As designed, the set includes the living room of Blanche’s Miami house and mini-figs of all four Golden Girls — Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia — as well as Stanley (just pretend Sophia calls him a “yutz” every time you play with him). More necessary than Stanley is the inclusion of a mini plastic cheesecake that’s perfect for eating in the full kitchen set while imagining new stories of St. Olaf. The project currently has 3,204 supporters, but for LEGO to take this from incredible idea to production, over 7,000 more people will [need to sign](https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98263) on to show their support. As an added incentive, [the designer has promised](https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98263/updates) to add the infamous Lanai to the set if the project reaches 5000 votes. Luckily, there are 343 days left to reach the goal. LEGO did not respond to a request for comment at the time of publication.
