Lego the simpsons

Everything that had been announced by LEGO on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the animated series has been produced and offered for sale: The set 71006 The Simpsons House and the series of 16 collectible minifigs (71005).

LEGO didn't promise anything more, and at no time did the manufacturer leave the door open for future sets. And yet, there are many who hope that LEGO will take advantage of the current craze around these products to extend the experience and add a few additional boxes or bags to this range.

A list of potential sets was posted in August 2013 on Reddit (see this article), but this false rumor has denied itself over the months. No The Simpsons sets, except for 71006, were announced during the various Toy Fair beginning of the year.

There is no viable information today on the continuation of this line at LEGO. Knowing that the development of a set or a range cannot be decided overnight, LEGO would have to have projects in its boxes at an already very advanced stage so that we can see a second series appear as if by surprise. sachets or a few additional boxes.

Let's face it, no matter what the fans think, there's next to no chance of Ned Flanders' house, Moe's bar, or Springfield school hitting the shelves. LEGO has given fans a collector's set, but there will likely never be a System line. The Simpsons.

A second series of sachets would however be welcome: There are enough characters, even secondary ones, to fill 16 new sachets. But I think LEGO just wanted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the animated series with a few spinoffs, nothing more. The party is over...

It's up to you to see if you find it normal that some brands apply significantly higher prices, up to 3.75 / 4 € per bag, as far as I'm concerned I'm patiently waiting for my box of 60 bags ordered on amazon Italy...

LEGO The Simpsons Special Episode

Big promotion around the 550th episode of the animated series The Simpsons entitled "Brick Like Me": After the many articles in the press, the various and varied interviews, the teaser and the visuals distilled on social networks in recent weeks, here is the poster posted on the facebook page of the series to promote the broadcast on Sunday 4 May 2013 on the American channel FOX of this episode in LEGO sauce.

As was the case for The LEGO Movie, it is no longer clear whether the boxes and minifigs are products derived from the work concerned or whether this episode is ultimately only a luxury advertisement for a range. of toys. The situation is slightly different with The Simpsons, however, as the special episode minifigs do not closely or remotely resemble those available in The Simpsons House set 71006 or the collectible minifig series pouches.
