Лего офис дандер миффлин
Обновлено: 04.05.2024
The ending of a TV series can be so sad. Once you’re no longer watching the characters on television, they can only live on in your hearts. “The Office” may have concluded in 2013, but that doesn’t means fans of this comedy are giving up on having the characters live on in another way! A concept for a Lego version of the Dunder Mifflin paper company office from the hit show has been submitted to Lego, and it’s currently under review by the company.
So, what does that mean exactly? It means that this set could one day exist in stores—which is crazy amazing news for fans of Michael Scott and the gang!
Once an idea submitted on the Lego Ideas website is backed by 10,000 people, Lego will review the idea to see if its something the company wants to create in real life. According to the Lego ideas page for the Dunder Mifflin set, the review process began in May and could take several months to complete.
If the idea gets the green light, it will move into the development phase and then eventually, you’d be able to buy this Lego version of “The Office” in stores. Pretty cool, huh?
The original concept for the design was created by Jaijai Lewis, a 36-year-old market researcher from New York City. It contains the main office space, Michael’s office, the Conference Room and Darryl’s office as well as Lego figurines of the characters Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, Erin, Andy, Phyllis, Stanley, Kelly, Toby, Darryl, Creed, Meredith, Angela and Kevin.
Fun details are included, too. For example, there are elements such as Dwight’s bobble head in Jell-O (thanks to Jim’s pranks) and Angela’s cats. Seems as though Lewis really thought of everything!
Fans have responded well to the Lego version Lewis has dreamed up.
One person called it the “cutest thing ever” on Twitter.
Other comments came through the Lego Ideas website. One supporter of the project wrote, “Fingers crossed that this passes review! ‘My heart soars, with the eagles nest,'” quoting none other than Michael Scott.
Clearly, “The Office” fans are supporting this 100 percent—and who could blame them?! Keep up with the latest updates to see if this project will become a reality via the Lego Ideas website.

One of the most classic TV shows ever, The Office is hardly a show that will be quickly forgotten. Its quirky characters, hilarious situations, and relatable experiences are perhaps just a few of the reasons it is so memorable. After watching the show in its entirety (and then rewatching it all AGAIN), I figured, what better way to honor the beloved show then with a Lego set?
Early on in the building process, I decided not to make the entire set of the Dunder Mifflin office simply because, as fun as that would have been to make, it would have been much too many pieces to be a viable set. So I decided to create the corner of the office that is home to perhaps the five most iconic characters in the show (all of whom are included as minfigures in the set): Jim Halpert, Pam Beasley, Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, and Erin Hannon. The set also includes spaces to expand if you would like to create the rest of Dunder Mifflin out of your own parts!
The final set is around 650 pieces and includes the five minifigures listed above! Please support if you'd like to see an Office Lego set (I know I would!) Tell friends, family, even tag the actors from the show in social media posts if you feel so obliged! Really, it can't hurt, and we need all the help we can get if we want an Office set that is on shelves!!
As Michael Scott would say, ""'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take' ~Wayne Gretsky"~Michael Scott" :)
P.S. I will be updating as time goes on with minfigure mockups, various easter eggs from across the show's nine seasons, and perhaps my own completed version of the Dunder Mifflin office :) *(however this would not be included in the original proposal)

Welcome to Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's Scranton branch! The Office was one of the most popular shows when it aired from 2005 to 2013. Although the show is over, it is still one of the most well-known TV shows ever. I have watched every episode of The Office countless times and it's always a sure way to make me smile. With my love of The Office and Lego bricks, I just had to create a Lego model of Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch. I only made the front part of the office because that is where most of the action goes on during the show.
- Michael Scott (Regional Manager)
- Dwight K. Schrute (Assistant to the Regional Manager)
- Jim Halpert (Salesman)
- Pam Beesely (Receptionist)
Additional items/accessories include:
- Michael's Dundie award
- Michael's "World's Best Boss" mug
- Michael's desk clutter (mini semi truck, pen holder, megaphone, etc.)
- Dwight's bobble head
- Dwight's brief case
- Jim's satchel
- Jim's phone
- Pam's phone
I had lots of fun creating all of the little detals in this project. It gave me an excuse to go back and watch all of my favorite episodes again. I just made the front section of the office to reduce the size and piece count. I felt that if I would have made the entire office, it would have been an unrealistic Lego Ideas project. I put a lot of time, effort, and detail into this project and I hope you all enjoy! "Bears eat beets," "FALSE! Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica"
Scranton, Pennsylvania, is a Mecca of sorts for fans of The Office, playing home to the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company and the lovable cast of characters that work there. While the show is actually filmed in California, there are plenty of references to Scranton hangout spots sprinkled throughout the script. To see if these Office-endorsed locales are all they’re cracked up to be, I ventured on a tour-de-Electric City, Michael Scott-style.
Places that actually exist
Alfredo’s Pizza Café
In the episode “Launch Party,” Michael tries to win over his disgruntled employees by ordering takeout from their favorite pizzeria. Unfortunately (and predictably), he screws up. Instead of ordering from the delectable and popular Alfredo’s Pizza Café, he orders from Pizza by Alfredo’s — an eatery famous for cranking out pizza that tastes “like eating a hot circle of garbage,” in Kevin’s assessment.
While Pizza by Alfredo’s is fictional, Alfredo’s Pizza Café is a real restaurant in Scranton. It’s a classic sit-down Italian eatery that serves up a variety of salads, sandwiches, and pastas. To see if the pizza is truly the best slice in Scranton, I ordered a piece of thin crust for review. Friends and I collectively agreed that it was not like eating a hot circle of garbage, but perhaps not worth $2.25 a slice.
Chili’s
There isn’t actually a Chili’s in Scranton. However, people who want their baby back (baby back, baby back) ribs can find one just a fifteen-minute drive away in nearby Wilkes-Barre. The restaurant is. . . well, just like any other Chili’s.
Cooper’s Seafood
The Office name-drops Coopers about as often as Michael Scott makes a “that’s what she said” joke. And in the episode “Business Ethics,” Michael actually takes Holly there. In the typically absurd scene, he gestures wildly with a crab claw as he discusses whether he should report Meredith for sleeping with a client in exchange for steak coupons.
The real Cooper’s is a popular Scranton seafood house modeled after a pirate ship. When I stopped by, the restaurant was hopping — crowded and pleasantly noisy, punctuated by the odor of salty fish. The eatery is divided into several rooms, including the ship’s pub, the lighthouse bar, the tiki bar deck, the whale room, the train room, the original pub, and the private coral room. There’s also a gift shop that offers a hodgepodge of lobster shot glasses, Dunder Mifflin-themed paraphernalia, and fish puppets. If you’re ever in Scranton on your birthday, Cooper's will treat you to a free meal.
Electric City signs
In the episode "The Merger," Michael and Dwight make a rap video called “Lazy Scranton” to introduce their out-of-town colleagues to the Electric City. In the immortal words of Mr. Scott, “They call it that cuz of the electri-City.”
Well, sort of. Scranton is indeed called the Electric City. That’s because America’s first electric-operated trolley system was developed there in 1886. While the line is no longer in commission, the nickname stuck. There’s a huge Electric City sign downtown that lights up at night, as well as a colorful mural next to the overpass on the way into Scranton.
Froggy 101 Radio Station
Dwight’s a big fan of this country music station. He’s even got a Froggy 101 bumper sticker on his desk. There was also a Froggy 101 sticker on the desk of Michael’s boss during his stint at the telemarketing company.
The real Froggy 101 is a popular Scranton-based country-western station. I figured a drive to Office country wouldn’t be complete without tuning in to good ol’ 101.3FM to pump some beats. In the half-hour or so that I listened to the station, DJ Crockett played a nice mix of mainstream and countrified artists — Rascal Flatts, Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, and Dierks Bentley. And of course, Kenny Chesney’s “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems.”
Lackawanna Coal Mine/Anthracite Heritage Museum
Michael and Dwight’s infamous “Lazy Scranton” rap video features footage of the Anthracite Heritage Museum. And in the episode “Healthcare”, Michael considers taking his staff on a tour of the Lackawanna coal mines after promising them an exciting but unspecified surprise.
The Anthracite Heritage Museum is a real exhibit in Scranton. It commemorates the workers of the coal mining and textile industries -- which formed the economic backbone of northeastern PA . The museum features old mining tools, replicas of miners’ homes, and real mine cars. And if that’s not enough, there are coal mine tours just down the road. The tour takes viewers 300 feet underground into a mineshaft, where a “miner” guide shares anecdotes about the history of anthracite coal mining. (I arrived too late to take a tour but just in time to play on the coal mine trucks without getting kicked out by security.)
Poor Richard’s Pub
It’s probably the most famous hangout spot for The Office gang, mentioned in multiple episodes as a favorite happy-hour destination. In the episode “Cocktails", the crew heads to Poor Richard’s, where the staff is on a first-name basis with Meredith. Pam tells Roy that she kissed Jim, prompting him to trash the bar with his brother in a drunken rage.
While the scene was filmed at Pickwick’s Pub in California, the real Poor Richard’s is located inside a bowling alley teeming with kids and birthday balloons. But the bar itself is not as family-friendly. It’s small and dark with several tables, an arcade machine, and a few dartboards. When I stopped by on a Saturday at 6 p.m., the pub only had two customers, both middle-aged men.
Steamtown Mall
In “Women’s Appreciation,” Michael celebrates his office gal pals by taking them to Scranton’s premier shopping site: the Mall at Steamtown. After they help him work out his relationship problems with Jan, he treats them each to one item from Victoria’s Secret.
While the episode was filmed at a mall in Los Angeles, there is a Steamtown Mall in Scranton — and it embraces its role as the center of Office-Mania. There’s a large display featuring cardboard cutouts and Office memorabilia in one of the mall’s windows. The elevator is embossed with a huge picture of a Dwight Schrute bobblehead: Rainn Wilson is an honorary safety guard there.
Places that used to exist
Farley’s Pub
In the episode “Basketball,” the losers of the game between the warehouse guys and the office guys have to buy the winners dinner at Farley’s.
The real Farley’s was a popular pub in downtown Scranton. After the show became famous, Farley’s added a special Michael Scott burger to the menu. Sadly for Office fans (and Scrantonites), the iconic bar closed earlier this year.
The “Scranton Welcomes You” sign
This sign is featured prominently in the opening credits. It used to be located on the Central Scranton Expressway. But a few years ago, city officials decided to retire the sign and replace it with a new one. The old sign is currently hanging out at the Steamtown Mall, where Office aficionados can bask in its presence.
Places that are totally made up
Hooters
It’s another culinary staple for Michael Scott. In the episode "The Secret", he treats Jim to lunch there on the corporate account and cleverly orders a chicken breast – hold the chicken.
But while the restaurant chain plays a big role in The Office, there isn’t actually a Hooters in Scranton. The nearest one is over an hour away, making it an unlikely lunch-break destination for true Scrantonites.
Benihana
To help him get over a bad breakup with Carol, Andy takes Michael to the so-called “Asian Hooters” to help him drown his sorrows in sake shots.
While it made for a great Christmas episode (aptly titled “a Benihana Christmas”), there isn’t actually a Benihana in or near Scranton. The closest one is in New Jersey.
Scranton Business Park
Located at 1725 Slough Avenue, the location of Scranton’s most viable business ventures – Dunder Mifflin, Vance Refrigeration, and others – doesn’t actually exist. Slough is actually the name of the town where the British Office takes place.
There are fans of The Office, and then there are fans of The Office. The former might have a favorite Dwight quote, some fervent opinions on the final two seasons, and a handful of personality quiz completions under their belt.
Then there are the real fans. The fans who have a favorite Hank the Security Guard quote, maintain meticulous episode rankings and tattoo Jello-ensconced staplers on their feet.

We believe that Reddit user u/Fanofthebrix belongs to the latter category, as he recently assembled a spot-on replica of the whole Dunder-Mifflin office out of LEGO. Apologies to all the feet that just instinctively bunched up.
For those of you who get your Netflix streaming plan money’s worth in Office rewatches alone, the accuracy of this should floor you. Just marvel at this near-perfect recreation of the Dunder Mifflin floor plan: you got the reception desk…
You got the conference room…
Oh, and there’s Michael’s office!
And the gang’s all there. You got Jim and Pam here. They’re both doing sales, so one can only assume they’re both miserable with LEGO wedding shit.

You got Michael, wielding his iconic coffee mug.

And it wouldn’t be an Office without the dark and mysterious Creed Bratton on quality assurance.

Look! There’s even a Dundie on Michael’s desk!

Excellent work u/Fanofthebrix. We anticipate your painstaking LEGO reproduction of the Dunder Mifflin warehouse.
Gaming and music go hand-in-hand, and Spotify hosts over two million gaming-related playlists. This makes their jump into the so-called metaverse a no-brainer, since it’s apparently real, and we will, in fact, have to deal with it. But when Spotify invited The Dad to take a first-hand look at their partnership with Roblox, I was excited to ask the hard-hitting questions dads need to know. Questions like “What is Roblox?” and “No, really, is it like…like what is it?”
Okay, most of us have at least heard of Roblox and perhaps even used it as a motivating tool for chores or good grades or being left alone for an hour. Despite the surging popularity of feel-good, low lift video games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, however, I’ve never actually played the game. But Spotify recognizes the fantastic potential of video games to connect people and has created a space within the game world for users to connect through a love of music. I was given a chance to explore “Spotify Island,” a unique little sanctuary within Roblox, and play around with the features. While it’s not exactly Elden Ring in terms of gameplay nuance, it’s an early look at the merging of all our digital spheres, and certainly a first step toward how entertainment will start to feel in the coming years.
Sidenote: I have to say, the Spotify office is pretty rad. When I arrived, there was a full coffee bar in the lobby, complete with a barista who was very unimpressed by my order of regular black coffee. Look, Spotify, you know me, you know how many times a week I listen to Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town; what kind of coffee did you expect me to order?
Anyway, the Roblox thing. The game allows players to engage with user-generated content, mainly in the form of mini-games players can create and share. The basic gameplay of Spotify Island is to parkour your way around a digital island paradise, collecting heart-shaped tokens, finding hidden easter eggs, and interacting with other players at beat-making stations. The tokens you collect can be exchanged for in-game content, such as emotes and cosmetic changes to your avatar. That’s all pretty familiar territory to online gamers, but the hook is how Spotify will use this space to host unique moments between artists and fans.
In-game, Spotify will host mini-quests, virtual meet-and-greets, and other interactive experiences with artists, including, obviously, selling MERCH! Yes, what kid hasn’t begged for some extra virtual dollars to spend on a virtual t-shirt for their virtual person. As someone who spent money on multiple skins for the various Avengers in a game I don’t even like, I have no commentary on this. But while it’s Dad Law to roll your eyes and act like your wallet is welded shut in these scenarios, Spotify made clear that in-game merch proceeds go directly to the artist. The artists are also as involved with the creative process as they’d like to be. Collectables and achievements are nothing new in video games – or, as we’ve seen with NFTs in the last year, real life for that matter. Considering the game’s been around since 2006, many artists will have grown up on Roblox themselves. I’m sure some young popstars will be thrilled to design in-game swag to share with fans. And I’m doubly sure preteens will lose their mind for it.
They announced they were starting partnerships with K-Pop icons Sunmi and Stray Kids, and I politely pretended to know who they were. I’m sure the kids will be excited.
