You Can Build Jerry’s Iconic Apartment In “Seinfeld” with This New LEGO Set
“Seinfeld” is still regarded as one of the best shows in television history, and it will likely break more records in the fall as Netflix just acquired the exclusive streaming rights. But as you wait to be transported back into the 1990s NYC scene of “Seinfeld,” you can relive your favorite scenes with the LEGO Ideas Seinfeld set and build some of the show’s most iconic sets, one brick at a time.
Like the The 1,326 piece set wouldn’t be complete without the characters themselves, so it includes five minifigures of the iconic characters: Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, Elaine Benes, and Newman, Jerry’s postal worker archnemesis. The set was designed by LEGO fan Brent Waller, who submitted the concept on the LEGO Ideas platform, a LEGO initiative that takes new ideas that have been imagined and voted for by fans and turns them into reality. “I loved Seinfeld in the 90s and recently re-watched them all. I thought it was a travesty that a LEGO Seinfeld set didn’t exist so I made an effort to resolve that and make the best rendition of Jerry’s Apartment and the gang that I could,” Waller explained in a press release. “The biggest challenge was trying to cram as much detail from the show into the kitchen, all the cupboards, items in the cupboard and on the bench-tops. But I am very proud of how it turned out.” The LEGO Ideas Seinfeld set, recommended for ages 18 and up, will be available for LEGO VIP members starting on July 21 and for all from LEGO stores and online on August 1, retailing for $79.99.
