I usually love Lego and building their sets. But lately I have been receiving damaged Lego sets in the mail. When I received the starry night it had some creases but nothing compared to this set. This set, in particular, looks like someone held it out in front of them and just ran straight into a wall (see pictures). The amount of folds and creases is insane. I feel this was done before shipment because the shipping box fits this Lego set perfectly, which had no visible damage anywhere. A collector, who wishes to keep the boxes, does not want them in such poor condition. Lego should take pride in their packaging for it is the same as the wrapping on a gift. The box should make you want to open it even more not write a review on why it looks this way. This set has only been available for 4 days today, what all could my box have went through? Now I’m debating on returning since Lego can’t keep up with demand and probably won’t be able to exchange. Smh
For a set that I couldn’t wait to get approved from lego ideas and that I preordered the moment it went online, I was really expecting to love this set. The Easter eggs included from the show are fantastic as are the extra pieces to change out for different moments from the show. But where it disappoints is the feeling of it being incomplete. It’s nice that the set includes so many characters but once the set is complete, it feels crowded since the accounting, annex, and other sections of the office aren’t included. My best guesses were they were either trying to keep a certain price point or concerned that people would get bored building desk after desk. However, given the size and completeness of the friend’s apartments which felt perfect, I feel like aiming for that size and cost would have been better. Also given the main target audience is office fans, I doubt anyone would have cared if it felt repetitive as long as the set felt complete. Now I’m left to either hope they make an expansion or work on my own to build the rest of it.
I love all of the little details in this set! There’s so many Easter eggs that true fans will understand. However, I’m a little disappointed that the set isn’t bigger. It’s missing the accounting area and break room. It’s also missing characters like Andy, Erin, and Roy (even though there’s a hole in the wall where Andy punched). Meredith’s figure comes with a bat, but there’s no break room to recreate the scene. I do like that there are interchangeable parts for example: there’s 2 different signs you can put in the conference room saying “It is your birthday” or “Diversity Day Take 2”. Just wish the set could’ve been bigger 😕
Overall this set was worth every penny! This set was so much fun! The Office is my favorite TV show of all time and when I found out about this I knew I had to have it! All the easter eggs make it a million times better! I am not a huge fan of stickers with LEGO sets, but the stickers were perfect for this set! I would love to see LEGO do another area of The Office (like the annex or the warehouse) or even have Schrute Farms.
I waited a long time for this set but it was worth the wait. I had a lot of fun building it and love all the Easter eggs! A must have for fans of The Office. Maybe a future set could be an add-on to include accounting, the break room and the annex.
