Lego Simpsons

[griffin]

The Minifigure wave comes out globally in May (probably later here), to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the cartoon. (has it been that long already? It's amazing to think that it is only 5 years younger than Transformers)

The set of 16 figures will include - Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge, Maggie, Chief Wiggum, Itchy, Scratchy, Mr Burns, Krusty the Clown, Milhouse, Ralph Wiggum, Nelson, Apu, Ned Flanders and Grandpa.
(they are probably the most significant 16, so will probably all be available in the build sets as well, just to cater to both completist and thrifty collectors)

Interesting to hear that the 25th anniversary episode will be a Lego episode... or at least one of the 25th anniversary episodes, as I read elsewhere that a crossover with Family Guy was to be expected as well.

I assumed the Lego bit was just going to be one of those extended guest animated couch gags they've been doing lately.

25 years it may be, but Simpsons took a few years to come here, definitely wasn't on air in 1989 in this country.

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.
