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. 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! Seinfeld’ star Michael Richards’ memoir will cover 2006 racist outburst that led to ‘lifelong spiritual quest’ 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.

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 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."The instruction manual information about Seinfeld and its characters alongside a profile of the fan designer, Brent Waller. Furthermore, brief comments from the set designer, César Soares, are provided with contributions from Crystal Marie Fontan and Madison O'Neil, who designed the graphics. Their appreciation for Seinfeld is apparent in the number of references included! Today’s reveal date, the 5th of July also marks the anniversary of the first episode of the iconic comedy show. The LEGO Ideas Seinfeld set’s release date will be on 21 July 2021 for LEGO VIP members, ahead of a general release date of 1 August 2021. 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… 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. 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.

A total of 1,326 pieces are spread across nine numbered bags and, as is the case with all recent LEGO Ideas sets, the instruction manual contains information about the long-running series and the cast of characters that appear within the set: Jerry, best friends George and Elaine, next-door neighbour Cosmo Kramer and Jerry’s arch-nemesis Newman. Viewing the apartment from behind reveals the surprising complexity of the kitchen, where the sand blue cabinets and microwave are ingeniously built into the external wall. The mismatched colours and conspicuous bulges are quite unsightly, but that appears consistent with the source material and earlier sitcom-based sets, where detail has invariably been focused inside. 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.” Some of the instantly recognisable features include: the kitchen with buildable counter, fridge, microwave, oven and more; living room with a sofa; tables; an office; a buildable stage for stand-up comedian Jerry and a Festivus pole, collectively inspiring memories of comical moments from the show’s 180 episodes!

Cozy Eat-in Kitchen

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! 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.)

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. There’s also interviews with fan designer Brent Waller and the LEGO team responsible for turning Brent’s idea into a reality. It’s disappointingly not as detailed as some other sets have been, and considering the cultural importance and influence the show has had on modern comedies, it feels like more could have been said. But we’re not here for a history lesson: 21328 Seinfeld is all about the build.Sitcoms have provided excellent source material for LEGO products recently, especially within the Ideas theme. 21328 Seinfeld exhibits marvellous detail and countless references to the renowned series, arguably surpassing earlier sitcom-based models in these regards! I was just a kid growing up in a small town in Australia when ‘Seinfeld’ debuted in 1989,” Waller, 42, told The Post. 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.

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! Following the release of 21302 The Big Bang Theory, 21319 Central Perk established certain design features that have subsequently remained consistent. This model accordingly includes familiar angled walls with studio lights, measuring nearly 32cm across and 18cm deep, which is reasonably consistent with previous sitcom-based LEGO sets. Seinfeld fans are going to be delighted by this set, as will TV and pop culture junkies, especially connoisseurs of late 90s television as Seinfeld was such a massive influence on TV and comedy.

Captivating Living Room

Jerry's computer is located beside the main living space and that arrangement is faithfully replicated here, although the walls should not extend as far to separate the office area. The furniture inside looks excellent though, including two radiators and an accurate desk which is cleverly constructed by clipping the supports to the wall. This computer displays reference to Vandelay Industries, where George asserts he was interviewed to become a latex salesman.
