LEGO 21328 Ideas Seinfeld Apartment Building Set & 21034 Architecture Skyline Model Building Set, London Eye, Big Ben, Tower Bridge Model Collection, Office Home Décor, Collectible Gift Idea

Product Information

The LEGO Ideas platform is a great way for fans to share their ideas with us and their passion for a particular theme. However, the cover of Kramer's book about coffee tables could certainly have been recreated more faithfully, capturing the distinctive marbled design which appears onscreen. The metallic silver decoration across the rug is attractive though, comprising ten printed 1x2 tiles. This dark orange table complements the aforementioned drawers and the telephone looks good, relating to several popular scenes. Five minifigures are included in 21328 Seinfeld: Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Elaine Benes, fan-favourite Cosmo Kramer and perpetual thorn in Jerry’s side, Newman. While their outfits don’t reference a particular episode or moment from the series, they are still dressed in appropriate attire.

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 statement. The whole apartment includes medium nougat tiles which form realistic floorboards, with plates scattered among them to attachment minifigures and furnishings. These include the renowned Festivus pole that was developed by George Costanza's father, Frank. The pole is assembled simply here but looks perfect, contrasting starkly with the surrounding elaborate details.The bathroom door is recessed into another alcove, while Jerry's bedroom would be located around the corner. This model only features the bathroom door though, matching the original studio. Furthermore, the red light fixture is present, alongside Jerry's bicycle. This component has never appeared in bright green before and its colour looks splendid. George Costanza captures marvellous detail from the onscreen character as well, recreating George's recognisable hairstyle with splendid texture. The head conveys great expression too, although no second face is provided because this hair component would not cover the reverse. Perhaps an entirely separate head could have accompanied the minifigure, displaying a more neutral face. Federico Begher, VP of Global Marketing at The LEGO Group commented, “The LEGO Ideas platform is a great way for fans to share their ideas with us and their passion for a particular theme. Not only did Brent have a personal desire to create this build, other fans agree and he gained the necessary 10,000 community votes needed for us to consider creating it into a product.

The sand blue cabinets and angular arrangement of different units appears fantastic, corresponding precisely with the television series. Smaller furnishings, such as the dark blue stools beside the counter, are also provided and subtly connected to the floor using 1x1 round tiles with vertical shafts. That aside, the finished model is incredibly accurate, even down to the offset angle of the kitchen counter and apartment walls. It really is quite impressive, especially when comparing the finished model to the real-life set. Everything from the colour of the kitchen counters to the style of desk chair, the paraphernalia that’s on the shelf, the colours of the walls and furniture, and even the design of the doors are all absolutely spot on. — Characters — Are you getting your hands on LEGO Seinfeld? Let me know what you think of the design in the comments! 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."

It’s the units around the apartment, though – the kitchen cupboard and bookshelves – that are the most enjoyable builds. They’re intricate sub-assemblies that fit together almost like a jigsaw puzzle, crammed full of representations of books, mugs, juice and trinkets – all of which look just like the real thing in Jerry’s on-screen apartment. UPDATE ( 21/7): The LEGO Ideas Seinfeld set is now available on LEGO.com for LEGO VIP members, ahead of a general release on 1 August 2021! LEGO fan designer, Brent, who is the co-founder of a video games company, loved LEGO as a kid but was re-introduced to it as an adult and combined with his skill as a 3D artist he set about designing his own LEGO creations - including creating the Seinfeld set. Talking about the design, Brent said, “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. 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.” Brent is quoted as saying “I loved Seinfeld in the 90s and recently re-watched them all.

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.” Seinfeld is a classic sit-com and a cultural icon that was huge in the 90s and still stands the test of time today. The combination of the quirky characters and the nostalgia of the show is the perfect fit for LEGO and when we saw the concept we just knew we had to make it. I am so excited to see how this has been brought this to life in LEGO form and the attention to detail from the furniture to some of the minifigures accessories.”Created by Australia-based fan designer Brent Waller, it includes the titular comedian's New York City apartment and a buildable stand-up stage. Fans of the the classic 90s sitcom and standup comedian legend Jerry Seinfeld are in for a treat with the official reveal of the LEGO 21328 Seinfeld, released as part of the LEGO Ideas theme! The LEGO Ideas platform is a great way for fans to share their ideas with us and their passion for a particular theme,” said Federico Begher, VP of Global Marketing at The LEGO Group. “ Not only did Brent have a personal desire to create this build, other fans agree and he gained the necessary 10,000 community votes needed for us to consider creating it into a product.”

Kramer's questionable installation of the Commando 8 air conditioner is represented as well, since the air conditioning unit is situated in the window. This assembly includes superb detail and features the Commando 8 branding outside the window. Otherwise, the exterior is notably unfinished, again matching earlier sitcom-based models and reflecting the nature of Seinfeld's studio filming location. I was just a kid growing up in a small town in Australia when ‘Seinfeld’ debuted in 1989,” Waller, 42, told The Post. It also features minifigures of some of the outing's most popular characters, from Jerry himself, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) and Elaine Benes ( Julia Louis-Dreyfus), to Jerry's arch-nemesis Newman (Wayne Knight). The minifigures are going to be the biggest drawcard with Jerry Seinfeld (with an excellent new mullet hairpiece), Kramer who utilises the new “Matthew Ashton pompadour hair”, George Costanza with his iconic red parka, Elaine Benes and Newman. This set was not provided for review by the LEGO Group – we bought it from LEGO.com, and you can too if you’re a VIP member. (It’ll go on sale to everyone else from August 1.)

Make a Kramer-style entrance directly into the cozy and well-appointed living room and enjoy a seat on the ultra-comfy couch with friends George, Elaine and Kramer and even comedy nemesis Newman, if you so desire… It's been 33 years since Seinfeld first aired in the US and to celebrate the – admittedly rather random – milestone, LEGO released a set last year that honours the beloved '90s sitcom, which you can now grab at a reduced price just in time for Festivus! Each minifigure therefore includes unique decoration, beginning with Jerry Seinfeld whose double-sided head captures his personality perfectly. His bemused expression is particularly effective and I appreciate the buttoned shirt too. However, the most interesting aspect of this minifigure is definitely the new hair piece, which achieves fantastic accuracy when compared with the character's classic hairstyle! The circular dining table is accurately positioned behind a sand green sofa. Sand blue would arguably have been more appropriate when compared with the source material, although the selection of available sand green elements is wider and the colour looks fittingly muted, which seems most important when displaying the apartment.
