LEGO has announced a new set based on the sitcom The Office. It includes the Dunder Mifflin office space, along with 15 minifigures based on characters like Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Pam Beesly, Jim Halpert, and many more. The set, comprised of 1,164 pieces, costs $119.99 and is available to preorder now at Walmart and the LEGO Store. It will release on October 1.

LEGO Ideas The Office Set

Much like sets based on other sitcoms like Seinfeld and Friends (which has two sets: the apartments and Central Perk), this one is loaded with Easter eggs from the show. It includes a stapler in Jello and Kevin’s pot of chili, plus many more. Most of the minifigures also have an accessory; for instance, Angela has a cat and Michael has his “World’s Best Boss” coffee mug.

The set itself is comprised of the main office space, including the reception area and a few desks, plus Michael’s office and the meeting room. Anyone familiar with the show will recognize the office, and each of the 15 minifigures look remarkably like the characters from the show.

This set is part of the LEGO Ideas line. That’s a program in which LEGO enthusiasts can submit their own creations. If they’re chosen and the set comes out, the creators get a cut of the profits. Here’s the original submission for The Office set, if you want to compare and contrast with the actual product. They're always at least a little different.

Preorders are now open for those looking to buy God of War: Ragnarok in the UK, which has also revealed the pricing for the Jotnar and Collector's Editions of the game.

The Jotnar Edition will set buyers back £229.99, the Collector's Edition at £179.99, while PS5 copies cost £69.99, and PS4 £59.99. So, you can expect reasonably similar prices when buying in the US — preorders are expected to go live from 10 AM ET.

Preorders for both the Jotnar and Collector's Edition sold out exceptionally quickly in the UK, but there is more stock anticipated soon. At the time of writing PS Direct UK has not gone live with any preorders, but is expected to before the end of the day on July 15.

Graphical modes for the game have also seemingly been revealed via an email from UK retailer ShopTo. Details provided promise that the game will let you "switch between full 4K resolution at a targeted 30[fps], or dynamic resolution upscaled to 4K at a targeted 60fps."

Ragnarok will be available in four separate editions when it launches on November 9. The Collector's Edition is set to include a slew of additional physical and digital items for buyers, alongside a 16" replica of the famous Mjölnir hammer.

The Jotnar Edition of God of War Ragnarok is very similar to the Collector's Edition, but it will include a few extra premium items. There's also a Digital Deluxe edition that costs £79.99 / $79.99.

God of War: Ragnarok picks up from the Norse reboot for the classic action series, and a gameplay trailer showed us a familiar mix of fantasy combat, and family bickering. The game will finally introduce Thor, and will seemingly introduce some exciting changes to the action systems.

In other God of War news, Sony is reportedly developing a God of War series for Amazon, to go along with its other series productions, like the Horizon series on Netflix and The Last of Us for HBO.

Gremlins creator Joe Dante has accused The Mandalorian creators of "shamelessly" copying his Mogwai design for Gizmo to create the show's scene-stealing character, Grogu.

As reported by Variety, Dante recently reflected on the enduring popularity of his 1984 horror-comedy Gremlins and its 1990 sequel, telling the San Francisco Chronicle that he pins the success of the franchise on Gizmo. He recognized that the same could be said for The Mandalorian's pint-sized star Baby Yoda, who he thinks is a blatant ripoff of the Mogwai.

"I think the longevity of [the film] is really key to this one character (Gizmo), who is essentially like a baby," Dante told the publication. "Which brings me, of course, to the subject of Baby Yoda, who is completely stolen and is just out-and-out copied. Shamelessly, I would think."

When The Mandalorian debuted back in 2019, Baby Yoda was an instant hit. Everyone loved the little green fella who would eventually be called Grogu… but the team at Lucasfilm were not so sure in the beginning. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau ferociously debated the character, looking over various concept designs before one puppet design emerged as the frontrunner.

The real animatronic Grogu used on-set was eventually put together in three months, and required three or four puppeteers to bring to life. The time and effort that went into creating the creature paid off as the character quickly became an indelible pop-culture phenomenon, starring in GIFs and memes across the internet, and spawning lots of merchandise.

Yoda's species can live to be at least 900 years old and with Grogu at a spritely 53, the little guy seems to be primed to be part of Star Wars for a long, long time. Favreau recently discussed the possibility of using Grogu as a keystone figure as stories continue decades and centuries into the franchise's timeline, admitting that it's something they've thought about.

Meanwhile, the Mogwai are set to make a comeback in an upcoming HBO Max animated show that will center around the creatures who run amok when their caretakers are careless. The series, which is officially titled Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, will serve as a prequel to the movies, telling the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing first met Gizmo.

God of War: Ragnarok Collector's + Jotnar Edition Preorders UK

Where to Preorder God of War: Ragnarok in the UK

Those who preorder God of War Ragnarök before launch will get the Launch Edition. This will include cosmetic items, Kratos Risen Snow Armour, and the Atreus Risen Snow Tunic. It is noted that Atreus' armour change is purely cosmetic, so it's likely Kratos' Snow Armour will actually provide some stat boosts.
