$329 is out of the question. What's worse is that you can't ship Lego overseas from American retailers now. Scumbag Lego. I could deal with the prices, but only when I have another way of getting them.Quote:

Apparently big w will be getting this around the 5th of May, and it's listed at $298....
I recently bought the Simpsons house for $329 on lego.com
It's sitting MIB in my model car room. I'm decided on whether to open it or not.
I rang TRU garden city today and they advised the Simpsons minfigs have not arrived yet.
Mini figs are out at my big w in WA
3 boxes of mini figs on the registers in Campbelltown Big W and 4 houses will be in store next week, 2 of which me and another staff member have already nabbed...
2 boxes of Minifigures at Kmart Casula
Seen the Simpsons minifigs at Target, big w and kmart in Vic. Eastern burbs.
the mini figure look a lot better in real life then the pics they are quite nifty and will try to get a set.
Took me 1 1/2 hrs in my office to find all 16Quote:

Looks awesome Colin.
If anyone else is looking to collect the minifigs, the cheapest I've seen so far is at Mind Games at $4.50 a packet. Big W was $4.75 I think. Everywhere else is $5 until a sale hits.
Toymate at TopRyde has a good selection. Pulled a set yesterday. Had a few homers and Barts still there.
Are any figures rare, they seemed pretty evenly distributed to me.
Just looking to get the family, but missing Homer and Lisa!
Hopefully also a sale comes up soon.:)
The character quantities are different. This is how they are boxed up...
5 of each: Homer, Bart and Marge
4 of each: Lisa, Maggie, Ned, Krusty, Itchy, Scratchy
3 of each: Grampa, Milhouse, Ralph, Apu, Nelson, Wiggum, Burns
I found the below page a little bit useful in my selections... Aa long as it's somewhat of a fresh box, the codes should be consistent.

If i have time at work i often mark the bags with what fig is inside
20% off sale on lego at target from tomorrow 15th May :)Quote:

I think they still count as they are still sets, just very small sets. I think it is to exclude the video games and other things like the Lego ClocksQuote:

You know out of context that sounds so bad....Quote:

4 simpsons houses came in overnight at campbelltown big w. 2 left after mine and another staff members purchases. $298 so they are out the back in the office, so just ask for one if needed.
I'm hearing from everywhere that these sets are disappearing within hours. Good luck if you're hunting for them.
Keeping an eye on ebay to see the inflation!
Watched the Simpsons lego episode tonight, it was easily one of the more enjoyable and funnier stories they have done in years! After 20 years, they have done almost every story to death, but it was a sweet, if not somewhat similar to the movie in more of the themes explored.
Pre-prdered mine nearly a month ago, and it finally arrived yesterday.
The set is freaking huge, going to take a while to put it together. Didn't have a whole bunch of time last night so I've just built Homer's car and the garage so far.
Picked up the house from Big W last night. I cannot wait to build it.
Simpsons house also at Myer. $329 so same price as the lego store so good if you want it now, have gift cards or want to get a full set of the second series of lego movie cards at one go. Lego online store also has the TMNT flashback shredder minifig free.
Finally finished mine...now they can get terrorized by Optimus and Grimlock. lol.

The episode was at least fun to watch, which the Simpsons has struggled to do for me in the last few years. The tie in with the Lego movie was funny, as was a few Lego and toy in-jokes.... And making fun of the Hunger Games. :)
Just completed my set of 16 mini-figures today! Aside from the first two I bought, which ended up both being Scratchy, I had no doubles, and they were actually quite easy to feel the differences for.
I didn't put enough effort into those first two, hence I ended up with the same. They are all pretty cool, now just need to find a cool way to display them all.
