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.

What we learned from ‘Call Her Alex': Alex Cooper opens up about alleged sexual harassment, childhood bullying and her podcaster beginnings
With the premiere of Call Her Alex, Hulu's two-part documentary charting the rise of famous podcaster Alex Cooper, fans are given a more candid look at the woman behind the microphone — and a multimillion-dollar media empire. The documentary charts Cooper's origin story, from a bullied middle schooler who found solace in making home videos in her basement to her complicated history as a Division 1 soccer player at Boston University, and then to the early beginnings of Call Her Daddy, which she started with her ex-friend Sofia Franklyn. Between Cooper's vulnerable recollections of her childhood, college life and the start of her podcasting career, the documentary features scenes of the 30-year-old media mogul during her 2023-2024 Unwell tour. Here we take a look at the biggest takeaways from Call Her Alex. While Cooper had an easy time befriending girls, she remembers that growing up, she was often bullied by the boys in her class for the way she looked. 'I was so scared of boys because of the way they treated me,' she said. 'I had a lot of comments of like, 'You look like a skeleton.' Boys coming up to me being like, 'Oh my gosh, her legs are so frail.' Always making comments about my body and my hair. I'm naturally a redhead, so kids would say, 'You're a ginger, you don't have a soul,' 'firecrotch,' 'you're disgusting,' 'no one wants to touch you.'' All Cooper wanted, she said, was to be liked. 'I hated myself,' Cooper admitted. 'All I wanted them to do was like me, so that I could feel what my friends were feeling at sleepovers of, like, being giddy on AIM messenger, like messaging the boys. I want to be a part of feeling wanted and desired. I was deeply hurt, but I hid it.' Between 2013 to 2015, the Call Her Daddy podcaster played Division 1 soccer at Boston University. While she was initially excited about joining the team and being around so many other women, her experience was eventually ruined by Nancy Feldman, the team's head coach, who Cooper said paid her unwanted and inappropriate attention. 'I came in ready to work. I was determined to make a name for myself on that field. So when my coach started to pay extra attention to me, I figured it was probably because I was playing well,' Cooper said. Boston University did not immediately respond to Yahoo Entertainment's request for comment. Her relationship with Feldman 'shifted' in her sophomore year. 'I started to notice her really starting to fixate on me, way more than any other teammate of mine,' she said. 'It was confusing because the focus … was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me.' Cooper recalled a time during the preseason, in which Feldman requested to see her in her office. 'She would pull me in, just be staring at me, sit next to me on the couch, put her hand on my thigh,' Cooper alleged. 'I felt so deeply uncomfortable. … I was attending BU on a full tuition scholarship. If I didn't follow this woman's rules, I was gone.' Feldman, according to Cooper, once voiced disdain that she had spent the night off campus. 'My coach found out that I got dropped off on campus by a guy I was seeing, and she called for a private meeting between us,' said Cooper. 'She asks me, 'Did you have sex last night?' And I'm like, 'I'm sorry, what?' And she's like, 'I don't know if you should be sleeping off campus.' And I'm like, 'All of the other girls on my team sleep off campus.'' Cooper said that as an apparent result of her sleeping off campus, Feldman decided to bench her during the NCAA's first round women's soccer game against St. John's. 'She wouldn't play me, she was holding me back. She would try to punish me, and it made no sense to everyone else,' Cooper said. When she was finally allowed to play, Cooper recalled, she scored a goal to tie, and eventually led the team to a 2-1 victory over St. John's. 'We walked the entire length of the soccer field after we had just won this huge game. It is dead silence. She will not say one word to me, and then she does the interview — and she will not say my name,' she said. 'It was this psychotic game of, 'You want to play? Tell me about your sex life.' 'I have to drive you to your night class. Get in the car with me, alone.'' Cooper and her parents, Bryan and Laurie, eventually told the dean of athletics at Boston University of Feldman's alleged sexual harassment. The university's representatives, however, refused to fire Feldman. Cooper, as a result, decided to quit the team in her junior year, but was still able to keep her full tuition scholarship. 'No investigation, nothing. Within five minutes, they had entirely dismissed everything I had been through,' she said. Feldman, who began coaching Boston University's women's soccer team in 1995, retired in 2022. At the end of the first episode of Call Her Alex, Cooper revisited the Boston University campus and soccer field. 'I felt a lot of anger. Anger at my coach, anger at my school and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,' she said. 'It's just hard to look at this 'cause of how it was, like, all taken away from me. It just feels f***ed. I don't think anyone could've prepared me for the lasting effects that came from this experience.' Cooper, while tearfully walking on the field, reflected on the pain Feldman inflicted on her — and the determination she felt upon finishing college. 'She turned something that I loved so much into something extremely painful. When I look back at that time in my life, I was scared, hopeless. I had no resources and no options. And the minute I left that campus, I was so determined to find a way where no one could ever silence me again,' she said. To help get Call Her Daddy launched, Cooper enlisted the help of her former roommate Sofia Franklyn, with whom she lived in New York City. Cooper had asked Franklyn if she wanted to be part of the podcast, and she agreed. Together, the pair began recording episodes of CHD, which focused on their candid conversations about their sexual exploits as women. Cooper and Franklyn eventually inked a three-year, $75,000 base salary each with Barstool Sports, a digital media company, which took over ownership of the podcast in 2018. Their relationship, according to Cooper, was more strained than the podcast would make it seem. 'It was the classic, you think you see something online and people genuinely believe we were like sisters. But our relationship was so awful,' she said. When it came time to renegotiate their contract with Barstool, Cooper and Franklyn couldn't come to an agreement, which led to Cooper taking over the podcast solo. The Boston University alum continued to record the podcast under Barstool until June 2021, before inking a $60 million, three-year deal with Spotify in July 2021. Franklyn addressed the Call Her Daddy drama on her Instagram Story. 'You all know my past. Thank u for being a part of my journey…this year is about letting MYSELF out of the Chd/Barstool Box & being my grown, complex self,' she wrote on June 10. 'Less scared, less performative. More present & vulnerable.' During the June 5 episode of her own podcast, Sofia with an F, Franklyn opened up about wanting to put the CHD era behind her. 'I think the internet sees me as one way, which I love and is a part of me,' Franklyn said. 'There's always going to be the Call Her Daddy, Barstool thing, right? Sexual, ditzy, which I mean, I am those things. I can be sexual and ditzy, and smart at the same time, you know? But also, I think after the drama, I like had this really hard exterior because I was so scared.'

It's World Play Day, and 10 of my favorite Lego sets just went on sale
Today is the International Day of Play — a reminder to spend time creating a more playful world. For me, it's another excuse to build a Lego kit for myself and another chance to share my love of Lego with CNN Underscored readers. I'm tapping in to celebrate the company's World Play Day by rounding up my 10 favorite Lego deals right now. Lego Star Wars Starship Collection Millennium Falcon The pride and joy of my Lego collection is the UCS Millennium Falcon. That set is a little too pricey to recommend to everyone, but this smaller version of the legendary Star Wars ship isn't. The scaled-down starfighter is the perfect build to set on your desk. Unwind by assembling a model made of over 900 pieces. Lego Icons McLaren MP4/4 and Ayrton Senna I recently had the chance to chat with the Lego Group's Senior Vice President of the Americas, Skip Kodak, and he told me this was his favorite set. He remarked about Senna's impact on Brazil and the world of racing. This kit kicked off the Lego Group's collaboration with Formula 1. I was thrilled to see it on sale today, let alone at its all-time low price on Amazon. Lego Icons Bonsai Tree Lego just released a new Japanese Maple Bonsai Tree that I loved after building it. If you're a savvy shopper waiting for a sale, the original Bonsai Tree set has dropped to within $1 of the all-time low price while 20% off. The details on this kit make it perfect to use as home decor, and I adore how playful the swappable leaves are. Lego Marvel Infinity Gauntlet Set I bought this Marvel set back at full price and can still recommend it. Today's 36% discount makes it an even better value as Amazon snaps the price to its lowest of the year. This might be a model built to display in your MCU collection, but just the act of assembling a kit like this is a great way to spend some time playing. Lego Star Wars R2-D2 Astromech Droid R2-D2 might just be the most recognizable robot in all of science fiction. This Amazon discount couldn't have come at a better time, so you can build your version of the astromech droid at its second-best price yet. This would also be a great gift for dad, if you're looking for any Father's Day deals. LEGO DC Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor The newest Superman movie is about to hit theaters and assembling this set will get you ready for the film about the Man of Steel. It just launched earlier in the year and was one of the Lego kits I was most excited to see hit store shelves in January. Now, it's on sale for one of the first times and down to its best price ever. Lego Botanicals Mini Orchid Set Lego's miniature botanical sets are easily some of the most popular kits for builders of all ages. If you're looking to enjoy the meditative process that is assembling a Lego set, this Mini Orchid would be a great entry point at 20% off. It features a brick-built pot and intricate flower designs that resemble the real plant, without having to water it. Lego Creator 3-in-1 Retro Camera I love the Creator 3-in-1 lineup, and this camera set is calling to the photographer in me. It assembles more than just a retro camera, with instructions for rebuilding its 261 pieces into two other builds. Lego Icons Succulents Place one of the nine included Lego succulents all around your home for less. This set features several types of cacti and desert plants that can be combined into a single centerpiece or scattered to add a bit of playful charm to any room. Lego Star Wars Arc-170 Starfighter I bought this set back in January when it originally launched, and now it's on sale for the second time. It's one of my favorite ships in the Star Wars universe and makes for a great Lego build, especially now that it's 20% off. Nearly all of today's Lego set deals have landed at their lowest prices of the year. Most are also being paired with the best discounts ever, with at least 20% off a wide range of kits from themes like Star Wars, F1, the Botanicals collection, DC and more. Everything also arrives before the weekend, making these kits the perfect last-minute Father's Day gifts. World Play Day is the Lego Group's spin on the United Nations' International Day of Play. The mission is to take a more intentional approach to sparking play to encourage creativity and even improve well-being. I grew up building and playing with Lego — so this is a cause that's near and dear to my heart. As an adult who still unwinds by assembling these building kits, I couldn't agree more that taking some time to have fun is important. Whether it's for kids who could use some extra time off their iPads and smartphones or for adults who could use an excuse to have a little more fun, it's a reminder to channel some whimsy and, well, spend some time playing. This week, I had a chance to talk with Skip Kodak, the Lego Group's Senior Vice President of American Operations, about what it means to play. As fun as it is to swoosh around a brick-built Star Wars X-Wing, there's more to play than just that. I asked Kodak about how play has evolved for Lego over the years, especially as Lego makes more and more with display-focused kits, like the Botanicals I included above. He expressed that it isn't just for kids — building any of these kits, whether it's a model meant to double as home decor or just recreate something from pop culture — just the act of putting together a Lego kit counts. Sitting down and building is my preferred way to destress, so I'm always looking to share that joy by writing about Lego. The company is also encouraging play by launching pop-up installations to help the cause. Across the world, from here on the east coast in Boston to overseas in Berlin, London and Shanghai, these in-person activations merge brick-built statues with other activities to help kids (and adults) alike spend some time playing. Here at CNN Underscored, we make it our job to stay up on all the latest products, but we don't just find them; we also rigorously test products from hundreds of brands to ensure every gift you give is a hit. As for this discount, you're getting a recommendation from a lifelong Lego fan. Senior deals editor Rikka Altland has been building Lego since before she could form full sentences. She has also reported on Lego professionally for nearly a decade and has collected kits for almost twice as long. Altland is always buying new kits, so when she says she loves a set and thinks it's worth buying, she's putting her money where her mouth is.

Alex Cooper Accuses Former Soccer Coach of Sexual Harassment in New Documentary
In her documentary Call Her Alex, the media personality and Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper detailed alleged sexual harassment she said she endured during her three-season stint on the Boston University women's soccer team that began in 2013. In the film, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, Cooper claimed that her then-coach, Nancy Feldman, developed a fixation on her that led to 'deeply uncomfortable' interactions, including verbal remarks and physical touch. 'My sophomore year, everything really shifted,' Cooper said in the documentary, per Vanity Fair. 'I started to notice her really starting to fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine. And it was confusing because the focus wasn't like, 'You're doing so well. Let's get you on the field. You're going to be a starter.' It was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body, and her always wanting to be alone with me.' More from Rolling Stone 'Call Her Daddy' Host Alex Cooper Stars in New Doc Premiering at Tribeca Chappell Roan Reveals the Best Part of Her Success: 'I Did Not Kiss the Ring' Chappell Roan Says Her Younger Self Wouldn't 'Be Able to Register' the Person She's Become Cooper noted that since she was attending Boston University on a full-tuition scholarship, she felt limited in her resources and options while navigating the alleged harassment. 'I didn't follow this woman's rules, I was gone,' she said, adding: 'Every time I tried to resist her, she would say, 'There could be consequences.'' Cooper alleged that she submitted written documentation detailing her interactions with Feldman to Boston University. 'They said, 'We're not gonna fire her, but you can keep your entire scholarship and that's that.' No investigation. Within five minutes, they had entirely dismissed everything I had been through.' Feldman and Boston University did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment. In the film, Cooper claims that Feldman would pry for personal details about her intimate relationships. 'It was this psychotic game of, 'You wanna play? Tell me about your sex life. I have to drive you to your night class, get in the car with me alone,'' Cooper said. 'I started trying to spend as little time as possible with her. Taking different routes to practice where I knew I wouldn't run into her, during meetings, I would try to sit as far away from her as possible. Literally anything to not be alone with this woman.' In one scene, Cooper and her former teammate Alex Schlobohm recalled unusual game tape reviews during which Feldman would allegedly make comments about Cooper's body. 'We're gonna rewind my tape every five seconds and we're gonna talk about my hair and my body,' said Cooper. She recalled Feldman making remarks along the lines of, ''Look at those legs. Everybody, look at Alex in her uniform.'' When Cooper and her parents first considered pursuing legal action prior to the start of her final year at Boston University, the attorneys they spoke to warned them of the grueling process that would await them. 'If I'm gonna be real with you, they will drag this on for years and this will be your life,'' Cooper recalled being told. But they did agree that 'this is clearly a case of sexual harassment.' Cooper ultimately did not play soccer during her senior year at the university. Feldman retired in 2022 and received the declaration of 'Nancy Feldman Day' in Boston on Dec. 11. 'I felt a lot of anger—anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,' Cooper said. 'I don't think anyone could've prepared me for the lasting effects that came from this experience. She turned something that I loved so much into something extremely painful.'
