No one told you life was gonna be this way, but 25 years on, Friends is still as popular as ever – according to Ofcom, it was the most-streamed show in the UK in 2018.

Now, ahead of the 25th anniversary of the show, LEGO are tapping into the nostalgia by releasing a special edition set featuring Rachel, Joey, Ross and even Gunther.

The set is a miniature brick construction of the Central Perk coffee shop where the gang would hang out in the show. If you're a real Friends addict, you'll also have noticed that all of the character figurines are modelled on the stars' looks from the first season.

If you're asking us, miniature Ross bears the strongest resemblance to the real-life David Schwimmer.

The Friends set was commissioned as part of the Lego Ideas program, in which creators submit builds to the website, and, if they receive 10,000 votes from the community, they will be considered for retail purposes. This one made it through, for obvious commercial reasons.
