by

If you are a fan of the legendary 90s sitcom Friends, you probably remember the feeling of comfort that came with seeing those two iconic New York apartments. Following the massive success of the Central Perk (21319) set, LEGO released the Icons The Friends Apartments (10292)—a massive, detail-packed tribute to the show’s later seasons.

Whether you’re a LEGO collector or a die-hard fan of the “Rembrandts” theme song, this set is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Here is everything you need to know about this 2,048-piece masterpiece.

What’s Inside the Box?

Unlike the Central Perk set which focused on the coffee shop, this set features both apartments—Joey and Chandler’s bachelor pad and Monica and Rachel’s purple-walled home—connected by the famous hallway where so many iconic scenes took place.

1. Monica and Rachel’s Apartment

The attention to detail here is astounding. You’ll find:

  • The iconic purple walls and the yellow frame around the peephole.
  • The open kitchen (complete with a tiny Thanksgiving turkey).
  • The balcony where the gang went to poke the “Giant Poking Device.”
  • Eclectic furniture that perfectly captures Monica’s “shabby chic” interior design.

2. Joey and Chandler’s Apartment

The vibe shifts immediately to the ultimate 90s bachelor pad:

  • The two reclining leather chairs (which actually reclines!).
  • The foosball table where Joey and Chandler spent hours.
  • The “Pat the Dog” statue.
  • The canoe that replaced their stolen furniture.

3. The Hallway

The connector between the two apartments is where the “Cheesecake Incident” happened. Yes, the set even includes a dropped cheesecake on the floor for the minifigures to eat!

The Minifigures: Iconic Outfits

One of the best parts of this set is the choice of outfits, which reference specific, fan-favorite episodes:

  • Rachel: Wearing her plaid skirt.
  • Monica: In her kitchen apron.
  • Joey: Wearing all of Chandler’s clothes (“Could I BE wearing any more clothes?”).
  • Chandler: In his classic suit and tie.
  • Phoebe: In a classic floral look.
  • Ross: Wearing those infamous tight leather pants.
  • Janice: Making a special appearance in her signature leopard print. OH. MY. GAWD!

Hidden “Easter Eggs” for Superfans

LEGO designers clearly watched the show on repeat while designing this. Look out for:

  • Gladys: Phoebe’s terrifying 3D artwork.
  • The Chick and the Duck: Essential members of the Joey/Chandler household.
  • The Cat: That attacked Ross on the balcony.
  • Mrs. Braverman’s Cheesecake: Lying on the hallway floor.

Final Verdict

The LEGO Friends Apartments (10292) is more than just a toy; it’s a physical encyclopedia of the show’s history. It’s a wide set, so you’ll need a long shelf to display it, but the joy of discovering every tiny reference makes it a must-have for any fan.

It captures the heart of the show: that your friends are the family you choose, and most of that choice happens in the living room over a pizza.
