You, too, can own miniature versions of 15 characters who changed Scranton forever.
Michael, Dwight, Jim, Pam, Ryan, Angela, Oscar, Kevin, Stanley, Kelly, Phyllis, Meredith, Creed, Toby and Darryl round out “The Office” employees that are sold as part of a 1,164-piece Lego set that was spotted on the market in March after having been discontinued in 2024. The kit was developed by a fan of the show through the Lego Ideas website and released in 2022.
Set 21336, consisting primarily of a replica of the Scranton Dunder Mifflin branch, is currently for sale on Amazon.com, with the asking price of $144.47, and at Walmart’s online retail website for $150. Lego online stores show the set, with a price tag of $119.99, as out of stock.

The set includes callbacks to the hit NBC television show, the listings report, such as the Jell-O stapler, a golden ticket, a Dundie Award, Michael’s script, Jim’s teapot, the “World’s Best Boss” mug, an engagement ring for Pam, Dwight’s hidden weapons and Kevin’s pot of chili.
It also includes specific NEPA-centric shoutouts. The map behind Michael Scott’s desk is “an accurate representation of the NEPA region,” one Reddit fan was delighted to observe. Alfredo’s Pizza even got its own tile.
Cooper’s Seafood House in Scranton, which was featured in an episode of “The Office” during the show’s fifth season titled “Business Ethics,” may be one of few brick-and-mortar stores that carry Set 21336.
Ryan Cooper, an owner at Cooper’s Seafood House who handles most of the purchasing in the gift shop, said “The Office” Lego sets are a popular sales item.
“A couple a week sell; it’s one of the biggest sellers here,” Cooper said, adding that for a while it was rare to come across a set.
“You couldn’t find them anywhere,” he said, noting that Cooper’s bought hundreds of them “direct from Lego” at one time.
Jack Cooper, also an owner of Cooper’s, said he was aware that “The Office” Lego sets had been discontinued.
“They don’t make those anymore, but we had bought them previously, like, years ago,” he said. “The company does not make them; they are out of production.” He said they’d purchased the sets for the gift shop when they were first released.
“We did buy a lot, which was a smart move,” Cooper said, adding that many people who visit are seeking out a connection with “The Office.”
“They come in for everything from ‘The Office,’ ” Cooper said, adding the gift shop consists primarily of items relating to the show. “It’s just totally devoted to ‘Office’ merch,” he explained. “We have hundreds of things from ‘The Office.’ ”
Cooper said he felt relieved to hear the sets were on sale again, because inventory was running low.
“We don’t have a lot left, we have a few left,” he said.
Jenna O’Malley, the early childhood program coordinator for the Albright Memorial Library in Scranton, said she has seen “The Office” Lego set belonging to a friend of hers in their “20s,” and liked the way it looked.
“I think it’s cool. It looks like the set if you were to view it from above with all the different rooms and stuff,” O’Malley said.
O’Malley sometimes helps run a Lego workshop at the library weekly Friday and Sunday, where kids through sixth grade are welcome to mingle and model-build. Sunday is the busiest day, with sometimes as many as 15 to 20 families, or 40 to 50 people, attending, she said. The library provides the Legos. The children provide the whimsy.
People travel from all over the world to see the real-life home base of “The Office.” One brought “The Office” Lego set with him and featured it in a video segment for his Lego-themed YouTube channel, Brick Quest.
Lucas Lettrick, 34, a YouTube influencer who also serves as an official Lego brand ambassador, visited Scranton with his two young sons along with a personal challenge — to achieve 10 show-related tasks. At each stop, they took a photo incorporating the Lego mini-figures from the show’s cast.
Lettrick purchased the set himself, and confessed to being a “big fan” of “The Office,” with a personal desire to visit the scenes of his favorite episodes. Items on his “Office” to-do list included eating a slice of Alfredo’s pizza for lunch, and dinner at Cooper’s Seafood, and stops at Penn Paper & Supply Co., the Dwight Schrute mural and the Lackawanna County Courthouse.
“I wanted to compare ‘The Office’ Lego set to the actual locations,” Lettrick said, adding a highlight was their stop at Alfredo’s. “The pizza was really good. Me and my boys loved it.”
Leslie Galacci, an owner of Alfredo’s Cafe, was surprised to learn that they were part of the LEGO set.
“I honestly didn’t know,” she said, calling it “definitely a privilege and an honor” to be included.
After The Times-Tribune tipped her off to the fact that her restaurant has been immortalized in plastic as part of Set 21336, she went online to see it for herself.
“That was pretty impressive,” Galacci said. “We didn’t know about the Lego set out or anything, to be honest. I was surprised. I was shocked.”
She added that “The Office” brings a lot of traffic to her restaurant.
“We have customers who come in to see if our establishment was even an original establishment before the show,” she said. “They didn’t know we were a real place.”
Lego aficionados make up a tightknit, all-ages, worldwide crew of fans who band together in clubs, festivals and community to share their love of Legos. Northeast Pennsylvania opportunities to engage in Lego antics as a group are mostly aimed at children — despite the target audience of many Lego sets, with boxes illustrating that the colorful blocks are for users up to age 99.
Penn State Scranton offers an afternoon summer camp session for children ages 6 to 16 where they can “learn basic engineering concepts while playing with Legos” as they build “seesaws, rolling vehicles, hand-operated lifts and merry-go-rounds,” as well as experimenting with “pulleys, levers, gears, wheels and axles.”
The Jewish Community Center of Scranton chose Legos as the theme of its annual Purim Carnival and celebration in March, inviting participants to recreate Queen Esther’s palace, Purim masks, “graggers” (noisemakers) and anything else they desired out of Legos. The free event also featured prizes, games, face painting and food. Dan Cardonick, the JCC’s CEO, said about “400 came through.”
“We chose Lego to be able to build the beautiful setting of Shushan, which is where the story of Purim takes place,” Cardonick said, adding Legos provided an “opportunity for kids to create and have some fun, and find ways to tie Lego into the story of Purim,” as well as a chance “for kids to become master builders.”
Scrantonians seeking bigger Lego experiences have two options both east and south. One of 11 worldwide Legoland Resorts and one of only three in the U.S. is located in Goshen, New York, an hour-and-a-half drive east of Scranton. The outdoor resort opened for the season April 10. The indoor Legoland Discovery Center Philadelphia at Plymouth Meeting Mall, a train tour through Lego creations, is located an hour and 45 minutes south of Scranton.
