LEGO The Simpsons: Series 13 and D2C set on the menu

Things are getting clearer regarding the LEGO The Simpsons range with a confirmation of the release in May 2014 of what we can consider as the series 13 of Collectible Minifigures (LEGO Reference 71005), dedicated exclusively to the characters of the series.

16 sachets in the usual size containing 16 of the inhabitants of Springfield including Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Apu, Chief Wiggum, Moe, Itchy and Scratchy and a few others ...

Only one set is on the program at the start of 2014 and it will be the home of the Simpson family.

The release of this box sold exclusively in the LEGO Stores and on the LEGO Shop (It will therefore be a D2C set - Direct2Consumer) is scheduled for April 2014.

For the occasion, a special episode of the animated series (In the same format as the special LEGO Star Wars episodes The Padaan Menace, The Empire Strikes Out, etc.) will be released in May 2014.

This information is reported by the site nerdly.co.uk who seems to keep them from a very knowledgeable source.
