No, not [Rory’s future child](http://time.com/4582661/gilmore-girls-ending-last-four-words/?iid=sr-link2), but a LEGO set straight out of Stars Hollow. Local hero Rainer Zufall created a _Gilmore Girls_ LEGO set and added it to the [Lego Ideas](https://ideas.lego.com/projects/174238) crowdsouricing platform, where fans can create and vote on new LEGO sets. LEGO Ideas is how the world got LEGO versions of [_The Big Bang Theory_](http://time.com/3907021/big-bang-theory-legos/?iid=sr-link3)and[ _Doctor Who_ ](http://time.com/4131680/doctor-who-lego/?iid=sr-link1)and how we _almost_ got a LEGO version of [the ](http://time.com/3813475/golden-girls-lego-set/?iid=sr-link5)[_Golden Girls_](http://time.com/3813475/golden-girls-lego-set/?iid=sr-link5)eating tiny LEGO cheesecake on the infamous lanai. For the _Gilmore Girls_ set, Zufall created a miniature version of Luke’s diner, including mismatched coffee mugs, an antique cash register, Lane serving up cups of coffee, and of course, a tiny “no cell phones” sign. All it needs to complete the image is a tiny Luke kicking out a tiny Taylor Doose for asking the citizens of Stars Hollow to sign a tiny petition. In Zufall’s vision, the potential _Gilmore Girls_ LEGO set would include minifigs of Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Lane, Kirk, and Jess (what, no Dean or Logan??). The set has already surpassed 6000 votes, meaning that LEGO is definitely paying attention.
