Do you think we'll get all the characters from the Ideas submission? Would it be a set similar in size to the Friends apartment? Quote
The Stud Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 “Oh my god! Okay, it’s happening. Everybody stay calm. Everybody stay calm. Stay Megablocking calm!” I said this in another thread, but I was a bigger fan of The Office a couple years ago when some of those other submissions reached 10,000 supporters. Still, better late that never! Jim, Pam, Dwight, Angela, Kevin and Michael Scott figures are guaranteed. I think Andy, Phyllis and Stanley are also very likely based off the layout of the submission, and I can’t see them excluding Ryan and Kelly. That’s already eleven but I hope Darryl still makes the cut. Quote

They chose the bigger of the two The Office sets in this review, so I reckon there will be a decent number of figures in the final set. If they wanted to do a smaller set, then they would probably have gone with the smaller submission given how similar they were. A lot of the prints need not be new, as many of the City style torsos would fit office workers, so that could keep design costs down if they do go for a large number of minifigs. Quote
JeanGreyForever Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 I'm surprised The Office got selected after so many rejections but I guess Lego has realized how lucrative these sitcom sets are in the past few years. Quote

White Phoenix of the Crown Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 This is total BS! Why not the Samus ship or Hyrule Castle ? Quote
Borex Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Never watched the USversion of the office. It would be too cool, if they did an USversion and a GBversion. Same build, but different figs. Or if they won’t a special Ricky Gervais fig as a polybag Quote

I thought this too. Date Mike won’t take much to be made, could get away with just giving him his hat and turn a blind eye to the tie printed on his torso. Quote

Definitely makes me wonder what the 2 facial expressions will be for him. Jim clearly will get the "shrug" look as well as the mischievous grin! I also hope for references including - Bowl of Chili Simpsons doll Refrigerator with Vance sticker A Beat somewhere Dundies Quote

Other cool references I hope they get to include. Not expecting any of these but they'd make my heart burst with appreciation. Gosh you could go on forever to be honest with references.. Dwight bobblehead Teapot Stapler in jello Some reference to the Michael Scott Paper Company Sandals Jamaica brochure (rights permitting!) Serenity by Jan A Dundie Creed Thoughts on a monitor WUPHF.com reference Pretzel A bat Quote

If this set looks great, it may be the first Ideas set I have bought in 7 years [currently] (by the time this thing comes out, it could be 8 or even 9 years). Quote
PGBQW Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Okay, so how many minifigures do you think we'll get? Quote

I think based on the Ideas entry, we might get the majority of the dunder mifflin employees, however I'm assuming the bare minimum of Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam. If they had to pick a few extras, then I'd say Kevin, Angela, Andy and Darryl. Edited October 17, 2021 by drewdotexe Quote

Thing is, they have to include so many essential characters that at that point they might as well pick up the whole bunch of them because it wouldnt really make that much of a difference Quote

Michael Scott is someone in a suit. So is David Brent. So just get a head with a beard, then you can switch Michael Scott to David Brent. A head without glasses turns Dwight into Gareth. Blonde hair and Pam becomes Dawn. Jim won't need changing to become Tim. Quote

I don’t care for Steve Carell. Quote
