If Mric76's proposal on the 'LEGO Ideas' platform is approved, Millennial consumers will be looking at the ultimate nostalgia-inducing product — a themed 'Friends' LEGO Set. The idea is incredibly endearing, as it is often the case that individuals strive for something new that also incorporates something familiar. The 'Central Perk Coffee of Friends' edition is the perfect product since it is non-existent, however, it represents two of the most beloved things from the 90s — LEGOs and a cult favorite TV show.
The Friends LEGO set consists of 1,719 bricks, as well as seven figures for each of the characters. So far, the proposal has gained 7,638 supporters and it needs 10,000 for it to reach the 'LEGO Review' stage.
