Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Lego has announced a new set based on Friends in celebration of the sitcom's 25th anniversary.

The Friends set recreates the show's signature Central Perk coffee shop location and comes with mini figures based on Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Ross (David Schwimmer), Monica (Courteney Cox), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc), along with Central Perk manager Gunther (James Michael Tyler).

Each character includes a unique item inspired by the series -- Rachel's tray and coffee cup, Ross's brick-built keyboard, Monica's muffin, Chandler's laptop, Phoebe's guitar, Joey's pizza box and Gunther's broom.

Lego released a video Thursday of the Central Perk set being built, including the coffee shop's musical stage and service counter.

The Friends set will be available starting Sept. 1 for $59.99.

Friends premiered on NBC in September 1994. The show ran for 10 seasons, ending in 2004 after 236 episodes.

Netflix is the streaming home for the series until 2020, when Friends will move to WarnerMedia's new HBO Max streaming service.
