the focal point of the friends LEGO set is central perk, a new york coffee shop which serves as a hub for the show’s main protagonists. its construction features the iconic main seating area including the sofa, armchair, 2 chairs and a table. other accessory elements in this café playset include a newspaper, 15 coffee cups and a ‘reserved’ sign, plus 3 vases and buildable flowers. the facade of the coffee shop is revealed by a clever mechanism that turns the entire set around, framed by tv lights.
