Confirmed - Coming in 2014! (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/simpsons-lego-series-19868957)
People already protesting those sets! (https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-General/SAY-NO-TO-LEGO-SIMPSONS/td-p/5291968) :P

Wow, can't believe how bent out of shape some people are getting about the Simpsons stuff. I mean, as a parent, I understand that you don't necessarily want little kids watching the Simpsons. But honestly, I don't see how it is much more inappropriate than Lord of the Rings, or even Pirates/Lone Ranger. I haven't seen the Lone Ranger, but I've heard it is pretty dark in parts and definitely not little kid appropriate in those instances. Our daughter really took an interest in Hobbit/LOTR stuff late last year/early this year, but I wasn't letting her anywhere near those movies yet (I did let her watch the Shire parts, which are her favorites anyways). Same type of things like Pirates of the Caribbean.
I guess in a way, LEGO was a safe option for her to explore that world. The Orcs aren't scary to her in LEGO form (we also have the game for Wii), and it was a way for her to experience LOTR without seeing the movies. I guess the issue with Simpsons is maybe a bit different, since it isn't because of scary images but more about crudeness, but I don't see how you'll see much of that in the LEGO lineup - aside from maybe having Moe's or the Duff plant or something.

The Simpsons LEGO house revealed (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90411)

Outside of the figures all looking stoned, this may be the greatest set of all time
-
$199 is a great price for this set imo...I'd imagine there must be a ton of smaller sets in the pipeline and not just this thing - unless it's a stand alone release.
-
Yeah, the eyes are way creepy. And no Santa's Little Helper (aka Santos L. Halper)? #fail

They are doing blind bags for these aren't they?

Yes
The LEGO THE SIMPSONS house will be available February 1st in LEGO retail outlets for $199.99 (USD). The line of LEGO THE SIMPSONS minfigures will launch in May 2014 in all major toy retailers for $3.99 (USD) each.
-
Mini figs are great and all however bad the eyes look on these things but I was referring to "sets" Look at how many LEGO movie sets are out right now (if you can find them at retail at this time in the year) and are coming out besides the Sea Cow - another massive set like this one. They have many smaller LEGO building sets selling under that banner.
-
That's a great set, and a heck of a value. 2500 plus pieces for only $199 for a licensed set? By comparison, the UCS X-Wing is the same price and has 1500 pieces, and the Ewok Village has 2000 pieces for $250.
Good thing lots of the Star Wars and hero sets for the first part of the year are pretty lame, it'll free up some cash for this set.
Not sold on the minifigs but I'm sure I'll change my mind when I have them in hand.
-
The Simpsons house is now available for LEGO VIP members.

Looks like LEGO is close to revealing the Minifigs
Wow. Sneaky preview. I can't for the life of me figure out which character that might be.
-
Lineup is:
Homer
Marge
Lisa
Bart
Maggie
Grampa
Ned Flanders
Milhouse
Apu
Chief Wiggum
Ralph Wiggum
Nelson
Krusty the Clown
Mr. Burns
Itchy
Scratchy
-
And a dollar bump to $3.99 each.
I was thinking about getting the house, but I'll probably just stick to the minifigures. Would like to see another wave, some classic characters still left - Moe, Barney, Sideshow Bob, Otto, Ms. Crabapple, Principal Skinner, Supernintendo Chalmers, Comic Book Guy, Smithers, etc. Christ, you can probably do two more waves of minifigs and still have plenty of characters left to pick from.

Simpsons mini figs. I'm in for a complete set.
-
Me too. I am going to need to become an expert on the blind bag fondling though.
-
Shouldn't be too hard to tell which figure is which being that there's lots of unique parts - pie & hair for Krusty, bat for Nelson, sax for Lisa, Marge's hair, etc. Milhouse and Ralph will probably be a bitch considering they both have short legs and the tile with the only difference their heads.
-
I picked up 8 of the 16 new minifigs tonight at Walmart. I probably could have gotten more but 20 minutes of fondling was enough for me. :-X
I only guessed wrong on one as it turns out, thought I had Mr Burns but somehow ended up with Maggie. Maybe I just picked up the wrong bag, I had like 3 different piles going...(need, don't need, can't tell) It felt a little creepy but what the hell, better than ending up with a bunch of dupes.
Anyway, these are freaking awesome and I definitely plan on going back when I have more time and picking up the rest tomorrow. Even better, they all rang up at $2.97 because of some kind of discount due to an ad discrepancy on another Lego item.
-
I completed my Wave 1 collection tonight with the final 8 figures, and no dupes among the lot. Took me about 30 minutes this time around, some of those guys like Ralph and Milhouse were tricky. But it all paid off in the end. The Walmart price reduction ends Sunday apparently, so I was happy enough to have the lot for $50 total all said and done.
So are Target/TRU/Walmart gonna carry the house too?
-
I found a small bit of these today at the local TRU and snagged five of them. Ended up with Homer, Marge, Flanders, Burns and Milhouse. Quite a decent haul, but it might be tough to track a complete set down.
-
It's not actually all that hard if you have a more or less full case to pick from. I'm not sure what the distribution of figures is per case, but I was able to pick up all of them without any trouble at all really. Just time consuming.
Has anyone heard if there are any mini-sets planned for release around May 1? Or is that just the official drop date for the mini-figs?
-
That is if you walk into a fresh case. Around me the places that got cases sold through all of them in a day. I had a chance to grab a few, but with my two year old with me I didn't have a ton of time and then when I went back they were gone. The Walgreens near me must think I'm stealing. I stop in every day for 30 seconds and then walk straight out.
-
Does anyone know if May 1 is a hard street date or just a general release date? I imagine the latter since so many places are selling them.
Obnoxious guy at one of the Targets by me that won't pull them from the back because first he said they "may be street dated" then decided he knew for sure they are street dated.
I worked at Target for a long time and ran both electronics and toys and am very aware of not breaking street dates, but this guy's attitude really bothered me. Both in person and then a few days later when I called and unfortunately he answered the call. Don't treat me like a moron.
-
May 1 is the street date
-
They are not hard locked by the Target POS. They will ring up if they are there.
-
Got someone to pull a case from back at Target today, but he then showed me they do say "do not sell before May 1" on them so at least I know they are street dated until next Thursday.
-
I've been buying bags here and there all week at my Target (Plymouth, MN) and of the 16 I've purchased (with minimal bag feeling) I have 12 of them and 2 duplicates (extra Scratchy & Maggie). Still need Chief Wiggum, Lisa, Milhouse, and Itchy.
-
My Target put out a shelf hanger full of these either today or late Thursday. There were a lot of them there but there were some scattered around so someone had been going through them. I didn't bother to pick any up, I'm not really a Simpsons fan.
E...
-
Today was the official launch date, so I swung by a local Target and grabbed a few blindly. Ended up with 2 Barts, Homer, Maggie, Nelson, Itchy and Flanders. Along with my TRU haul from last week this gives me 9 of the 16, and I have a few duplicates (and other duplicates from the last few series) that I should be able to trade either here or on Reddit for a complete set.
-
Is there officially supposed to be another wave of Simpsons blind figures?

Nothing has been said on any future Simpsons anything. I kind of doubt it actually but I wouldn't mind it one bit.
-
I hope so. I want Selma and Patty, Comic Book Guy, Moe, Barney, Carl, Duff Man, Smithers, Otto, Edna, Groundskeeper Willy, Principal Skinner, Hans Moleman, Sideshow Bob, Bumblebee Man and Kent Brockman,
-
I don't know why they would not consider doing a proper line for this brand like Star Wars, Harry Potter, LOTR, and every other license they have pretty much ever dealt with. They can't possibly think it wouldn't sell well, these things are insanely awesome and I would buy everything they put out and I am not even a Lego guy at all.
At the very least they should put the house in places like Target or TRU where more people could get a shot at it. The closest Lego store is over 2 hours away from here.
-
I hope so. I want Selma and Patty, Comic Book Guy, Moe, Barney, Carl, Duff Man, Smithers, Otto, Edna, Groundskeeper Willy, Principal Skinner, Hans Moleman, Sideshow Bob, Bumblebee Man and Kent Brockman,
I hope they let you pick the next wave.
-
I saw these at Target on Tuesday, and grabbed a handful of bags as well (Bart, Lisa, Mr. Burns, Chief Wiggum). Really nicely done I thought, although now I sort of want to try and get them all :).

I was only going to buy the family..................... Now somehow I have all 16.
-
Picked up another $20 worth today, mostly duplicates that I'll have to trade away.

any of these over Itchy and Scratchy...still not sure on that one. I really hope this goes Gaga and we either get more sets or another Wave. Moe's Bar, Power Plant, Android Dungeon, the School
-
Thanks to some trades I finally obtained a complete set of these.
-
I see the price on the Simpsons House has come down a bit on Amazon, pretty sure that will be my next big purchase. :)

5 cents? Wasn't this thing always $200?
-
I believe it was $200 if you walked into a Lego store and bought it, yeah. But we don't have one within 100 miles of here and the prices were consequently a lot higher on Amazon, I assume most were from 3rd party sellers. I'll admit it had been a while since I checked though, until this week.

I think I need the Kwik E Mart

Who needs the Kwik E Mart?

Who needs the Kwik E Mart?
I doooooo! :'(
-
I haven't bought the house yet either, but that Kwik E Mart is tempting. Hard to gather the money when there are multiple large Star Wars sets every year. Love that they included the secret vegan garden on the roof. I appreciate the Jasper reference too, but that really should have been a minifigure instead of a sticker.
The minifigs though, I'm all in. Simpsons Series 1 is the only minifigure set I've completed 100% so I need them all.
-
Meh...just bought the house for $160 off cl. Guess I'll have to get this now too. :)

Found Series 2 at Target tonight. Got cockblocked at check out due to 5/1 street date. :'(
-
Today is the Day! (great band, btw)
Seems like I've been waiting forever for these Simpsons figures to be released. I can't wait to start making the rounds at lunch.
Curious if TRU and Walmart will carry them starting today as well.
Does anyone have any good bag groping tips for this new batch? :D
-
I bought 4 since I was out and about and were on an endcap. Pretty sure 3 of them are the same now that I'm home but haven't opened them yet. I think 5 of the 16 all have the same accessory ?
Last time I'm feeling up baggies for toys.
-
I hit 5 Targets, 4 Walmarts and a TRU yesterday and nary a single Simpsons mini-figure to be found anywhere. :(
I was hoping these would be easier to find than Hasbro stuff.
-
They've been at all 3 Targets I've stopped at in the last two days.
Setup looks just like Jayson's pic. Sorry bro.
-
Grabbed my full set at the Lego Store after seeing Avengers this morning. Took about 20 minutes to go through and find a full set (Homer and Dr. Hibbert are the toughest to tell apart). Plus I had $120 in VIP points racked up, so I didn't pay anything.
-
I too grabbed a few at my local LEGO Store today when I went to grab the May 4th Yularen. They were pretty picked over, so I randomly grabbed four - Hibbert, Smithers, Marge and Moleman.
I still have extras of a few Series 1 figs if anyone here needs them!
-
I was psyched to find these yesterday at Target. I bought 16...got 8 different ones, 5 dupes I didn't have to open and 3 extra Maggie/Snowballs.
Hope to complete the set in the next couple of days. These are a lot harder to feel your way around than the last series.
-
Took me about 20-30 of groping mg bags last Friday at Target but I finally settled on 16...got out of the store and opened them in my car and found I had two Hibberts and no Homer. The whole key to me is feeling accessories...Homer and Hibbert have the same bodies and accessories so your left feeling for Hair...it's a tough one. The rest are fairly easy
-
I finally completed my collection tonight after tracking down Maggie and Moleman. I think these are all fantastic. I was surprised to see how much hate they have spawned in the Lego forums. Philistines!
-
These lil dudes are all sold out in my area for the past week or two. Just need 4 more and done...until next time. :)
-
I need Martin and Maggie, then I'm done with Series 2.
Finished them off over lunch hour. Still need Milhouse from series 1
-
So cool
-
Restock! I got 3 out of the 4 today. No clue how I confused Bart for Homer. DOH?
-
Has anyone seen/picked up the Kwik-E-Mart set yet? Is it even out? We don't have Lego stores around here so I am SOL on this one.

I've seen it at the Mall of America LEGO store. Looks awesome but I don't have the room for it.

I grew up in Northern VA so maybe your location clues have me totally confused, but aren't there Lego stores both at Tysons Corner Mall and Potomac Mills Mall still?
-
I finally broke down a bought the Simpsons house today at the Lego store here in Disney Springs. I heard this was being retired, and actually getting the chance to hold it in my hands was all the impetus I needed.
They had the Kwik E Mart set too, but I couldn't shell out all that dough at once. Soon...

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
It's floors are sticky-mart!
