A more-expanded version of the consulting room includes everything in the smaller version, with the addition of Sherlock's couch, Union Jack pillow, lamps, a coffee table, an end table, a bowl of fruit, the iconic fleur de lys motif wallpaper (in sticker form), and a skull art print by John Pinkerton.

"The review is a thorough process from its start and can take several months," the Lego CUUSOO Team page stated. "When finished, we make a 'go/no go' decision to develop and sell a product based on the 'Sherlock' concept." Here's hoping the "Sherlock" Lego set becomes a real set and isn't destined to only become a fan dream to store away in our Mind Palace.
