The Office is being transformed into a Lego set, and it even includes an iconic Michael Scott quote.

Only days after announcing a gigantic animatronic Bowser, Lego has hinted at another another epic release on Twitter.

Alongside a picture of a Lego stapler stuck inside some jello, with an office background of Dwight’s table, the Lego Ideas account penned: ‘The thing about a practical joke is you have to know when to stop… too bad we’re just getting started.’

For the uninitiated, the item-in-jello prank is an iconic recurrence in the the series, with the items being Dwight’s stapler, Michael’s ‘World’s Best Boss’ mug and Andy’s calculator.

It all starts with Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) thinks of the hilarious prank of putting Dwight Schrute III’s (Rainn Wilson) stapler in some jello, which leads to Dwight asking Michael (Steve Carrell) to fire Jim.

However, Michael thinks the whole prank is hilarious and tells Dwight to eat the stapler out of the jello mould, before trying to mock Dwight too.

Michael’s iconic quote then drops, as the enigmatic office manager reacts to the prank, all in the first ever episode.

While the hint was pretty small, it was enough to send fans into a frenzy, with one writing: ‘Just take my money already,’ as another penned: ‘SIGN…ME…UP…!!!’

“The thing about a practical joke is you have to know when to stop… too bad we’re just getting started.”
