Hi to all! It's been a long time since I've posted anything, but here we are. Many years ago I decided to start building the Friends apartments because it was by far the series I loved the most. It's a series I know quite well. For this reason I started collecting as many photos as possible on the web, but lacking many details I also started taking screenshots from the DVDs. I tried to focus my attention on the fourth and fifth seasons, so I actually made the project with LDD starting from these assumptions. After 6 months of work, however, I stopped. For some reason, interest in Lego waned and once Monica and Rachel's apartment was finished, I decided not to continue. When Lego released the Central Perk set, the spark was rekindled in me, thanks to the presence of the minifigures of the protagonists, the desire to take over the project again, until the official set came out and at that point I bought it like many others and I just built it. And for a while I was also very satisfied, thinking I could add the bedrooms and bathrooms and the job would be done. But once I took the project back in hand, I realized that what was made by Lego lacked many details and was too small. So starting from that base, I enlarged, detailed and added what was missing, correcting inaccuracies. And here we are with the final result. I hope you will appreciate. The full album on Flickr

Here is my review on 10292 F.R.I.E.N.D.S The Apartments: THE GOOD: Spacious to place minifigures in different situation. Foosball table and some of the furnitures are great little build. Love both kitchens. Great new version of the characters in minifigure form. THE NOT SO GOOD: Building experience not as fresh as The Central Perks Cafe. Overall, it's really a set for the fans of the tv series. I personally not a fan but watched it on TV back in the days, so the experience during build and after building is quite different compare to let's say any MCU sets. I would have give it full marks if I did not own the Central Perks Cafe. There are lots of building techniques already been done, and I do feel the Central Perks one is a bit more complex and the end product is more lively. Having said that, I still has a good time and surprised with size of this. And considering Seinfields set is also on the way, we may able to build our own TV studios in LEGO. The minifigures are excellent and it's always good to get new version of any characters. (but sad LEGO cut corner for not wearable turkey XD) The highlights for me are definitely the foosball table and both kitchens, I feel there are not of great stuff being hidden there and only appreciate it when you actually built it. You will love this set if you are a fan of the series, but if you are like me, I will still recommend this set but will rate the Central Perks higher and the pricing of this one is also slightly on the higher end, especially in NZ =(
