LEGO has just unveiled its new _The_ _Big Bang Theory_ LEGO set. The set includes mini-figures of the show’s seven main characters—Leonard, Sheldon, Penny, Howard, Raj, Amy, and Bernadette—and enough authentic detail to satisfy even the most Type-A fan_._ The minifigures of the characters are all dressed in outfits that any fan will recognize, from Sheldon’s Flash t-shirt to Raj’s multi-hued ensemble. This set comes from LEGO’s popular [Ideas crowdsourcing community](https://ideas.lego.com/), the same group of people behind the [forthcoming _Doctor Who_ LEGO set](http://time.com/3697478/doctor-who-official-lego-set/) and the possible [_Golden Girls_ kit](http://time.com/3813475/golden-girls-lego-set/). The _Big Bang Theory_ set was created by two LEGO fan designers— Alatariel from Sweden and Glen Bricker from the USA—and selected by LEGO Ideas members. _The Big Bang Theory_ construction set will cost $59.99 and is expected to be available this summer.
