21328 Seinfeld fan designer says it was a ‘travesty’ that the sitcom didn’t have a LEGO set

The fan designer behind the newly-announced

says it was a ‘travesty’ that no set existed based on the classic sitcom.

That was the problem Brent Waller – who’s also responsible for bringing 2014’s 21108 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 to shelves through LEGO

– sought to remedy when submitting his Seinfeld-themed project to the crowdsourcing platform in June 2019.

Now, two years on – and just in time for the show’s 32nd anniversary – the LEGO Group has unveiled the final product of Brent’s submission, which realises Jerry’s apartment across 1,326 pieces. And aside from a few colour and part changes, the official set is actually incredibly close to Brent’s original vision.

“I loved Seinfeld in the ‘90s and recently re-watched them all,” the fan designer said. “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 cupboards and on the bench-tops. But I am very proud of how it turned out.”
