1, 2022, and costs £104.99.
LEGO has previously released sets of well-loved sitcoms including Friends—with one set replicating the apartments, and another replicating Central Perk, and Seinfeld, while Queer Eye’s Fab Five loft also got the LEGO treatment.
