Lego will be there for you with a new Friends-themed set.

You can continue the stories of Rachel, Ross, Joey, Monica, Phoebe and Chandler with the 2,048-piece The Friends Apartments kit. It includes the two main New York apartments from the show along with a connecting hallway. But it’s not the homes themselves that are the stars. It’s what’s inside.

The set is packed with detailed insider references, from Phoebe’s “Gladys” painting to the meat-sweats Thanksgiving turkey to the giant poking device used to check on Ugly Naked Guy. If you don’t know what those phrases reference, it’s probably time for a series rewatch.

The Friends minifigures are decked out in some of their finest costumes. Ross has on his restrictive leather pants and Monica sports an apron. The main-cast minifigs are joined by recurring character Janice (Chandler’s sometimes-girlfriend), who is making her minifig debut.
